UConn was coming off a BCS Bowl and 2 Big East titles in 4 years, consistently going to bowl games. We didn’t have a ton of history obviously but we were the fasting growing program in the sport. Joining the ACC would have only enhanced our growth. Louisville had some baaaaad years before Strong came in and was CUSA a few years before the ACC called! Edsall was gone but there was no sign of just how far we’d fall at that point. Ironically, we beat a ranked Louisville team on the road days before they were introduced. Cuse and Pitt were already invited because of their (ancient) football history. The Louisville invite was very “odd.”
Just put it in your signature and spare us then please.
You wouldn't have to bribe all ACC presidents, just the RIGHT one. On the flip side you're expecting dozens of "poor" recruits and strippers and prostitutes to stay quiet. Where do you think you're more likely to get a leak from?
All true, and yet you drive around Louisville and see the stadium from the highway, Cardinal logos on the railroad overpass, and proclamations that "you're in ACC country." Ever since the data sample you provided, Louisville football & basketball profiles have looked better. Maybe you're right that it was all about the cheating. We'll see.
Prevailing opinion is no. The hopeful opinion is yes and UConn replaces. My opinion is whatever happens I prefer UConn joining the B!G.
In my opinion I don't really see how kicking a team out of a conference is possible. There is so much money and legal paperwork in effect that it seems like a nightmare. Also if Penn State and Baylor are still playing P5 athletics, then this scandal has barely even scratched the surface of those controversies.
Perhaps if you wear a hat no one will notice?
I have only ever heard of BCs involvement and maybe FSU.
Sigh, no he's not. Here this link explains it in detail.
