Message: [QUOTE="FfldCntyFan, post: 4714882, member: 71"] We have a ton of work to do (on many levels, both athletic and academic) but this should be (should have been for decades) the ultimate goal. I'm not sure it's possibly but it doesn't mean we should aspire to it, as long as we're willing to put the legimate work in to attempting to achieve it. I've felt for more than a decade and a half that the B1G's ultimate goal was to (among other things) lock up the DC to Boston corridor and became more convinced when they added Maryland and Rutgers. To complete this they would need to add us and UVA (but we would need to be a competent addition), which among other things is evidence that the ACC was never thinking on a high enough level when realignment began. I don't know if it can be achieved but I would much rather fall short of B1G membership while having built a B1G capable athletic/academic product than facing that we are lesser on both levels and never tried because we felt we could never get the invitation.
