My question is why does the ACC need to do this?

Does it absolutely need to do it? No.

But in case you didn't notice, since about the third post onward, this thread turned into an ACC expansion thread.

Since I don't see ND coming fully on board, since I don't see PSU/MD leaving the BiG to join/rejoin the ACC, I gave my opinion as to what expansion should look like based upon those assumptions.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion Neil and I do appreciate that you have a realistic outlook when it comes to expansion (i.e. no ND, PSU, MD, etc). The thinking behind my question was based on your assumptions as well. IF the ACC can't land MD, PSU, Notre Dame, etc, then is expansion really worth it? Should the ACC bite the bullet and expand if it doesn't really need to or if it can't land a truly big name program?
