This is a pretty good article on the subject: recruiting.theinsiders.com Expansion was all about the football contract of 2005. They never thought they could get Miami and Virginia Tech so they went about trying to get TV markets. To gauge the importance of TV markets, go to the SEC and see how their contracts to markets ratio stack against the Big East. With Virginia Tech and Miami, the ACC becomes the best football conference in the nation. With six teams in the Athlon's preseason Top 25, the ACC is tied for the most with SEC, but with the highest average rank. Not bad when discussing TV deals. The extra team leaves room for Notre Dame or a basketball school to enter for the '06 or '07 basketball TV deal. If The Irish say no, then Kentucky is the next head on the ACC chopping block. Although three years of courtship could help, it all depends on Notre Dame?s own TV deal with NBC and how well its football team performs.
