BC is one of four ACC programs with more than a $100M valuation, joining Virginia ($146.3M), N.C. State ($143.0) and North Carolina ($99.8M). The rest: Maryland ($96.0M), Syracuse ($91.4M), Louisville ($75.4M), Duke ($62.0M) and Pittsburgh ($59.6M).

But Syracuse does have 1,000-yard rusher Jerome Smith returning, along with linebackers Marquis Spruill and Dyshawn Davis. Many questions must be answered before 2013 begins.
