Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5351367, member: 44"] Not really. BC football is not good and isn't supported by their fans. The sole sport that BC is consistently good in is hockey. Yes, the Boston College AD given an interview to the globe in which he said that BC "blackballed" UConn, who had been scheduled to join the ACC with Syracuse, because "Boston College wanted to be the New England school." The ACC ended up taking Pittsburgh instead. Ironically, Boston College, Syracuse and Pittsburgh have all seen their athletics decline in the ACC. On the other hand, the three schools each get a media distribution from the ACC of about $35 million a year plus an additional college football playoff distribution of about $15 million a year. UConn get media distribution of about 5 million per year from the big east. Our total distributions are a few million more than that because of NCAA credits we earned. I'm not confident at all that we will get an offer from the ACC (or the Big 12), but if it came, we would accept it because we would be earning about 10 times the athletic department revenue we do currently.
