Analyzing Which Schools Could End Up Joining the ACC?

Late to the party are yee...but yes...we have fully developed the topic of the football driven nature of recent CR...ad nauseum.

But things are not static...cable boxes were important, they may not be in the future. Football has driven the media contracts, but they didn't always do so.

What will always be desired are match ups in basketball and football that people will pay to watch, or advertisers will pay to advertise.

Uconn-Duke, UConn-UNC, UConn-Cuse, UConn-Ohio State, UConn-Michigan, UConn-Notre Dame...all would be example of high value match ups.

Sure some BE match ups might draw eyeballs too...but I am not sure that it would be on the same scale.

UConn will be the next P5 add from the east...period.

The difference between UConn and JMU is that UConn has had elite basketball....and also IMHO has more potential in football.

Folks down here (I am in my North Carolina mountain place) would laugh at any comparison between JMU and UConn....

Tarheels, Dukies...they all respect UConn's program...as do all ACC basketball programs.

Thanks, BB for bringing some clarity and truth to the discussion. BTW, you should know that JMU is affectionately referred to as "Just Missed U". This is because the student body is comprised of kids who just missed getting accepted to UVA.

No shame in just missing at UVA. JMU is no UVA, but it is a good school. Look down your noses all you want, but JMU won 2 football national championships. UConn has 0. JMU football is respectable.

Of course UConn to the P5 is the preference. It's just not there.

In football, abc-Duke, abc-UNC, abc-Cuse, abc-Ohio State, abc-Michigan, abc-Notre Dame...all would be example of high value match ups. UConn isn't the big national draw in those match-ups, the other school is. Plug in Temple, Cincy, or JMU and you still have high value match ups.

Just curious - you here in South FL?

UConn is a nice program, but you are no Notre Dame.

Not sure what sport you're talking about or just athletics in general, but I don't think Geno or Chris Daily would take kindly to your comment since they lead in the head to head series 35-11.

You don't think basketball drives P5 CR, do you?

No of course not, Football is the only bus driver in the ACC. I mean everyone can't wait for the next Duke-North Carolina game in football.

Please. Duke, UNC and Cuse are not the same value as OSU, Michigan and ND. Any school brings in rating with those three (among others). The AAC doesn't have those schools so how would JMU, Villanova and Delaware add enough to raise the value of the AAC media contract? You still haven't shown how they would.

UCONN - Boston College isn't a high value match up???? Are you serious and blind as well? Even UCONN vs Syracuse or BC in a football game in the all important NYC to Boston corridor market would out draw ANY other combination of teams from the ACC. That's why UCONN and it's high academic standing is P5 bound. Temple, Cincinnati, and JMU are good schools but just cannot compete or draw on the NCAA stage like UCONN has and will continue to. UCONN has 22 national championships in D1 major college sports, which is more than Temple, Cinncinatti and JMU have combined.

UConn women's basketball is one of the most incredible dynasties in sports. It means zero for CR.

BC was not one of the listed match-ups. BC-UConn has a rivalry aspect that other foes would not bring to the table. Just like a FBS JMU-Virginia Tech would have more juice than a UConn-VT.

Lol...JMU - VT in the Northeast would probably get beat in its time slot by pro bowling or lacrosse.

BC-UConn would not draw many eyes in the south. BC-UConn would draw in New England. FBS JMU-VT would draw in Va, more than VT-UConn.

How come you didn't list it? How convenient they were left out. Lol

Ask Billybud. He is the one that listed the match-ups.

I think BC-UConn is the kind of match-up that programs need - history and within the same region.

BC - UCONN would draw big time in NYC up through Boston. JMU - VT couldn't even touch that ANYWHERE!!! The ACC couldn't care less about the rural sec south. Lol

Do Temple, Cincinnati, or JMU have any D1 NC's in anything?

Yes. JMU has 2 football titles. Cincy has some historical basketball titles. In the 1950s they had the Big O. In the early 60s they had back to back titles.
