The ACC is no longer a first-choice option. They are screwed with their contract and GOR which sounds like it's going to break. Why would we jump from an abandoned island onto a sinking ship? With the timing and contracts of the ACC vs. Big 12 its much more likely the Big 12 poaches ACC teams when/if Notre Dame dip and SEC pickings take off the rest of the rats scurry. That means the Big 12 is much more likely to get Pitt, Cuse and a few others that would suddenly, along with WVU align regionally with UConn. Why would we want to pounce into an unstable ACC only to watch the reasons we jumped over to take off for greener pastures?

Also, as much as we all love the Big East it needs to be keep in mind Big 12 is exploring taking Nova, Georgetown, St John as well as (non BEAST Gonzaga) for Bball only. Just rumor at this point but it is whispered that along with trying aquire BEAST teams are looking at MSG for a future conference tourney. The upside of the Big12 due to timing and contract puts it at a great advantage.
