I'm looking at UConn delivering Connecticut more than NYC.


Whatever they deliver in NYC is extra. We would need them to deliver the 3.5 million person market of Connecticut for our Channel. And just as important keep them from delivering that market to the Big XII or B1G.

I know that effect. I had never watched so many Big XII games in my life until WVU was there. Now every game with WVU gets them on the televisions around all the establishments in Richmond.

It gets back to the question of whether the ACC wants to be the college conference for New England. We are already sharing it with the Boston professional sports teams. Do we also want to share it with another P5 further diluting interest in the ACC?

There are 10 million people between Massachusetts and Connecticut. They have the New England Patriots, Boston Celtics, Boston Red Sox, and Boston Bruins.

There are 10 million people in North Carolina. They have the Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Hornets, and Carolina Hurricanes. To me it is very similar. We the ACC have 4 teams in North Carolina and only 1 in New England.
