[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 132079991, member: 1476288"] In a few years, when the costs with leaving the ACC reduce for programs, ACC will be at serious risk of being decapitated. If BIG12 is aggressive after BigTen & SEC extract Clemson, FSU, Miami, UNC, then BIG12 could add a few regional rivals, like VTech & Louisville. That would give us 3 close rivals. A few big IF's there, but I would think its only a matter of time before a few of the top ACC programs bolt for higher revenues, leaving the ACC primed to be picked off. Id rather WVU remain where it is, which I believe is a superior position then if they joined the ACC in the next year or two. Cause if we did leave, and when the ACC is picked off, No Way would the BIG12 invite us back in. While I understand the benefit of rivals, I think we'll have a chance at getting a few more on the schedule if we are patient and allow a few cards to be dealt. [/QUOTE]
