Message: [QUOTE="Dooley, post: 1401168, member: 2920"] First, I still don't think ND is anywhere close to joining a conference. But... There is no question ND would go to bat for UConn over Cincinnati. Much like the B1G, ND wants to keep its large northeastern alumni happy. They have a good partnership with Boston College for their Boston alumni. But like Rutgers and the B1G, BC doesn't deliver the entire northeast for ND alumni. UConn and ND have played against each other in football, basketball and, now, hockey. We have hockey games scheduled in NYC for both alumni bases. We've played hoops games each other in MSG. And if we had anywhere close to a competent AD at the helm, we could be talking about the 3rd or 4th meeting against them at Yankee Stadium/Met Life this season. Cincinnati does not give ND what they want: the northeast. It's a no-brainer who ND would advocate for should they ever join the ACC full-time. [/QUOTE]
