Message: [QUOTE="Eavesdrop, post: 5264572, member: 11175"] Actually, I wasn’t responding to any specific post or person. This thread is littered with speculation, and I’ve come across conjecture more than once in recent months about USF, Tulane, and Memphis potentially joining the ACC if and when current members depart. I simply shared an opinion about Memphis that - if I’m correct - might end up benefiting UConn. As for my allegiances: my wife and I are both Florida State alums, and we each worked there for about a decade. We also both grew up rooting for FSU, and that connection will always run deep - frustrations and all. Over the years, I’ve built relationships with folks at various member institutions, so I don’t carry the same irrational resentment toward the ACC that many FSU fans seem to. I hope the conference survives - and I believe it will. That said, I also hope Florida State is eventually invited to join either the SEC or the Big Ten. With all that duly noted, we’ve lived about ten minutes from UConn’s campus for the past eight years. Our two oldest kids (and a not-insignificant portion of our money) currently go to UConn, and it’s looking like our third (and more of our money) may follow in a couple of years. Given our ties to the area and the university, we’ve attended countless sporting events with our kids and are supportive of UConn athletics and the school as a whole. I want UConn to thrive. [/QUOTE]
