Worth pointing out that the ACC totally owned the ACC-Big Ten Challenge for over a decade. But the Big Ten has been getting the better of it for the last decade.

The "missing" conference, if it isn't obvious, is the Big East.

I didn't include them because, as far as I know, they aren't affected by the changes with the SEC and Alliance.

Would that be the Big Least?

Yeah, no one has seen them in years, maybe fans should unite and force a missing persons report on the Big East, they used to be kind of important and now who cares? LOL

I feel sorry for them.

Maybe we should give Pitt back.

A good portion of the Big East is now in the ACC or other conferences. I hate to lose them because I enjoyed the Wars with UConn, 'Cuse, and G-Town! Now I hardly recognize them!

Speaking as a basketball fan, I would love to add UConn and Georgetown to the ACC.

Not only are they good basketball competition, but they are - gasp! - actually on the Atlantic Coast. What a concept.

Can we get Villanova, while we're at it?

That isn't happening, unless you want to turn into the failed Big East, or a modern day version of the old Metro conference. The days of schools being attractive to a conference because of basketball are over. Football drives the money train.

Money driving college sports makes me sad, but has been reality for a good long while! I like the ACC to be designed around a set of similar values/methodologies and a shared geographic region! Once we go too far down the current path, we lose some of what makes us special! Now, once we are a basketball AND football bell-cow maybe we can hold the ACC together for a bit. Adding us to Clemson, the "Alliance" + resurgence from peeps like FSU and/or Miami might be enough to generate the $$ to keep the ACC together!
