UConn to the ACC would preserve their women's hoop rivalry.

I don't think it was that many. After all it is past the bedtime of most of their fan base (those under 12 and over 67 are normally asleep by now).18 total people just got really excited.

The WBB success is amazing, very proud of that group. The fact they are as dominant as they are, and UConn hasn't gotten a sniff from either the B1G or ACC should tell you exactly how much WBB matters.Ah the shots against the women and their fan base. Those were a lot funnier until you realized they are the last to blame by the fact we are being placed below such athletic mediocrity as Pitt and Rutgers on the conference expansion totem pole. Perhaps if the football team tried to win as much as the women, we wouldn't be sitting here this last crucial week hoping the last domino falls our way. The fact the men's bball team is on academic probation right isn't exactly ideal either.

And you are the only one with these expectations.Yup it matters zilch. But it does raise my expectations for other UConn teams, you know like how the football team should be able to beat a losing Temple team at home.
Assuming MD is gone, UConn's future will be determined by what ESPN tells Swofford UConn will mean for the TV contract. My guess is that ESPN will tell them to take us, blowing up the Big EAst once and for all and making the ACC hoops rights, which they already own, much, much more valuable.
You know the women's fans are extremely bitter about the fact WBB is unimportant to everyone but them when they show open contempt for a football program we all (presumably) want to succeed.Yup it matters zilch.

Rumor is compliance inspectors are sniffing around Geno and company. Be careful not to take shots at the men that may come back to haunt you. What happens on the field and in the classroom is virtually irrelevant to the changing conference landscaping. It's all about money and eyeballs.
I still hope the big surprise this round is that big10 grabs md, ru, UNC, and Uconn. The acc would have nowhere to turn.
Oh really....This has 0 percent chance of occurring
Oh really....
When you were telling everyone that ND would join the ACC, driving MD to the Big10 with Rutgers in tow several months ago, I forgot where you said Uconn would land. Do you still have that post? Clearly you are omniscient in your knowledge of conference realignment to be throwing out absolutes like that.
Why not take a riskier position and try to predict who wins the World Series in 2012?
Nope... It was you. You are always making these crazy predictions. Since this merry-go-round started, you've been spot on... Look at that prediction that UNC won't join the Big10... Crazy!!!!I believe you have me confused with someone else. I stand by my position that UNC is not going to the B10.

Notre Dame isn't joining the ACC for football. If they were going to join a conference for all sports it would be the Big 10 or whatever they will be calling themselves.Speculation from these mental giants is that ND will have to make a choice, join for fb and prevent MD from leaving, with UConn as an acceptable #14.
They play good womens basketball in the ACC.Actually, ND President cares a lot about the women's hoop program. Their rep as football U has not always made them as appealing to women. They view the women's hoop program as critical "outreach" in improving their image. And they know that the women's hoop program rose to prominence solely because it got to play UConn twice a year. Mike Brey has suggested much the same about the men. I think ND would easily prefer UConn to Maryland in the ACC, and would far prefer us to Louisville. Louisville's academics are just as disqualifying as WVU's were, if not more so.

Further, is UConn really that much of a downgrade from them football-wise?Why is it important to anyone whether maryland leaves? Seriously, folks, it's Maryland. The fact that the Big Ten thinks they make more money selling the BTN in greater DC is a Big Ten issue, but what does the ACC lose?
