For reasons I cannot fathom there are quite a few on here who continually dream that we will end up in the ACC and periodically propose scenarios where they'll finally offer us a spot in their conference.

If we can remain financially competitive for the near term (massive if) we will have the opportunity to surpass all ACC schools in men's basketball and field a football program that could compete with the top of that conference (before anyone claims the latter isn't possible, look at where Pitt was in comparison to us their last 6-8 years in the BE and then look at where they've been the past  few years in the ACC).

Personally I believe it would be very satisfying reaching a point where they would start begging us to join, only to tell them we are too good for them.  If I hit Mega tonight I'll commit to cover the media revenue gap (where we are vs what we would have received if the B-12 invited us) for the next few years just to assist getting to where we are too good for the ACC.

I'll even throw in a bonus if we get to #7 before UNC.
