hmm 2019 is too far, hopefully these rumors will make the ACC get their act together and pick us up for 2017.

Look, it's pretty obvious that UConn has been asking for, and receiving, feedback from 1 or more prospective conferences. Has anyone heard about the Title IX makeweight for adding M Lax? If it's gymnastics...

There is room in existing sports but it would require a serious financial upgrade to add the scholarships and increase the recruiting budgets necessary to bring in additional non-scholarship female athletes (Title IX measures both scholarships and total participation).

FWIW I know Sam Albano (haven't seen him since the 2009 BE Tournament). He was reasonably well connected with St John's until the Jarvis years sent that program down the toilet but I imagine he jumped to conclusions on what sport was involved in the discussion.
