[QUOTE="NYUConn, post: 1684114, member: 6274"]
My point is that even if Cuse and Pitt are now suddenly Pro-UConn (which I concede to your point they likely would be), the possibility exists that UConn still doesn't have the votes to get into the ACC even if the threat of the Big 12 entering the northeast is staring them directly in the face.

So the idea that if UConn is really about to become P5, the ACC would come calling is not necessarily true if we don't have the votes to get that ACC invite. A Big XII invite pending or in hand doesn't necessarily trigger a call from the ACC if they don't have the votes to extend us an invite (which I think is entirely possible).

There are tons of factions now in the ACC and assuming for the moment that it takes 12 ACC schools to vote for admission (80%) it's not not inconceivable to believe that there are 4 schools who still don't want us enough to shoot the entire conference in the foot.

I mean all it would take to keep UConn from getting an ACC invite - even with a Big 12 one in hand - is BC and three of the football powers (FSU, Clemson and Georgia Tech) to say no. Totally plausible.
