Va Tech always wanted in the ACC. ACC barely claims NC STATE and didn't want to sully its hands with a school like Tech. Tech was not an original invitee of the ACC and wormed their way into the conference with some political pressure; however, they have cemented themselves into a mega conference and I think the ACC has actually been happy with ending up with them.
UCONN and RUTGERS may eventually join the ACC after Pitt and Syracuse. The ACC will eventually need 16 schools to become one of the four mega conferences (The SEC, PAC, BIG 10, and ACC).
I think the ACC is turning up their nose to WV for some reason although it seems to be a better geographic fit for them. WV may actually go to the SEC, but it would seem insane for any mega conference not to invite them when they have such a good football and basketball program. West Virginia fans will travel as well, but WV seems to have a rivalry with lots of school in the ACC-Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Maryland. It would have been the best fit.
I don't like all these mega conferences but that's the way its going.I guess there are more important things to be concerned about.
