I don't know. They had better hurry up and add USF to the mix to maintain that advantage. Go Bulls!

Only reason I give a darn is the slight, tiny, miniscule, unfounded, highly unlikely chance that USF could replace FSU in the ACC... the epic upgrade in opponents, bowls, and association would be enough of a boost for USF that it is worth sipping just a little Kool-Aid in hopes that the meteoric rise of USF football could continue in overall terms.

I would not consider it an epic upgrade in the quality of opponents. It's a wash, or the Big East is currently better, especially if you take out FSU and maybe Clemson.

It is an upgrade in prestige, and perceived upgrade of conference. Mostly, we'd probably get more money though not a lot more.

Lets say FSU, Clemson, UL and Miami to Big 12

Then VT and NC State to SEC

What happens to BE / ACC?

You can easily argue that on the field that a few of the newcomers coupled with a few of the leftovers can hold their own against a majority of the teams in the other major conferences. Certainly, I don't feel the ACC should be considered in the same league of difficulty and prestige as a few of the other major conferences (though the national media seems to like referring to it like it is when comparing it to the BE), but if we were playing VaTech, Miami, Clemson, Georgia Tech, etc year in and year out, I think the national perception would be that our opponents are upgraded compared with our current digs. You're right, facilities, tradition, fan base size, etc shouldn't objectively cause the ACC teams to be considered better on the field. I'm just working with the reality of perception here. And I think that in that reality, USF in the ACC would be considered to have upgraded opponents despite the recent successes of its leftover and incoming members.

That scenario could never happen.... VTech can't split from Virginia and likewise, NCSU will never go anywhere without UNC, Wake and Duke.

If USF wins the Big East including beat FSU, SU, and Pitt, ACC will consider us.

All these moves, at this point in time, have very little to do with on the field accomplishments ...

So much for all those "unfounded rumors". Eat this McMurphy.

Not to defend the BM but it looks like the rumors were unfounded .... until the Warchant interview with Haggard.

    “In my mind, I’m kind of like, ‘OK, excuses over'. We know what we need to do. We’ve got the right team together, and now we move forward, and we’ll evaluate and be accountable to each other, including myself, from this point forward.”

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."

    Terry Lucas, 09/26/22
