USC is not going to be an ACC member anytime soon. Too much bad blood (on both sides) and the ACC has nothing to gain from it. Besides, USC most likely couldn't meet the academic requirements of the SEC.

Also, even if USC made the jump to the ACC, I don't think GT would go the SEC. Tech broke from the SEC a long time ago and even though some of the old fans would like to see us rejoin, I don't see it happening anytime soon. Tech's academic atmosphere just doesn't mix with the SEC. Besides, last time GT tried to rejoin the SEC Ugag and Auburn blocked it.

ACC wants Notre Dame, no question about that. Not sure if it'll work out or not though. My guess is the ACC eventually picks up either BC or Syracuse or another Big East team. I really don't know though. ACC may end up persuading an SEC team to jump ship.

Side note, GT and Auburn play this year for the first time in a long time (I don't remember the exact year but its been awhile). I believe the story goes the series was dropped because of way too much bad blood between the schools, players, and especially the fans. You making the trip to Atlanta, Warrrreagle? Should be an interesting game
