Will the Atlantic Coast Conference be left behind if expansion efforts by the Big Ten are successful? And let's not forget about the Southeastern Conference either. The South is expected to rise again -- in a hurry, too -- if the Big Ten makes a move, as predicted, to 14 or 16 teams. The ACC was once an aggressor in this area, expanding to 12 teams earlier this decade in an attempt to strengthen its status as a major player, and not an afterthought, in football. Miami, Virginia Tech and Boston College switched allegiances from the Big East to the ACC. ACC commissioner John Swofford told the media Monday during the league's spring meetings that the ACC will have a plan in place should conference expansion once again bulldoze the college landscape. http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2010/05/10/acc-commish-swofford-believes-conference-is-solid-as-12/
