The ACC supposedly voted on WVU last time around and they didn't have the votes (supposedly the Carolina block all voted against them) and probably never will. WVU and Notre Dame don't particularly have any type of relationship, so I'm sure we aren't a team that they would choose to come along for 16 and I don't think we'd be interested with the direction we are moving in (Texas-centric coaching staffs and administrators).

But that does raise a very good point, that is if Notre Dame said "we aren't going to join unless you go to 16" Swofford no doubt would put out an open invitation to every BCS and FBS school on the eastern seabord.
