Message: [QUOTE="Btstimpy, post: 795710, member: 2043"] I was just basing my comment on the size of their athletic department budget. UConn's is about the size of Clemson's. They are a eastern state flagship school albeit a smaller state. Academically they would fit. And the ACC today sponsors 25 sports. UConn sponsors 22 of them missing only men's lacrosse, wrestling, and women's golf. They help with the ACC's interest in New York City for basketball. The football powers in the conference won't like them, but I see good upside contribution that they could make. I also don't want to see the Big Ten take them and move into New England. James Madison is all well and good, but they are at the FCS level in football. The ACC really doesn't need another Virginia school. Two is enough. Old Dominion is moving up to FBS. But if the ACC were looking at a Virginia school, William & Mary would be the best academic fit. They would need to upgrade to FBS though. [/QUOTE]
