You fit in perfectly with The ACC. The problem is that every time you should have been added someone’s agenda kept you out.

Opportunity #1

BC played protectionist to be “ New England’s Only P5 Team” Instead of enhancing their own standing in college sports with this move, they ended up minimizing their own fading brand by snuffing out a potential interesting rivalry.

Opportunity #2

FSU and Clemson, annoyed with a supposed lack of football credibility in the conference, flirt with The Big 12, and wrest control of expansion from The Tobacco Road Mafia. UConn is the early leader until the supposed stronger football choice in Louisville is made by The Noles and Tigers. UConn Football had not gone of the cliff at this point. One could argue that UConn could have brought comparable football, along with superior basketball. Dumb move IMO.

Opportunity #3

The desperate money grab that was Stanford, SMU, and Cal. Could The Huskies have brought a similar offer to the table? Should they have? JMO but UConn brings enough to a conference that they shouldn’t have to buy their way into it on a completely unreasonable deal. That said these are strange times.
