VT and Miami in 11 school ACC, what kind of unfathomable idiocy is that? Turn it down. That's the absolute worst thing that could possibly happen because it completely destroys the Big East, and Syracuse and/or BC has no choice but to immediately join Big East lawsuit for hundreds of millions against ACC, then join Big 10. That completely eliminates any chance of ACC expanding into northern market and tripling the TV region, exposure, and revenue, forever. Even adding SU, BC, UM, would have lost money for ACC, this would lose millions per school, with no way to ever make more.
11 schools satisfies nobody and has to be a sick joke. Miami and everyone in ACC wants both Syracuse and BC, not Blacksburg. Miami's applicants and alumni are in the northeast, say bye bye to all its exposure, applicants, and donations. Why the heck would VT want to lose in football to Miami, FSU, UMD, and others when it could dominate a Big East without Miami? I expect Big East 7 will just say ND is part of its BCS contenders every year in order to keep its BCS bid. Miami leaving is great for VT, I'm sure they hope it happens before next fball season when they want to contend for a national title.
This is the only solution that satisfies everyone and helps ALL schools and leagues:
New 10 school elite Atlantic League, doubles or triples exposure and revenue, best of the best: Syracuse, BC, Miami, Penn State, UMD, UVA, Duke, UNC, GT, FSU
New 12 school allsports BCS Big East: north: Uconn, Pitt, Rutgers, WVU, Marshall, Cinci; south: VT, NCSU, Wake, Clemson, Louisville, Memphis
New 10 school Catholic basketball league: Gtown, Villanova, Seton Hall, St. Johns, Providence, ND, Depaul, Marquette, Xavier, St. Louis
