Message: [QUOTE="omniorange, post: 27130, member: 636"] I think SU and Pitt were a no-brainer since if a league is considering a northeastern "strategy", the states a conference has to have represented are New York, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts. The pertinent question for Rutgers and UConn is, IF there is only room for one of them, what is the next best state for the ACC to have? New Jersey - which reinforces NY and PA? Or Connecticut - which helps reinforce MA and NY? Population wise it's NJ hands down. Income wise, it's CT. Does having the states of Maryland and Virginia help UConn at all, since the ACC would still have 4 of the 6 mid-Atlantic states? If it comes down to just one of them, my heart says it should be UConn, but my head thinks it just might be Rutgers. Cheers, Neil [/QUOTE]
