Yeah, Miami is a small private college that just happens to be located in the best possible location in the USA for attracting recruits. They don't travel well because their alumni base is small to begin with. But the key selling point for Miami to the ACC are TV ratings and BCS money. I've read before that Miami spends so much money on football that just to break even they have to get to a BCS bowl every other year to break even. That's the money the ACC schools want to "share." 13 teams in the ACC would be bad for logistics. Two 6 team divisions with a championship game at the end is the ideal right now. The best solution of all is for the basketball-heavy schools of both conferences to break off and form their own league and let the football schools have their own league. Basketball-heavy schools like Wake, Duke, Temple, Rutgers, and one more should break off to join Gtown, St. Johns, Providence et al to form their own league, leaving: Miami West Virginia Pittsburgh Virginia Tech Boston College Syracuse Maryland N.C. State Georgia Tech North Carolina Virginia Clemson Florida State minus 1 of the above for a real football conference. But that would make too much sense, and the basketball-heavy schools of both leagues have enough veto power to keep this from happening.
