BC Blocked UConn from ACC

[Greathusky]

What do you expect from BC? Our attorney general sued them for leaving the Big East. It is ironic how hard the Boneyeard was on BC for leaving the Big East yet we would welcome a move for ourselves.

Screw the ACC! New blood at Providence! Wars with GT! MSG visits to beat St.John's. Down to the wire games with Nova! Bring it on.

Completely meaningless because they don't play FBS football!

Give me a showdown with a Big East rival in basketball over a UCONN FBS game any day. Yeah.. I know the economics about not having a viable football program but UCONN basketball is my passion. So what is meaningless to you is very meaningful to me. Bring in some FBS schools to keep the BCS gods happy but let's keep Big East basketball alive.

that, buy all the billboard space on Chapel Hill and put Jim Calhoun's face all over it.

I'm in for $100! But I would rather do Chestnut Hill!!!!

The contract was rumored to be blocked by Pitt and two other schools.

Flipper doesn't have the clout to block UConn by himself, he just doesnt. He may have been able to piggy back off of another school's vote, but if anyone believes that Gene DeFilippo said "I don't want UConn" and the rest of the ACC caved is delusional.

BC may have been instrumental in what happened, but it isn't because they were the driving force. They may have been a deciding vote, but they weren't the motivating voice. Of course they didn't want UConn in the ACC, that isn't news to anyone.

Frankly, DeFilippo going public with petty crap like that makes him look stupid. Makes it look like he is afraid of UConn football.
