The only reason they bitch at all is that they make less money, but it is stable money. The Pac is screwed. The Big XII quickly took a lifeboat deal and left the Pac to drown. The ACC is third best conference and it is likely to remain the 3rd best conference. It's not a sinking ship, it's a less luxurious yacht than the SEC or B1G, but we're in a freaking Sunfish sailboat. As for UConn, the ACC is by far the best semi-realistic option. The Big 12 would vastly prefer to pick off Pac Schools adjacent to its footprint. We are an absolute fit in the ACC as constituted right now. Great basketball, good baseball, formerly good soccer, decent football. There isn't a better landing spot, and no we don't really look like a Big 10 school. The enrollment and research emphasis just aren't there. [/QUOTE]
