Miami was a choice for football history but has turned into an epic failure.
The ACC would have been smart to add WVU, Pitt, and VT. Those three would have created rivalries.
Could have had WV, Pitt, Maryland, vt, UVA, and Clemson in one division.
Duke, UNC, state, wake, gt, and FSU in the other.
Maryland would have gotten 2 geographical rivals that would travel well and the nc schools could stay together. The moment the 4 nc schools stopped playing home and homes is the minute the conference nose dived. If the conference wants to go back to its roots it will reshuffle the divisions so the the 4 nc schools can play home and home again.
I hope to see
Syracuse, BC, Pitt, ND, Louisville, UVA, Maryland and VT big east division
4 NC schools, Clemson, GT, miami, and FSU in ACC division
Just replace Maryland with someone when they find the right school.
