Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 2194330, member: 5598"] I do not disagree with your assessment above...I think it is historically and factually correct and a very solid analysis. If the biggest decision point is money then UConn is the only candidate (after ND) that truly owns its market in a region the ACC is trying to occupy. However, I've learned trying to predict the thought process for how a conference will add members is like trying to predict which sperm cell will fertilize an egg. Every round of alignment seems different and it is always a blend of concrete facts (money, athletic department, academics, TV markets) and emotion ("teams I want my school to play in football" and "I'm tired of those fancy NC basketball schools telling us what to do.") I agree the ACC football schools made the call on the last rounds of ACC alignment. I am just not convinced they are willing to give the reigns back to tobacco road....That said, I hope you are right and it is about the ACCN and revenue. [/QUOTE]
