Another thing... If we went to 16 teams we could not be split into 2 divisions. It would have to be 4 "pods"
Cincinnati. Best option.
Maybe a Texas team if they are willing, such as a TCU, SMU or Houston.
West Virginia has terrible academics, but is a good option athletically.
Maryland was ideal. It was lunacy on their part to leave.
Illinois matches up well with the ACC but am not sure they would be willing to leave their conference. Nortwhestern would also be perfect if the continue to improve their football team.

That ACC North looks pretty weak.Add Notre Dame as a full member.
Then add the University of Cincinnati as the 16th member.
ACC North
Notre Dame
Cincinnati
Syracuse
Boston College
Pitt
Louisville
UVA
VT
ACC South
G Tech
Clemson
Miami
FSU
Wake
NC State
UNC
Duke
9 conference games per year.
Division winners play for the conference title.
Either WV and UCF, UCF and USF or USF and WV. Motherfcuk nd.1. Do you think this is even possible?
2. What 2 teams would you have join? Do you force Notre Dame into being a full time member. Or do you tell Notre Dame to take the rest of your teams and **** off and bring in 2 other teams as full members?
3. What 2 teams would you bring in to make it 16?
What about a championship game? Just 1 vs 2 or scrap it all together?Notre Dame and Navy.
UCF is probably a popular initial idea but I have zero interest in elevating their athletics in-state and they're not a great overall match academically.
I also eliminate the divisions within the conference too.
With the ACC Network coming in this is all about adding schools that expand your subscriber footprint. If we were going to expand the logical first calls are Texas, Oklahoma and West Virginia in my opinion.

They do fit the bill. My hesitation with WVU stems from our Big East days and attending a game in that sh1thole Morgantown. They make LSU and Miami fans look like a wine and cheese crowd. By far some of the most inbred toothless white trash in existence. I remember when Ferguson (sp) our tailback tore his acl there and the fans prevented the ambulance from taking him to the hospital. They where actually rocking it trying to tip it with him inside. Then the couch burning, spitting, beer can throwing. That whole state can’t die out from their Heroin epidemic fast enough.What about WVU? They are a Top 25 Overall Athletic Program. They are in a Top 15 in Merchandise. Fit right into the footprint. Long time rivals of Syracuse, Pitt, and VT. And have huge alumni representation in DC, Charlotte, Baltimore, and Pittsburgh. And they only compete for TV set in their state with Marshall.
