If ACC needs to further expand, feels UConn, Cincinnati, USF, etc will still be available

At least we are not etc just yet!

"So, you're telling me, we have a chance?" **** I feel more and more like dumb and dumber every day this goes on.

I still don't see any way USF enters an ACC with FSU and Miami. Unless one of them leave, we're still hanging out in The-New-C-USA^TM.

I agree. I find it interesting that the ACC chose Louisville over UCONN. I thought that academics would win out on this one. Times are definitely changing.

Also it is obvious that the Big 12 is not settling for just anybody. They are waiting for the Clemson/FSU combo.

Pretty much. Our fate is more or less in the hands of the Big 12 now. Either they can get FSU to make the jump and pay the $50 million (or lesser buyout if Maryland succeeds), or they can't and they possibly look to us as a Florida presence and expanded TV market for them. Even if the B1G or SEC strikes first, its likely neither of them will go after FSU, so until they leave to the Big 12, we stand virtually zero chance of going to the ACC.

I don't. Boston College had a say in this and they don't want UConn. Also, UConn's Men's Basketball program's recent issues with the NCAA and the APR would have raised some eyebrows with the ACC Presidents.

Apparently Duke and UNC are livid. They wanted UCONN for BB and Academics.

I wouldn't doubt it. Surprised at how much pull Boston College apparently has, which is pretty ironic, since I think they'd be a pretty viable candidate for the B1G.

BB and academics don't pay the bills.

"@PhonyCaridi: @GSwaim Worried this UofL news might plug the leak as far as teams exiting ACC. Your thoughts?" // #B1G still in adding mode.

Hopefully in the short term the B1G will continue to add ACC teams. We need panic in the ACC!
