Further ACC Expansion Candidates


Iight so I read a post on a different blog earlier on today and it asked the question of which two schools should the ACC look to add if they do decide to go to 16 teams. I think that everyone can pretty much agree (for the exception of Boston College) that Connecticut is a pretty obvious choice. The 16th team in my opinion is a little more interesting question. I have heard some people say they would like to see Notre Dame in the ACC (which I would absolutely hate BTW) and others consider Rutgers the automatic choice. I am not of that opinion at all. The school that I feel that is prime for picking (and it would mess over the Big East even more).........TEMPLE OWLS. If the ACC is serious about becoming the best basketball conference in the country again then they should really contemplate Temple really hard. Temple is a great academic institution, very solid basketball program and a football program that is building into a respectable program (They stomped Maryland in College Park so they cant possibly be as bad as they used to be when they were in the Big East for football). Let me know what other schools ya'll think the ACC should go after for the 16th school or both the 15th & 16th schools if you think Connecticut gets in
