The ACC doesn't have either Boston or NY.  Certainly not NYC.   Neither of those two schools, alone, are enough to generate the level of market saturation they need.  They aren't Ohio State that can capture attention across the state.  BC barely moves the needle in Boston.

It's interesting to see how markets change.  When I got out of law school, and lived in KC, it was Big 8/12 dominated.  KU, Mizzou, K-State, Nebraska, Iowa State...it was fully a Big 12 market, lock, stock and barrel.  Now?  Lost Mizzou to SEC, lost Nebraska to B1G, where it combines with Iowa.  Now the Big 12 is the biggest player in that market, but it's share is much, much smaller.

So that's what I think UConn adds to the ACC (and to a lesser extent the B1G).  Two teams in New England (of a total of two that play FBS) and two in NY of a total of three, one of which (Buffalo) doesn't register.  That's pretty good market saturation.  The ACC really screwed up not adding UConn and Rutgers before it lost Maryland.  Big mistake.
