Translation: They discussed it, and ESPN said they weren't going to pay for expansion. ACC is learning to be comfortable in the dunce's seat.

The frightening thing for UConn is that ESPN and FOX may decide that neither conference is worth anything and the only schools that hold value are the 4-5 on top.

Puts odds of UConn getting in the B12 at 15-1. Behind Cincy (2-1), BYU(3-1), Houston(5-1) Memphis(10-1)...

Damn comfortable...

ACC may be the best sports conference going....that dunce's hat feels pretty good...more like a Mitre.

Major sports:

National titles in Football (2013), basketball (2015, baseball (2015) recently...played in the last finals of all three major sports.

Basketball...NC's in 2009, 2010, 2015.....runner up this year....Set the record in tournament credits this year as well as a two year credit record....




Minor Sports

Men's soccer...NC's in 2009, 2011, 13, 14...runner up in 2015......currently ACC teams ranked #1, 3, 5, 6, 11, 13, 24

Women's soccer....NC's in 2009, 2011, 2014....runner up in 2015.....now ranked #2, 6, 10, 11, 13, 15

Men's Lacrosse...NC's in 2010. 2011, 2013, 2014..this year four teams in the 16 team bracket.

Women's Lacrosse.....NC in 2014.....currently six teams in Top 20


If you like successful sports programs...the ACC is a great conference...

So this decade, UConn has 9 national titles (2 field hockey, 2 men's hoops, 5 women's hoops) while the entire ACC has 14.

If you were seeking to create a successful conference network drafting from the B12, ACC, and G5, then Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Florida State, Miami, Clemson, Ga Tech, UNC, Duke, UVa, VaTech, and UConn would probably be the first 11, with NC State, WVU, Iowa State, Pitt and Texas schools available to get to 12, 14, or 16. I doubt Louisville, Cincy, Wake, BC, Cuse, K State, Okla State bring much to a network that already has Kansas and Oklahoma.

Without football, baseball, soccer, or lacrosse NC's....it is a basketball conference.

If you are going to mention Women's Field Hockey, I should also mention such minor NC's as the ACC's in golf, mens tennis, women's tennis, women's rowing.

I do think that the ACC is quite remarkable and has a very well deserved reputation. Just in the last few years you've had Syracuse's decade long triple scandal of drugs, illegal payments to players and academic fraud; Louisville's providing hookers for players and prospects; UNC's 2 decade long academic fraud and current academic probation form their accrediting agency.

That's just the most recent ones. I suspect you know about quite a few more.

Does any member of your super-duper, wins-all-the-championships conference have as many championships as UConn since 2010?

This is not accurate.

The ACC has a lot more NCs than 14 since 2010.

Three in women's field hockey (UMd 2010, UMd 2011, Syracuse 2016)

One in men's cross country (Syracuse 2016).

One in women's golf (Duke 2014).

Two in men's tennis (UVa 2013, 2015).

Two in rowing (UVa 2010, 2012).

Might have missed some others, but add at least 9 to the total you came up with.

Huh? Now that I have thought about it...If the Huskies are that good, I wonder about who should be wearing the dunces cap?

Yes...UConn's Women's basketball is a great program....a dynasty


And yes, UConn has had two men's NC's since 2010....both in a major. Not bad

That's about the same as Duke....

Yeah but your empty threats when the thread goes off the rails are now rendered emptier. "Other thoughts" could be interpreted reaaaaaaaly broadly.

In one swift edit, I have legitimized thousands of posts in this thread.

I'm like a internet Moses leading non-key posts out of exile and you want to argue with me?

Does the "Other Thought" have to be "key" or is the key-criteria only necessary for tweets. Because I've been thinking that I'd like to get a solid chicken parm sub for dinner tonight, but my wife would then question my diet discipline. Just putting that out there. Please remove if the thought has to be key.

Great. 40 years of wandering the AAC before getting to the land of Milk and Honey and Cornfields. Thanks a lot Moses.

This is the post that finally got your attention? I believe the ACC forfeits all ownership of titles won by MD. Or just keep claiming them, like those lame ACC football commercials claiming Larry Fitzgerald and other former BE players as ACC products.
