I had previously said, along with many others, that Cincy is the most likely 16th assuming no P5 team is available. However, let's consider a few points. I would also assume that the ACCN does come to fruition if ND is all in (probably a safe bet).

1. ND being all in changes the game. The 16th is of much less consequence given the gravity of ND joining.
2. The 16th should still be selected in terms of what they give the ACC that they don't already have: TV market/ACCN, recruiting territory, football prowess, basketball prowess.

UConn brings good basketball, but we already have basketball in spades. Football is dreadful and most likely always will be. There are very little recruits coming from that area. We already have a foothold in that TV market with Syracuse and ND.

Cincy brings decent football and basketball. It is also a good recruiting area. However, I would argue that Ohio is OSU territory and always will be. Adding Cincy will not put the ACC into Ohio any further than ND and Louisville already do for us.

Drum roll...

Houston: Large university with decent football with a much higher ceiling than the other options. New recruiting territory and TV markets for the ACCN. Also another possible ACC - SEC rivalry with aTm. Travel concerns are mitigated by 2 very large airports in Houston. It also further marginalizes the Big12.

Is it a dumb idea? Maybe, but this is a message board 03-wink

I don't think Houston is a bad idea at all. Even if it was, posting dumb ideas is one of my favorite past times around here... 03-wink

I think the Big 12, though, is going to implode sooner than later. The ACC should get a shot at Texas or at least a couple of the other TX schools.
