For the record, if the B1G calls we jump at it, even if there is an invitation to the ACC in our other hand.

If proximity is the most important factor, we should consider the NEC. Yes, the ACC is a damned sight better than where we are today but the B1G is as far ahead of the ACC (on all levels) as the ACC is from this sh!tp!le of a conference.
 
This is UConn's best shot at ever really getting a foothold into big time football. They desperately need the ACC for all it's athletic programs. The Big East (AKA the anybody who doesn't have a date conference) will never be a factor in big time football and maybe eventually hoops.
 
At the end of the day their will be 1 team in the BE, Uconn and they will play themselves all season.

The BE is the Tinkerbell conference. It is only alive and good at football if you believe in it and clap your hands to save Tinkerbell. #ClapHarder!

You may be on to something. I swear this is part of a conspiracy to insure that no television network will ever again get stuck with UConn and it's piss-poor, old fashioned offense on New Years Day. Everybody's still mad at the abysmal offensive showing of the Fiesta Huskies. And, they know UConn's only gotten worse since then. They (the rest of the big time college football playing world) won't be happy til UConns back in the Yankee Conference or so it seems.

Hate to say it but future went from bright to dim pretty quick can you say Duke?
 
From ESPN.COM report:
"
Big Ten officials did not respond to numerous requests seeking comment. ACC officials also did not respond to a request for comment. Maryland officials would not comment when asked after the Terps' football game on Saturday.

If these dominoes were to fall then Connecticut would emerge as the most likely candidate to fill Maryland's spot in the ACC. The ACC will be at 14 members in 2013-14 with the addition of the Big East's Pittsburgh and Syracuse and 15 in all sports except football when Notre Dame joins, which could be as early as fall 2013."

The last time I was happiest with uconn football was the spring game after all.

I have this knot in my stomach telling me the acc will decide to wait for Notre dame to decide on a conference and Boise and maybe others will decide the moving to the big east is no longer worth it and stay put.

This is EXACTLY how I'm feeling tonight, and I hope I'm dead wrong...

Really tough to play with 13 though. They can't really wait around, they need to add a full member.

I really hope you are right. The last round of expansion just really brought out the pessimist in me on this subject.

True but we've tried this.

Also, there is a far worse possible scenario that I would rather not type (as ignoring its possibility is the only way I'll be able to sleep tonight).

Really hard to see them landing on Louisville, USF or Cincinnati.

He is. Especially cause B12 and sec, not to mention b1g again someday, will be taking a run. Acc needs numbers if nothing else. Boise balking is a legit risk though. This is no where near settled, as b12 will be forced to expand at some point.

That isn't what I'm thinking.

Might this be it?

Md and Ru to B1G.
FSU and UofL to B12.
ACC stays at 12.
