The ACC will not add UConn for two reasons:
 
1) It was their former state AG, Blumenthal, who initiated legal proceedings aganst the ACC.  I know others took part as well.  But, it was Connecticut who started it.  ACC administrators and fans will not forget that anytime soon.  They have two huge black marks against them ever joining.  And, that is the absolute biggest.
 
2) They will never get the 80% vote required to gain acceptance.  The football-first schools...FSU, Miami, Clemson, Tech, and VPI...will all vote against them.  So will NCSU.  Thats way more than enough to permanently block them.  This league needs stronger football brands, and, they simply don't have it.  That is the second big black mark against them.  We have more than enough quality basketball programs to have the best league in the country.
 
We simply do not need them, and, they made lifetime enemies with the legal wrangling.
 
IMO, Cincinnati would stand a much better chance at being accepted.
 
See, no '' comment.  Just as you requested.  :)
