Krzyzewski wouldn't mind if ACC grows to 16 teams

DURHAM, N.C. - Mike Krzyzewski supports the Atlantic Coast Conference's recent expansion to 14 teams - and wouldn't mind if the league keeps growing.

The Hall of Fame coach at Duke offered his opinions Wednesday during a wide-ranging press conference as part of his team's media day in which he discussed the changing faces of both his roster and the ACC.

"I think you have to continue to explore" expansion questions, Krzyzewski said. "Is 14 the right number? Will 16 be? I don't know if I'm in the minority, majority - I don't talk to anybody about this - but (it) seems to me that if you're going to go 14, then you should go 16."

I say no because we are not on the ACC radar and they will most likely poach another Big East team, leaving us with the bag of sh!t. Stay at 14.

if ACC moves to 16, so will the other conferences... namely the SEC.

ACC's top two choices are Notre Dame and UConn, or UConn and Rutgers.

the SEC is already considering poaching Clemson, and FSU has been on their radar for the past couple years since all this expansion stuff started again. they're currently at 13, add Mizzou, Clemson and FSU (the teams with most rumors of leaving) and SEC has 16.

that would leave the ACC needing to replace Clemson and FSU, and that's where we would come in.

our moving up really depends on two dominos falling: the scramble to 16 (just need one conference to pull that trigger first), and whether or not FSU is poached by the SEC.

Why would SEC feel obligated to go to 16 if the ACC did?  SEC feels far superior to other conf.  They aren't going to follow the ACC as if the ACC is a model for success unless they think it is in their best interest.  Would it be?  I could see them staying at 14 since no where does it seem eminent that 16 team mega conferences IS where where ware heading.  It may be, but the SEC will likely be the ones that lead that charge, if it even happens.

Of course we are.

If, and only if, FSU leaves.
