How many years has Cincy been in a major conference for football? How many of those years has Cincy been in a major conference for football that most of the country saw as insignificantly better and more important than the MWC?
 
Which has more room for growth both as a football competitor and a program that draws a large TV audience in its region, a school located in a region as poor in talent and as uninterested in college football as is New England or a school in a state with as much talent and as big an interest in college football as OH? 
 
You are assuming that Cincy has no room for growth and that UConn somehow can elevate BC, as if that mattered more than a jot.
 
Your conclusion misses the point: the ACC has no pressing need for any more great chick sports or soccer powers or OK baseball teams or hockey wannabees, nor any more schools playing Home games 25 miles from campus. The ACC has a pressing need for access to more top notch football recruits (to help us compete with the SEC on the field) and to more people who are likely to find some interest in watching ACC football once it becomes local to them. If you can get both of those with a school that also has a good basketball history, you have what you need.
 
Let this sink in - The Cincinnati TV market turns out more football talent than NY and New England combined. That is worth a good deal.
 
Here is basic logic: if you have a team in a region with no talent production and no significant fan interest, then you are nuts to double those problems. It should be done only if you have no other option.
