Welp, ACC stays together with a new agreement (LINK)

yeah I disagree. But it is a moot point anyway since UConn is not getting a P2 invite. Just like another 90 or so FBS schools.

You don’t really need to disagree on everything. We had the Rent regularly sold out in the Big East. True story. It’s an opponent problem. You can’t take a school out of a power conference and expect their fans to love it.

We aren’t Rutgers. We have a much better fan base. Not sure if you were around during our Big East football days, but it was fantastic. I’m in Florida and I am in a family of Florida and FSU fans. I’ve been to a lot of games. UConn would show out just fine in a P2. Our fans simply want to play football at a championship level. That’s what happens when you pile up natties in other sports. If we play big time football, we will have a big time fan experience. The Duke game showed you everything you need to know. Send a competitive team out to play a decent brand name competitor and the stadium is near full and the crowd is great. Give us a steady diet of that and we’ll be sold out all the time.
