What I'm saying is that you have the ACC at 15 right now, which is true except for football. That was a one year deal with ND because of covid. So adding just WVU would give us an odd number of teams.
And ND will never join the B1G. They're an old BIG East school with all the subway alumni in the northeast and mid-atlantic. They recruit nationally. Joining the B1G would regionalize them because they lose there footprint in the south. Not to mention they're a small private catholic school, so they share nothing in common with the B1G schools.
