Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 1687165, member: 5598"] I don't think the ACC is capable of acting quickly enough to move on UConn/Temple. The only thing that even gives it an ounce of credibility is the ACC has shown itself in the past to be very reactionary. The ACC moved on Louisville when they thought the Big12 was going to take them. Perhaps UConn is the same but it seems a stretch that the ACC football powers would suddenly agree to traditional non-football power programs unless ESPN was directly mandating it for a network. The more amusing thought is what would happen in the Big12 if UConn was taken by the ACC. My guess is suddenly the programs bashing UConn would become their biggest fans. I can just see Texas screaming they were all in for expansion but only because of UConn and with UConn unavailable expansion is no longer possible. Meanwhile Boren's head explodes after losing Louisville and now UConn due to the inability of the Big12 to decide anything. The ACC taking UConn would likely further destabilize the relationships in the Big12 to the point they never recover. At that point the ACC is in play to try and poach Big12 teams in the future. This may be fantasy but for the first time in a long time it is nice to feel like the sought after program UConn should be. Hopefully it is true.... [/QUOTE]
