If the ACC accepts ND for all sports except football, we will look just as desperate as the BE/BEFC did when it first did the ND deal. Almost everyone, from the national pundits to the average VT fan, thought the BE/BEFC was desperate, and didn't have enough strength to either say no, or to hang tough and force an "all in" situation from ND.
