I don't understand the decision here... It makes no sense to go half way. If they are going to expand at all, they might as well go to 12... 11 just doesn't make any sense. Now I figure that Miami will decide not to come because their friends (Syracuse and BC) were snubbed and all the ACC gets is VT. So VT is better than most of the ACC in Football, they add little else and complicate the round robin basketball format. How can Duke-UNC only play once a season? Or UNC-State? Or Duke-MD? for that matter.... it's almost sacrilegious.

If the ACC doesn't get Miami, how does adding VT help with revenue? Adding a small market, lower top-20 football school will increase the television ratings how? They certainly won't make up for it with BBall.

Grr. (My note isn't well thought out, I know, but man this expansion option seems like the dumbest of the lot!)
