Interesting article on the impact of expansion

See this article. It actually mentions GaTech and the domino that could lead it to join the SEC (if they booted Vandy). There may be some hard-core alums who would welcome this idea, but I am not one of them. The ACC stands for prestige, acedemics AND strong athletics. People want to say "we are more like an SEC school". That's BS - maybe Clemson, but not Tech. The SEC is marred by recruiting violations and scandals, and these are only the ones that are caught. The only "scandal" we had this year was losing 10 players to acedemic problems BECAUSE WE DO HAVE STANDARDS. I for one appreciate what the ACC stands for and would hate to leave.
