Even if UConn took BC's place in the ACC, their football


program would probably finish near the bottom most years and once in a blue moon finish somewhere in the middle of the pack. The problem with UConn is UConn benefits more by being in the ACC than the ACC schools would benefit by having UConn in the ACC. The New England region isn't a recruiting hotbed for football, so nothing is really gained by playing a conference game @ UConn which plays in East Hartford (not on campus in Storrs). People claim that UConn would deliver the ACC the NYC market. If that was true, then why did the Big Ten pass on UConn? It sounds more like people are trying to repackage the "BC will deliver the Boston market" justification to me. If the ACC is going to add more members, then these new members should be mutually beneficial to existing members too.
