Who will be the 12th ACC School ? ?

This is going to sound crazy, but what about Memphis ? ? ? ? Its a good sized TV market and it would get them into the state of TN for the first time . . . Only bad thing is they are kinda out of the way from the rest of the conference schools and they are in the Central Time Zone . . . Their football program is decent and their hoops program would fianlly have to play with the big boys (show that you are big time or shut up !!!!!)

That sounds too crazy.

Putt says UConn, and until Putt is proven wrong, I'm going with what he says.

That was under the assumption the ACC was going to go up to 14 teams (UConn, VT, Syracuse, BC) . . . Now that's changed, is UConn still going to get in? I'm not sure about that . . . The ACC wants to stay with its Southern Roots bringing in VT & Miami now . . .

How about the Gardner Webb University Bulldogs in lovely Boiling Springs NC?

Nope, Putt told me Friday that UConn would be the 12th team. And that was before this announcement. Putt knows what he's talking about.

seems to be the only one that fits...basketball is good, but football sux

I remember what Putt said also . . . I'm just saying why would UConn join a league where the other 11 teams are in the South? It would be a reverse of why Miami is joining the ACC now; They want to reduce their travel costs . . .


Lee Corso just said on FNZ's PRIMETIME that Pittsburgh S-H-O-U-L-D be the 12th ACC team . . They would get a foothold in the Pittsburgh TV market and open up the door to recruiting in Pennsylvania . .

WVa, Pitt, Marshall would all be better than UConn or BC. Syracuse would be interesting as well.

The ACC has no ties to keep southern-only teams. You're thinking of the SEC.
