But I don't find casting our lot with the B1G versus the ACC as ideal, because we don't fit into either very well.

In the B1G, geographically it makes sense, but academically we'd stick out like a sore thumb as a private Catholic University. In the ACC, there are more private schools (Duke, Wake, Miami, BC, but they are in the minority to the larger state schools, and we're still 300 miles from Louisville and 400 miles from Pitt, the two closest schools).
