Well, really, some of the same arguments can be made for about Georgia Tech. Yes, they are already in the ACC, but the similarities to the statements you make could apply to them as well. Their fan base is fairly small - Georgia is the "big dog" in the Atlanta market. When you go to Atlanta, you really see much more Georgia apparel being worn than Tech. Athletically, Tech doesn't rule the television sets in Atlanta. Bobby Dodd Stadium holds 55,000. Okay, bigger than the Rent, but not huge by any means. Duke's stadium seats about 34,000. Wake Forest's stadium is 31,000. The Rent, at 40,000 wouldn't be the smallest stadium if included in the ACC. I think UConn brings as much to the table from a fan base, stadium size, and television market as some of the current ACC members.
excellent point. altho i wasn't saying UCONN is a bad fit for any conference, i was just asking what we really bring that a football conference would find attractive.
