Why would we want an ACC without FSU and Clemson?  Thats no bueno for football.  Basketball might see an uptick. Maybe?

Hmmm...let's do a quick review:

ACC w/o Tigers & Noles Fully Loaded AAC Louisville Charlotte NC State East Carolina Syracuse Florida Atlantic Wake Forest Memphis Boston College Navy North Carolina North Texas Duke Rice Pitt South Florida Georgia Tech SMU Miami Temple Virginia Tulane Virginia Tech Tulsa Fantasy Participant: UAB South Florida UTSA

 

Why would WE want an ACC without Clemson & FSU? Let's give that some thought. I suppose it's no bueno for football, considering the phenomenal success USF has had as of late, and how associating with the likes of UNC, Miami, NCSU & VaTech would diminish the value of our product immensely. Yep, we're light years better off duking it out with Rice, UAB and Charlotte. And adding our historically losing-record basketball team to the ACC would really add some quality games to Carolina & L'ville's schedules. Indeed, we need to distance ourselves from the ACC as best we can if it doesn't include Clemson & FSU. After all, we're 1-and-oh against Clemson (13 years ago) and we're 1-3 against the Noles, so we do have some catching up to do. And if we're not in the same conference as them, shucks, they might never schedule us again! 

We WANT whatever we can get.

Gun to my head I guess I pick the left one but just because it has teams that I’ve heard of before, that have National appeal, National championships and money.

WE got one fbs win in the last three years. Nothing is going to be easy for USF until we get several consistent years of good coaching.

Better conference than the AAC. Better name brand recognition with opponents. Better money. Even a better regional conference for us. Maybe even the idea that stepping up the competition in basketball leads us to better results there (better players want to play in the limelight of the better basketball conference). There are many reasons for going to the ACC with or without FSU and Clemson. Literally the only argument for staying in the AAC would be @Bull Awakening's thinking that we have a cake walk to the playoff (assuming we start winning again) in this weaker conference.

The P5 giveth and the P5 taketh away. The G5 will be given the hardest draw for a few years, get blown out and then have the spot ripped away from them because there is more money to be had by having every spot then tossing an unnecessary bone that has only downside to them with no obvious upside.
