This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The ACC has never been overly concerned about an AQ bid by tf86

That has been unfortunate. If we're looking for a silver lining in the results of the NCAA selection committee, that could be it.

The problem the ACC faces is that it probably has to add two programs simultaneously. If only one program joins, it faces the likely prospect of cellar dwelling for the foreseeable future. Adding two programs at least gives those programs the opportunity to compete against each other to avoid the cellar.

From a Title IX perspective, I believe Georgia Tech might be the easiest ACC school to add men's lacrosse. If memory serves, Georgia Tech has 63% male enrollment.
