Football is king. You can have your basketball conference (for now).
Virginia Tech adds NOTHING in football to the ACC. They haven't even been .500 in the Big East the last two seasons.
The Big East is the best conference for football and basketball. Next year the Big East is going to be the best basketball conference in the history of college sports.
AND
They will be just as good as the ACC in football in a few years. South Florida has been putting together some dominant recruiting classes the last couple of years and will be the next Miami.
UConn will dwarf Boston College shortly. BC will die in the ACC. They have to travel 1,000 miles for EVERY road game. I don't think they'll stay long.
West Virginia has completely replaced Virginia Tech as one of the top teams in the nation, and the Mountaineers will be in a BCS bowl next season.
