Message: [QUOTE="willingtonfan, post: 2671406, member: 2059"] I hate to be the one to say this, as I would love us to be in the ACC, but it won't happen, and there is a reason. Our state's current US Senator and former attorney general, Richard Blumenthal, famously sued the ACC to block Boston College from leaving the Big East in 2003 to join the ACC, following Virginia Tech and Miami. There have been numerous credible reports that anger among ACC school athletic directors and its commissioner have been a primary reason for us being rejected when expansion of the league was considered. Given the legal costs incurred to defend the lawsuit (which never went anywhere -- school X in conference A has no legal right to have that conference continue to contain the same teams) the ACC would likely be unwilling to consider UConn for the foreseeable future.
