ACC vs. SEC
Feb 3, 2020, 9:48 AM

I've been having a conversation with my brother-in-law about the difference between ACC vs. SEC - sports (not just football), academics, fanbases, etc. With the SEC's "It just means more" campaign, what would the ACC say to combat that? What would get under their skin?

The ACC does more with less than any other conference. ACC has 6 private schools whereas the next most private schools by conference is 3 i think. Also just looking at mere size, NC State is the ACC's largest school with 33000 students, that would put them tied for 7th in enrollment in the SEC. This means smaller alumni bases and higher academic standards (disqualifying many athletes) meaning less money given back to the schools through giving. Yet the ACC is still competitive in most sports with most of the SEC, atleast at the mid level. Clemson is just in a whole other stratusphere when it comes to football at least.

I think this is a great point. One thing I thought about, the fandom for football in the SEC is obviously crazy, especially compared to most ACC schools (Clemson not included). If you go there, though, as a student or athlete, you're kind of putting your eggs in the football basket. If you don't have the football, though, or that gets taken away, being a part of an ACC school still offers so much. Top-tier educations for the most part, diverse networks, etc. Life goes on in the ACC without sports, yet the ACC still excels there.
