Ever hear of the Crusades? lolI don't get how a non-profit group representing a peace loving religion would want "kill off" a neighbor.

The WF/Duke/UNC/NCST comparison doesn't apply to BC/UConn. Those core school founded the ACC 60 years ago after withdrawing from the old Southern Conference together due to a disagreement over the SoCon's ban on postseason play. They were already conference partners at the time and besides, that was an era before college sports was making bigtime money and recruits were flying all over the country to check out athletic programs. If those NC schools could somehow separate themselves geographically today I'm sure they would.Funny Adam uses FSU/Florida to make a point, all the while ignoring theproximity of WF/Duke/UNC/NCST.
The fact of the matter is that this has nothing to do with territory and everything to do with the curious group think mentality of The Heights. BC has always objected to competition and the virtues that come with it, rather they seek to maintain their perception of exclusivity that only exists in their cocoon.

That rumor may have some truth to it and it's anyone's guess as to how loyal any school is to its conference these days. My point is that BC blocking UConn from the ACC (or UF blocking FSU from the SEC) is a completely different situation than the analogy the poster above was trying to draw by pointing out that 4 ACC schools happen to be in North Carolina.Don't be so sure of that. Whispers have had NC State being talked about by the SEC, yet it isn't all that serious. Why? NC State doesn't have the desire to leave their conference rivalry with UNC.
