I wasn't accusing you of anything. In fact, I was responding to someone else's post.
I know, I was using your post to prove the point I was making in an earlier post.

OK, for those who think it does matter, yes, I went to ND, and I have one child who graduated from ND three years ago, and another one who is currently a junior there. But I was a big fan long before I went there, and didn't want to see ND in the big ten before I went there, and I still don't.
Once the Big Ten has UConn we won't need or want NDhttp://ndsmcobserver.com/2015/01/carson-nd-left-outside-hockey-east/
They don't like being the only team from outside NE in Hockey East and are blaming the refs and bias for their losses. Somewhere Jim Delany is smiling.
So UConn doesn't want to be in the ACC for the same reason that ND doesn't want to be in the big ten. At what point should UConn get over their treatment by those ACC teams that didn't want them. I'm still not ready to get past the way ND was treated. Maybe some day (but not yet).

It didn't prove anything, though. As has been explained, not only is it not unequal, but to not do it the way the Big Ten does it would actually be unequal.
I guess it depends on where you stand. Those guys in Nebraska really think they are being treated unfairly. But then, they could probably explain to UConn fans how UConn is being treated fairly, but my guess is the UConn fans might disagree.
Not even a 10th of the football fans that go to the BC football games are alums of BC. BC probably has most of its alums not even going to BC sports events, as either they don't follow sports, or they follow the teams in the states or the countries they were born and raised in, and continue to follow those teams once they leave New England after college in perhaps half the BC Alums cases. I would imagine Wake Forest is the same, as they have a large segment of their student body from outside their school's locale of North Carolina.I think it's pretty safe to assume the accuracy of the statement "Most <blank> fans didn't go to <blank>." Except perhaps in the case of Wake. And BC.
No we'd like to be in the ACC but we'd prefer to be in the more stable, more profitable B1G. I'm not sure why that is a hard concept.So UConn doesn't want to be in the ACC for the same reason that ND doesn't want to be in the big ten.
