Not sure UConn can beat out Rutgers. Rutgers is the dominant brand in NYC in terms of fans.
I think the ACC should take Rutgers, Louisville and UConn right now and leave a spot for ND. The ACC can then try and renegotiate a deal knowing that they have absorbed all of ND's target market. ND would probably join the ACC at some point with this model. There is no way ND is going to tell anybody they are joining their conference until they have their hand forced. The ACC needs to expand now to protect itself but also to secure its spot as ND's #1 suitor.
Again, the ACC has to just do it. They aren't getting a wink and a nod from ND first. Once its done, the ACC will have to live with whatever the result is but they may be in trouble and this is the best way to prepare for change.
I'm a Rutgers (Law) alum, and I don't see Rutgers as a dominant brand of anything other than Soprano's jokes. I guess I ought to update that to say "and Snooki jokes".
