Wait. Our AD has ACC connections? 

Am I doing this right?

Hopefully we spellcheck the presentation this time.

I like FAU.  When we played them first time down at what looked like a high school field, their fans were great!  Invited my wife and I to tailgate with them and who couldn't like Schnelly?  There's only one fanbase that I loathe and that is purely due to their actions.  And we don't have anything to do with them anymore as far as football.  The others are just teams we play.

Miami might not like it, but just as we didn't like the additions of UCF and FAU ultimately we did what was best for the league. If a a strong majority of remaining ACC teams believe its in their best interest to add us, they will add us.

Besides I do believe Miami is one of those teams that will ultimately leave the ACC.

We're the only university dumb enough to elevate an in state school, and we've done it twice. Miami will fiercely oppose us.

Given TV contracts I’m genuinely curious does USF add anything to a conference which has Miami already? In other words, will Miami already get to “count” all of FL for the ACC?

if this is the case, it seems like SDSU and USFs of the world might drop below UConn etc if the institutions in FL/CA already cover what those schools would bring.

 

maybe we need to hope for the ACC to lose its presence totally in FL, which is feasible with FSU to SEC and Miami to B1G.

Yes. Miami does not have much of a fanbase outside of South(ern) Florida... USF would allow the ACC to get viewers in the Central Middle Florida that UM does not attract.  (FSU currently covers those markets for the ACC).
