The more I think about the possibility of joining the B1G the less I like it. I mean sure I'd be pretty happy if it were announced today that we don't have to play in the American anymore, but I really hope we get into the ACC eventually. I don't care about the B1G programs. Sure it's fun to change it up and play them every now and again, but imagine playing Syracuse, Louisville, Duke, Pitt, UNC, BC, etc etc every year. Those are games with history and venom. Those are the games you want to see every year as the meat and potatoes of a football/basketball schedule.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
The ACC for basketball would be okay. For football it's the Big a East redux.
Only one football team in that conference gets the state of Ct interested in Football.
Even FSU was a commuter school until the 1960's.
We've played all those schools in football as the fans in Ct slept.
The most excitement ever for a UConn football game was Mich.
That game took place at a low point for Football in the state. Imagine the price of tickets with a decent coach.
Sorry the ACC just doesn 't do it.
The Best team far in away in the ACC is FSU, in Ct BC would be number two,
After we beat them 5 years in a row that game would be a bore. Rutgers actually has bigger potential as the battle for NY. Especially in western Ct.
Everyone else Is a yawner in the ACC.
