On Sept. 12, it voted to add Notre Dame — long presumed to be in the sights of the Big Ten — in all sports but football.[B] Some Big Ten athletic directors believed Delany grew wary that the ACC would move to grab Rutgers and Connecticut, two Big East schools who provided some semblance of an entry into the New York media market, an unclaimed territory for college sports.[/B] “Conferences were outside of their historical footprint,” Delany said. “The question was: Do we want to go outside ours? The answer was yes.”[/I] [/QUOTE]
