The thought that we need to win big for a few years to be attractive, forget it, there is no future opportunity once this all goes down. If Turner and Ford don't pull a rabbit out of the hat, i hope you enjoyed D-1 football, and the hopes of moving up to a better league someday, i hope you enjoyed it very much.
Careful there hoop fan- some rag sheets might consider you 'irrational'.

I suspect if either Virginia school attempts to leave the ACC, the Va. Legislature is going to grab the doodads of the one leaving and say, "not so fast". I have heard nothing from Gov. McDonnell on this one, yet. He controls the Board of Visitors for both schools and he can force them to do his will.

Assume Big12 is left with a choice between BYU and Miami as their final add. They want both and it is a difficult decision. Would they toss Iowa St aside and take both?
This isn't discussed much but could certain Big Boy schools in name only be cut loose?

This is cut-throat business, as we all know, so why give these schools any consideration. Iowa State in particular.

3. Speaking on a teleconference with news media Wednesday to address Louisville’s addition to the ACC, commissioner John Swofford expressed confidence in member schools not jumping to other conferences based on conversations with ACC school presidents in the last 10 days. Asked about conversations with Tech president G.P. “Bud†Peterson, Swofford said that “the nature of our conversations has been emphatic in terms of their commitment to the ACC and Georgia Tech’s future.â€
Tech has been rumored as a possible target for the Big Ten, which plucked ACC charter member Maryland last week.

There is this from the Atlanta paper's blog which acknowledges that there has been such a rumor:3.
