Message: [QUOTE="Ldandy, post: 5040191, member: 4584"] I would say that USF is best positioned to be the school chosen to replace FSU. New stadium on the horizon, decent TV market, AAU Membership, and it keeps a second presence in Florida for recruiting purposes. UConn would be my next pick, but for different reasons. If I’m The ACC I’d be leaning into the conference’s strength by adding the top basketball program in America. I’d also be adding a school that allows me to sell rivalry against currently floundering programs like Cuse, Pitt, and BC as well as nurturing new ones with UNC, Duke, and UVA building out from basketball. Nobody cares about watching BC play WF in basketball or Syracuse play Virginia in football. They really aren’t going to give a damn about watching Cal play GT, or SMU play Louisville. Viewers might care about seeing current members play UConn because there is a genuine dislike between a number of schools. [/QUOTE]
