[QUOTE="SilverSpringWVU, post: 129615817, member: 1053273"] I don't think anyone really knows what is going to happen. Someone posted below that the ACC's new deal states that both ESPN and FOX won't expand with ACC schools. I have no idea if that is true or not. If true then Oklahoma and Texas will decide if expansion happens or not. If they stay in the Big 12 then I don't see expansion happening for a long time. I really don't see why Fox would make those promises since they have no TV deal at all with the ACC. I'm also not sold on this ACC network. The PAC 10 network is not working. Too many ACC schools just don't seem to support their school let alone watch a network. Truthfully there needs to be just four conferences broken into 8 divisions. 20 teams makes the most sense. That is my favorite thing about the Big 12. 9 conference games and three out of conference games. You get to play everyone. 20 teams broken down into two 10 team divisions each. A championship game gives you a true final 4 at the end of the year. No need for an 8 team playoff. If WVU was invited to the ACC I would be thankful that we would hopefully find some stability.I won't hold my breath for WVU getting into the ACC and like another poster said unless we were playing FSU, Clemson or Va. Tech every year there is a major drop off. Not necessarily with the quality of team on the field but the atmosphere at the games. That is what makes the SEC the SEC. [/QUOTE]
