Howdy fellas, since VT predominately has the most posters of the ACC schools, I figured I'd stop by and get some input from ya'll on the recent expansion SportsHoopla. As a long-time Tiger fan, I find it difficult to stomach the fact that the ACC has not been proactive in advancing football since expansion, nor have they been proactive about expanding further. I would welcome any chance Clemson has to exit the league, but the more I think about it, it may serve our best interest to stay put and add to the ACC instead. How do ya'll feel about it? Are you willing to stick it out with the ACC provided we can actually become proactive in regards to football?
If FSU, VT, Clemson (assuming we can ever actually string together 10 win seasons), and potentially a combination of UNC/Miami/NC State/Maryland/GT can be consistently ranked I strongly feel the ACC has the potential to become a strong football conference. What worries me is if a combination of FSU, VT, Clemson, and/or NC State get poached by the SEC and VT, Maryland, and/or GT get poached by the Big Ten we would be forced to merge with the Big East just to survive. I do like the ACC as it stands, but if one of the top teams is gone, I'm not sure the league has staying power.
