Cemetery Hill

Great post. I really don't think the ACC had a choice on the 9 game schedule though. I think that when they added Pitt and 'Cuse, they (wrongly) expected a big bump in the contract simply from the additions. ESPN forced their hand and said if you want more money, we need more games. That is certainly directly related to not taking WVU.

Were Clemson and FSU interested in Texas and other Big 12 schools when they were in play? I would hope so. Imagine how the landscape would look if we had gone to 16 with Texas, OU, OSU and WVU...
