So they're the Pittsburgh Pirates.Notre Dame hasn't won anything in almost 30 years. They are a has been. Playing them isn't a big deal anymore.

plus they suck. öööö 'em.Notre Dame hasn't won anything in almost 30 years. They are a has been. Playing them isn't a big deal anymore.
Beating them still warms the heart and brightens the day.Notre Dame hasn't won anything in almost 30 years. They are a has been. Playing them isn't a big deal anymore.
Telling myself what? That Notre Dame is a mediocre program now and hasn't won anything worth mentioning in 30 years? We have a more recent NC than they do. We have bigger Bowl Wins in that time frame than they do. This isn't the 1980's and their NBC contract is no longer an advantage because just about any program is on tv every weekend now. The Notre Dame mystique is gone. You can keep living in the past but I won't.Keep telling yourself that
Have you seen the crowds they pull, dumbass? Who the öööö can we add to the ACC that is going to sellout BDS?Telling myself what?

Yep, and rich kids pay high class whores even though they didn't earn their money.They were in the national championship game this decade and they dictate to the conference we are currently in what they want to do, and the acc submits like a bitch.
Question: What other team gets the sweetheart 'half entrance' deal the ACC offered ND?Telling myself what?

plus soooo many hot girlsWith Notre Dame and Syracuse, the ACC would already control the NYC market. Brando is talking nonsense. If the ACC adds UConn, it's because they either don't understand the NYC media market, or they are making a move for basketball. Either way it would be a brand and revenue dilution - a very bad move.
UCF is the no-brainer move from an athletic perspective. Largest enrollment in the country. Perfect geographic fit in a state within the ACC footprint that will never stop growing long-term. Fills up the entire state of Florida with the ACC logo.
No they aren't GT or Duke or UNC academically but they are much improved. Despite their enormous enrollment, admission rates are going down and academic rankings are improving.
Must remember, this is a 100-year decision.
I agree with the above, but I'll add that most people point to Navy or UConn because they'd accept. More natural fits like Penn State or Michigan State probably wouldn't leave their current conference.With Notre Dame and Syracuse, the ACC would already control the NYC market.

UCF doesn't fit academically and I think you're over valuing their perception in Florida. Florida is basically split into FSU, UF, and Miami, with passing interest in USF, UCF, FAU. UCF is large, but it's the Georgia State of Florida.UCF is the no-brainer move from an athletic perspective. Largest enrollment in the country.

unfortunate but true. ucf is academically very similar to louisville.Nobody cares about academics. Time you learned that nobody cares. If anybody cared, UNC's sports programs would be suspended for at least a couple of years.
You misspelled "definitely". Also, Michigan State wouldn't add anything for the NYC market. Michigan would. But again, only incrementally. With Syracuse and ND, the NYC market is already ours, so move on.I agree with the above, but I'll add that most people point to Navy or UConn because they'd accept.

This decision can't be made based on academics with the ACC Network starting up. UCF has a far better athletic program than GA State - the two aren't remotely in the same league athletically.UCF doesn't fit academically and I think you're over valuing their perception in Florida.

That isn't even close to accurate.unfortunate but true. ucf is academically very similar to louisville.
Both are similarly ranked, and neither are good fits for the ACC. Louisville made promises they subsequently didn't keep. ACC presidents won't let that happen again.That isn't even close to accurate.
UCF has a 49% acceptance rate and average SAT scores of 1263.
Louisville has a 72% acceptance rate and an average SAT score of 1160.

My apologies to all of the hot girls at UCF. Sounds like theyre more like the UGA of Florida rather than the Ga State of Florida.That isn't even close to accurate.

I agree with your overall point but not many people in Florida care about Miami, even when they are winning.I agree with the above, but I'll add that most people point to Navy or UConn because they'd accept.
