State of things as Fall Camp nears

Mack is just getting older while still showing he learned nothing about what went wrong at Texas.

It seems clear that Disney/ESPN and the SEC, and also almost certainly the BT and FOX, want the ACC as dead as the Pac and will use whatever they can manage to get that job done. So 2024 could be the last season in which ACC football clearly is Major College .

The ACC leadership seems to remain clueless that in order to save yourself from major trouble you must first know how and why you ended up in a perilous state and then act to correct as much of that faulty set of decisions as you can. Otherwise, all new decisions are enslaved to the old bad ones and so ruined by them. The northeast sucks totally as a region for CFB, which means that with the exception of Penn St its schools simply cannot build and keep fan bases, ticket buyers and TV watchers, of any halfway decent size. Pitt escapes that to some degree because Pitt is about 50 miles north of the Mason-Dixon line and just 30 east of OH. But BC and to a slightly lesser degree Syracuse cannot escape it. Wake is the Rice of the ACC. No way in Hell that the SWC was going to survive in any meaningful form if you did not boot Rice before the SEC came knocking hard at the league's door. In fact, no way even the Big 12 could survive as truly Major if it kept a membership of so many schools with no appreciable TV fan base size in states that do not produce a decent amount of football talent (IA, KS especially).
