Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1549231, member: 2524"] Not only is the ACC not ideal, it may be inferior to the B12. ACC is no longer a northeast-focused conference. Only two of the 14 ACC teams are within 480 miles of Storrs. Once you are flying, the greater distance to B12 schools doesn't matter. B12 would elevate the football program more than the ACC. B12 is more fragile than the ACC, which is a disadvantage for most schools but advantageous for us -- makes it easier for us to move to the B1G later. We want to become a national program. We have history with ACC schools but it is time to expose ourselves to a larger world of fans. [/QUOTE]
