Re: UConn does not have a lot to offer besides academics

Looks like you didn't put much thought into this. First, UConn would get you the 30th ranked DMA in Hartford. It also gets you Fairfield County which is the affluent southwest portion of CT that is part of the NY DMA. UConn gets high TV ratings in state because they do not compete with any pro franchises. Contrast that to BC who doesn't even deliver the Boston market, from a fan perspective, never mind all of New England. In terms of fan support, they are well behind the red Sox, Celtics, Bruins and Patriots. Cincy is a good program, but their drawback is they are a distant 2nd fiddle in their own state behind OSU. Navy doesn't deliver any specific market, so depending on the distribution model, they may or may not add much value.

UConn adds more than academics. -- HOO86 05/18/2016 4:26PM

A big (major?) problem with UConn's football program -- VTHokie2000 05/19/2016 11:54AM

NCAA Tournament payouts would not make up for UConn's football -- Roanokie 05/18/2016 11:10AM

ACC should stand pat and see if B12 starts to break apart, -- wwhokie1 05/18/2016 09:07AM

If UConn was worth it, they would already be in the BIG or B12 -- Mr. Touchdown 05/17/2016 5:59PM

UConn will end up somewhere in a power 4 / 5 conf -- marcbvtgm 05/17/2016 10:55PM

I think the ACC needs to stand pat for awhile. UConn -- goldendomer 05/17/2016 5:32PM

That scenario would be great, but requires ND to join. -- HOO86 05/17/2016 5:26PM

No. The ACC does not need another partial and does -- hokie4ever 05/17/2016 8:10PM

I think the league needs to get to 16. -- HOO86 05/18/2016 01:18AM

ACC didn't learn anything from the train wreck Big East. -- Maroon Doom 05/17/2016 10:08PM

Would the ACC be better off if they had cut that deal with the B12? -- Mr. Touchdown 05/20/2016 09:28AM

That twinge is pride effing with you -- Colonel Jessup 05/18/2016 08:11AM

I hated the deal at first, but have come to accept it. Its good for ACC. -- wwhokie1 05/18/2016 12:47PM

Not its preference, but would have taken a partial Big 12 spot -- TerryD 05/18/2016 07:47AM

Yep. Don't fool yourselves thinking gaining access to east & SE states... -- EDGEMAN 05/18/2016 08:28AM
