It makes so much sense it won't happen because the ACC brass is clueless when it comes to football.


West Virginia's academics could be fairly described as Junior College-esk. This will turn off Presidents who want to be seen in lofty academic peer groups. It will also be an issue any time there is a superstar in FB or MBB that can't make the ACC minimums but can make the NCAA minimums. WVU will take them eagerly. You going to mandate the ACC minimums become the WVU minimums? You going to give them an exemption to minimums for players in state and from a neighboring state? If you don't that might cause a problem in non-revenue sports which typically get homegrown talent even at the P5 level. Some of the teams in the conference will never want to play them: UVA, GT, UNC, Duke. ALL of the teams in the conference will have an issue for what passes as acceptable fan behavior in Morgantown.

Fan behavior is definitely non-negotiable. Some say it's gotten better, IDK.

I went to the WVU vs NCSU in Morgantown last Sept. I had heard all the negative things about their fan base but I was completely blown away by their civility and hospitality. It was just one game....and WVU won....but before the game it felt like Clemson. "Thanks for coming" "Need a beer?" "Everyone being nice?" "Want some food" is all I heard. I hung out with several Eers and was really impressed.

They have a nice little downtown bar scene and a funny little monorail system to get to the stadium.

Again...one game....but just saying.
