ESPN Rumor Mill: ACC may not expand in near future

All of that isn't absolutely correct. Long Island Sound is a part of the Atlantic Ocean.

Wrong. Long Island Sound doesn't even border on the Atlantic. It borders on Block Island / Rhode Island Sound, which borders on the Atlantic.

Interesting. Show me the map with the delineated borders for the Atlantic/BI Sound/RI Sound/LI Sound. Technically, I believe its an estuary.

Just looked a map guys. CT does in fact border the Atlantic Ocean.

This is good news. Means the b10 is still after more and uconn is of interest. Acc going to make it seem like uconn has nothing to go to to pressure them to accept acc invite before b10 does more. Love it. Last week espn was gogogaga for uconn and now they fear we may be wanted elsewhere.

it i hope susan calls the b12 and pac 2night also just so swirls in nc.

How can these news reports be true? I mean, ESPN is hell bent on destroying the Big East, so therefore they should be writing stories promoting Lou and/or UConn to the ACC, right?

God damnit this * is SO STUPID. I've seriously stopped caring.

Like the worst reality show imaginable.

HFD... let's say UConn accepts an invite to the ACC tonight, and the Big 10 comes calling tomorrow and says "yeah turns out we'd love to have you".... since UConn won't actually switch conferences for another year plus... couldn't we just change our minds? Sorta like TCU?

We could if its just a buyout # to pay. But swofford is looking for a gor which would then lock us up media wise for lenght. We need to be patient here and pull the acc trigger as late as possible without losing it and join them asap this next fall. Wait as long as possible forr b10. Announce future plans right now to expand rent and more research. Dont care if thats 5 or 50 years down the road. Announce them.

The GoR scares the hell out of me. I know that the argument out there is that people aren't sure it would hold up legally (because no one has tried to get out of one yet), but it is still a sketchy proposition. What a weird situation when it's not the 50 million dollar buyout that scares me...
