除了周日的两分钟演习，P&C记者Travis Sawchick的Tiger Tracks博客文章提供了我们最近关于ACC和会议调整的对话更广泛的账户。这篇博文更具推测性，也许因此更有趣。在讨论的要点中:我认为14个团队的会议是更稳定的12个和16个成员配置之间笨拙的过渡，圣母大学和ACC(不像一些人认为的那样令人惊讶的匹配)，以及ACC与“价值股票”的类比。The latter derives from an increase in the relative importance of football, coupled with under-performing ACC football teams, some who were consistently in the thick of the national championship conversation a decade ago. Since football fortunes are cyclical, schools with a long run perspective might not have the itchy trigger fingers of their fan base and some parts of the media. But the flip side of the value-stock analogy is that these stocks are also associated with higher bankruptcy risk. The ACC has a lot of work to do, and it will be interesting to see how things develop.
