Message: [QUOTE="btstimpy, post: 2245885, member: 2673"] I remember reading that interview by Mark Blaudshun at the time. Gene DeFilippo was part of the push for Pittsburgh. He held a grudge over the lawsuit of 2003. But he is gone now. With BC now scheduling UConn and UMass regularly, hopefully they recognize that they truly do need regional rivals. The fans in New England will be more interested in those games than watching teams outside the region. Hopefully during the next round, BC will support UConn if UConn is available. With 15 now there are lots of votes to get. What will be most important to the ACC at that point will be driving the Network Channel into new subscriber bases and improvements to the football and/or basketball product. That article suggesting 2023 may be the timing, but with the network coming online in 2019 maybe sooner. [/QUOTE]
