Added some clarification. GT has a lot in common with the northeastern schools in this way.
Expansion Rumors…

Still can’t wrap my head around Cal and Stanford in the ACC.

I have no problem with it. SMU has money, Stanford is a great school with the richest of the rich alums, Cal is also a fantastic school who has a great history with Georgia Tech - IYKYK.
Athlon’s predictions of the next round of expansion / end of the ACC (good riddance to Swafford’s failure).
1. FSU / Clemson are gone from the ACC potentially as soon as the end of the year.
2. UNC to the SEC. Probably with one of NCSU, Duke. Sounds like a UVA, VT situation brewing.
3. B1G adds Clemson, FSU to get to 20.
4. GT / Miami eventually end up in the B1G as #21, #22.
5. The B12 takes the ACC leftovers + Memphis to remain a viable #3 with 20 teams.
No one can complain about that.

Dream scenario at this point, which makes me think it's unlikely.

sticky, smelly, nasty
Anyone who thinks UNC is leaving the ACC needs to have his head examined.

1) good. öööö them. Hope they end up in the BIG12
2) öööö UNC
3) the BIG10 surrenders academic AAU accreditation for junk universities because footbawl
4) GT and Miami are better Universities than Clemson and FSU, by far.
5) I don't get why the BIG12 is the place to run to.

1980 was a long time ago. Last time UNC won the ACC in football. They are a pathetic football crowd.

UNC wears baby blue argyle football uniforms with a picture of a basketball player on them, and hired a literal clown to “coach” their defense. UNC football is a joke.

If the BIG10 takes Clemson and FSU, they can do a similar video where they brag about the proud academic reputation of the BIG10 and then pan the camera over to Clemson and FSU.
The B12 surviving makes sense over the ACC for 1 big reason. Most of the schools traveling to Iowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Colorado is a helluva lot easier than going from East coast to West coast. Vast majority of the teams are centrally located between coasts. Plus, the B12 could easily setup pods.
North:
VT, UVA, WVU, Pitt, Cincy
South:
Duke, UCF, UofL, SMU, Houston
Central:
OK State, Kansas, KSU, ISU, Colorado
I think you get where I’m going.
USN rankings.
#33 GT
#53 FSU (ahead of Michigan State, Miami, Rutgers, Illinois, etc)
#86 Clemson
This isn’t about academics anymore.

But my point was, the Big10 claims academic superiority. You can't do that with Clemson and FSU slumming it up.
