I actually like the idea. Even if it's a longshot, worth a try.

They would neeeeeeever do it. Way too much $$$ involved.

Also...Harvard player academic scandal is huge news. That's ugly.

I think they would do it to put a Final Four in New York, LA or Chicago.

Notre Dame to the ACC.

Not much of a big deal from a basketball prospective(they can't be worse than the additions of BC & MIA in basketball) but still news worth talking about.

But then you're losing around 30,000 in seats alone. They can expand the regionals to those markets but I can't see them giving up that much for Final Fours.

Myles Davis - Xavier
Sam Cassell, Jr. - Maryland


Both ruled in eligible because their prep school was on the NCAA Watchlist.

Another Positive about ND joining the ACC is that we will be going back to 2 protected rivals, so now we can continue our yearly sweep of NC State .

Wonder who MD's 2nd rival will be, I imagine Duke will be one but who will be the 2nd?

Easy for you to say when you're team is one of the better ones in the conference.

ND coming, along with Cuse and Pitt coming as well makes things more difficult for my Terps as far as winning the ACC goes.

Not surprised about ET Jr. Hopefully we can get Wells to play this year and not sit out but knowing the NCAA, I doubt he'll be playing this year as well.
