The ACC is kinda different and the roots run really deep.  But adding teams this far away is not a good thing.  I really hope it doesn’t happen.  

It will only be for basketball and football. It would bankrupt the women’s teams traveling across the country like that multiple times. 
 

but yeah man that’s where we are now. Stanford and Cal get California west coast market and SMU gets the ACC in to Texas. I’d like to see them add Cincy and UConn.

I don't think the people running the conference care about the roots or history though. They've made a lot of decisions the last few years that are just about chasing money like moving the tournament to NYC.

It’s about that money. It’s always about getting their hands on as much of it as possible. The SEC or Big Ten would put a team in Cambodia if it would increase their revenue.

Half of the conference wants out. 

There are no roots left. The ACC was a basketball conference. They expanded for football. But then Miami and VT fell off a cliff so it didn't become the football powerhouse they planned. Now they're just in a desperate fight for survival.

    • Yeah. As a wild card team. Washington won the division at 10-6.
    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
