Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1036462, member: 2141"] If the ACC adds someone, I expect it to be Cincinnati. The give the ACC a toe hold in the Midwest and a natural partner for Louisville and Pittsburg (West Virginia would have a meltdown). They bring a consistently good football team, which is what UConn needs, and decent basketball and a major football recruiting market. Plus, there is enough animosity (yes BC and 'Cuse) in the ACC left to keep UConn from getting the votes needed. The risk that the ACC makes is if the B1G jumps to 16 for the next TV contract (2017?) and does grab UConn. At best, NYC is split between the ACC and B1G under that scenario. At worst, UConn, when combined with Rutgers, Penn St & the B1G alumni network, dominates the DC to NYC market pushing 'Cuse to the side and isolating BC on an island in Boston, which is fine for most BC fans who think Boston is the 'hub' of universe. ND would not be happy and if ND is not happy, the ACC will not be. One wild for the ACC, how about adding Navy only for football (maybe lacrosse, too) and at the same time adding Georgetown for everything but football? Best of both worlds for the ACC in the DC market and adding Navy makes ND happy and adding Georgetown hoops allows the Fruit to pull out their big hair and stonewashed jeans and re-love the 80's.
