Message: [QUOTE="ninety-nine, post: 4737105, member: 5497"] Yep, this new ACC configuration is fundamentally a short-term arrangement pending the next wave of realignment. It might be the case that when things shake loose again, whatever is left of the ACC (if that's still a thing) is actually more stable and a much better fit geographically for UConn than the Big 12, with the top-tier football schools and the Pacific contingent having departed. It's hard to project because of the way revenue models are evolving, as consolidation might mean three 24-team conferences or some such arrangement. It also might involve streaming contracts with new groups of contractually-affiliated schools. The current alignment does favor the Big 12, though, in terms of a stable lineup of universities, and it's probably more likely to stay intact and add a few members rather than being picked clean.
