Who will be the 12th ACC School ? ?

guess again.

with the no. 1 recruiting class in the country, you're going DOWN.

 

miami is a very good baseball club, too.

plus strong in tennis and golf.

the acc is much stronger with these two.

the 12th team is a given -- it will happen.

 

yes 12 teams will happen. and it has to happen before 2005, but i bet the acc won't make anymore waves until the dust settles on this round of expansion. if miami accepts, i think they'll just chill out for a while. miami might decline though or they might say they'll only come with syracuse or something. who knows what's in donna and bill's heads down at miama?

2 teams that AINT comin': notre dame and south carolina

2 teams that won't be invited so they shouldn't waste their time asking: east carolina, central florida.

ucf is a commuter school pretty much. both ecu and ucf have a LONG way to go before having the type of facilities and the size of athletic departments it would take to compete in the acc.

some don't like vt joining the acc but i love it. i think they fit in w/the acc great. they might not have the bball or baseball or some other sports yet, but just being in the acc will improve vt's athletic department greatly. think about all the athletes in virginia that will now give vt a look that previously wouldn't give them a second look because there is no baseball in the big east...and as for bball, no virginia kid grows up wanting to play big east bball. being in the acc will be huge for vt bball. give them a few years and they'll be decent i think.

Are you kidding me??? No one in NC has a Strength and conditioning building like this:

 

Our stadium seats 43000+, and we also tend to fill it. Which is more than I can say for Wake, UNC or Duke.

 

our Basketball arena was just new renovated. Though this is not a strong sport for ECU, but they are getting better....slowly. Hey they did beat a final four team last year!

 

this is the new proposed baseball stadium. Our baseball team has made it to post season play for the last five years straight, and 12 out of the last 20.

 

However, I don't think we have a chance in hell of going into the ACC. Their athletics are not the reason why! I think the fact that there are already 4 other NC teams in it now, no one would want a 5th.

 

"Our stadium seats 43000+, and we also tend to fill it." <----woah baby 43k holy sh*t dude!!!

freak, i would LOVE to see ecu in the acc but it ain't gonna happen...like you say, the other schools would smartly vote it down. ecu just wouldn't bring anything to the acc.

 

Hey I know it ain't SEC caliber, but hey for the simple fact we weren't a Division 1 school till the late 70- early 80's that ain't too bad. Hey the three schools I mentioned have even less, and their opponents normally fill more of the stand than they do.
