Why? If I were the ACC, these are the three I'd take. Which brings in more viewers and money, the Boston/Providence tv market, or Roanoke's? Buffalo/Rochester/Syracuse/Albany/New York City's, or Roanoke's? Miami/W. Palm/Orlando/Jacksonville's, or Roanoke's?

V. Tech loses on all 3 comparisons, same for other sports except football. Now at least the ACC can claim they are at the same level as the Big 12, SEC, and Pac 10, without getting laughed at. I think it is good for both the ACC and college football, especially if the NCAA would get some guts and yank the Big East's auto BCS bid and make it another wildcard(of course the whole lack of a playoff is a crime against humanity, but I digress...)

It'll be awhile before I pick myself up off the floor.

We don't CARE about the money, at least the fans don't; we were big basketball before basketball was big.

And I don't want the damn Big East in my conference.
