Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 638765, member: 652"] I honestly don't have a problem with UConn as they atleast are building a program on a good trajectory before hiring Pasqualoni, but they won't get into the ACC as long as their are other options equally available. That lawsuit was personnel for John Swofford, and UConn will only get into the ACC if the conference gets gutted. Their hoops program would compete yearly in the ACC, but Florida State, Clemson don't want another program builder in football so when they are competing for a playoff spot and the SEC is perceived tougher playing UConn, Syracuse, Boston College all in the same season would hurt them unless they were undefeated. Honestly, if and when the ACC adds a 16th team there are 4 teams that should be discussed. 1. Penn State-long shot that brings 5 star football/ 2 star basketball, but they are ideal and if you put them with Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Louisville that is a good yearly pod. 2. West Virginia- that brings 4 star football/ 3 star basketball they would bring their state, and fit geographically and would create a good pod with Pittsburgh, Virginia, Virginia Tech, but their online fanbase destroyed their chances without SEVERE reconciliation from their administration. 3. Cincinnati/UConn. Cincinnati would bring 3 star football/3 star basketball Ohio, rivalry with Louisville and could create a pod with Pitt and Notre Dame or Virginia, Virginia Tech. They have multiple BCS appearances and have an NFL stadium to alleviate their small on campus stadium for big games. UConn brings 5 star basketball/2.5 star football, but the damage from the lawsuit will have to be forgiven for UConn to get in. I think UConn should send a letter to the ACC asking what it would take to get that lawsuit forgiven. [/QUOTE]
