"Say UConn comes up clean in all this, well, I'm going to say it: The ACC presidents must be ashamed of themselves for picking Louisville over UConn in 2013. UConn, now the 18th ranked public university and 56th overall by U.S. News & World Report, is a strong fit for what the |ACC believes it stands for. All of its schools are ranked in the top 81. Except Louisville, it's 165th. And it cheats. Not little. Something awful."

Say what you want about JJ... but this guy has the balls to call out the ACC for their ridiculous decision in taking UL and calling for them to reconsider.

We’re not joining the ACC.

Football $$ rule.

IMO ACC's only worry is those football $$ shrinking, but if they do because of UL, there are other schools who will generate more football $$ than UConn

No, there aren't. Maybe BYU, but they aren't going to the ACC. It is market driven, we have an awesome market. We also have two basketball teams to help pull our weight. No other school has that.

Per Jacobs:
"Connecticut is in a budget crisis, its flagship university looking at a massive $300 million cut. UConn needs the millions from the Power Five cartel. What would it take to throw Louisville out of the ACC and let UConn in? The FBI doesn't have that answer, but somebody should be investigating it."

Is he hinting that UConn should do something? Remember when the TCU AD called up the Texas AD and met him in a restaurant carrying a briefcase full of info about TCU? Don't we have any connections where we could make a discreet phone call? Timing matters.
