Message: [QUOTE="EastBayCuse, post: 17817, member: 531"] You have to consider the b-ball situation as well as -ball. The problem with putting together "dream" conferences by assembling the most talented teams together is that some really good teams end up with losing records due to insane competition. That is the only reason the ACC would invite Rutgers - someone has to lose a lot of b-ball games to prevent cannibalism in the new ACC. Inviting UConn would just make the cannibalism worse. Every class I ever took in high school had a 'class clown' - when I took the honors classes and there were no jersey-shore types admitted, one of the smart kids degenerated to fill the niche of clown. Much as I hate Rutgers, and agree that they don't help the TV market in NYC that much, maybe the ACC should take them just to protect the rest from degenerating. Every league needs at least one bottom feeder to kick around. [/QUOTE]
