Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1230400, member: 2524"] The B1G could give enough money to compensate for the travel (university decision-makers don't necessarily care about the players if they can get extra money) and if BU leadership sees academic-side gains to being associated with the B1G, they could pull the trigger. But, I'm not sure I see BU as an all-sports (sans football) invite. That would be a major strategic change of direction for BU, to invest in other sports besides hockey. It would be hard to build up their facilities to B1G standards given the urban location and scarcity of land (and high land values). Unless the B1G goal is to further marginalize BC and the ACC, I don't see the sense in it. Raising BU to primacy in Boston in basketball and other non-football sports, while also adding UConn in all sports, would be a dagger at the ACC. But it would be expensive and probably a poor return on investment. [/QUOTE]
