Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2140630, member: 1414"] This is among the more ridiculous, uninformed posts I've seen on the CR board, and that is saying a lot. The B1G would take UConn hockey in a heartbeat. I think your view on what the ACC wants is equally uninformed. UConn has support among a number of ACC schools, and the ACCs recent football success means they don't have to focus on football. It's more about what ESPN needs for that new digital network it funded, and that is all about content that doesn't run on the main channels, and about subscribers and markets. The ACC is in a different place once that launches. We know the BTN would see UConn women's hoops as a huge moneymaker, and that the B1G already declared UConn football a P5 team for scheduling purposes. Everything now is a play between the various networks. The Big XII expansion fell apart mostly because ESPN chose the ACC. [/QUOTE]
