The only potential issue I have with the ACC adding UConn

is whether UConn would be another BC/Duke/Wake or could it become another Louisville. Right now it plays in a 40K and I think has only sold it out for the Michigan game. If UConn joined the ACC, then could its fanbase grow quick enough in the next 20 years to justify expanding the stadium by 10K or even 20K? The current perception of ACC football is it doesn't have enough "football schools." If the ACC adds another "basketball school" that plays football, then that school will need to show the critics wrong that it can have a passionate football fanbase. Otherwise, ACC fans might a similar attitude as they do about BC, Pitt, Syracuse; good schools that don't really help improve the ACC's image in football (at least for the time being).

IMO UConn is an MUCH better fit for the ACC than the B12 -- BigCrumpy 09/02/2016 2:25PM

That would certainly make a lot more sense. lol ** -- cincyhokie 09/01/2016 1:06PM

On the surface it does appear that ECU doesn't have much to offer -- VTHokie2000 09/01/2016 12:45PM

Not just on the surface -- marcbvtgm 09/01/2016 2:41PM

Since UConn is still on the list, then I wonder if that means Temple -- VTHokie2000 08/31/2016 2:27PM

This is going to play out like The Weakest Link television show. -- HOO86 08/31/2016 8:37PM
