Per the article:

Big East commissioner [URL='https://awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/big-east-commissioner-acc-merger.html']Val Ackerman talked about the proposal[/URL] during an appearance on [URL='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/big-east-hoop-dreams/id1762692129?i=1000695229873']John Ourand’s [I]The Varsity[/I] podcast[/URL], saying there have been some “conversations” about the future of both conferences.

“There’s been some conversations about what we could all be doing together, again, not only to secure our own futures, but to make sure that college basketball stays strong and relevant as football interests continue to dominate much of the headlines and much of the bandwidth of the leagues that we consider peer conferences,” Ackerman told Ourand."

So how far up have those talks gone? Does that mean that she has had talks with the ACC Commissioner, Jim Phillips?

Also, what happens with UConn football? I would hate for the ACC to get our basketball program without our football program. But we would have no choice but to go along with it.
