Need to get into P4 conference

[Viet Vet]

Even the "remnants" of the ACC would be better for UConn than the American (AAC). Travel to AAC locations is only marginally more appealing than travel to the P4 Big 12, a much bigger, and better, football conference................and a terrific (would be best-in-country with us, both men and women) basketball league. If a bid to the Big 12 never materializes, then................the ACC is geographically, and academically, our best fit...........even if becomes the Big East 2.0 in football.

The Big East 2.0 would be a major upgrade to Independence.

If such a conference would include the BB powerhouses (Duke, UNC etc.) from the ACC and the schools/conferences can monetize BB ala CFP, then we're talking! MM brings in over $1b per year and IMO too much of it goes to the NCAA. (Interestingly, the Big 12 is a big component of the top 25 currently {6 teams?}. So BB would be in the thick of it if we ended up there instead!)

the National Championship game is at Hard Rock Stadium, Miami's home field ... was no surprise they got in, and potentially was a smart move

Hell of a road Miami took to get there.

Apples to Oranges (no pun intended)

Last Year - Orange Bowl, Notre Dame / Penn State - $450 diva indoor/outdoor club seat, bought on game day, from the dentist chair

This Year - Miami vs. TBD, same ticket $6,800

Imagine if Virginia won the ACC title, they would have gotten in over Miami

Are the Domers still complaining? Probably saying -> that should be us <- LOL

Last year, Orange Bowl not the championship game, no massive swelling of resuscitated scUM bandwagoners, and no historic performance from traditional B1G doormat Indiana.

It’s going to be a snuff film. I bet the gane is over at halftime.
