Those announcers who said we will not be able to "own" the Garden after we go to the ACC, imo are completely wrong.  I would be SHOCKED if we didnt schedule 1 or 2 neutral court games per year at MSG.  Also MSG holds 2 or 3 pre-conference tourneys per year of which I would also be SHOCKED if we werent in one.  Swofford has already spoke of a round robin ACC tourney in which NYC, whether its MSG or Barclays will be the host.

The ACC will become the premier eastern basketball conference, and most likely the premier basketball conference in the country with the Big 3 of Cuse/Duke/UNC, thats more "brand" than any other basketball conference has.  A major reason for the addition of Cuse was to gain the northern markets, specifically NYC.  Im pretty sure we dont have to worry about Cuse not being covered like it is now in NYC...Syracuse will work out a deal with a tri-state network, im sure of this.  We dont brand ourselves as "New York's College Team" with the NYC skyline as the background only to lose our NYC stronghold, something numerous alumni and transplants in the area would riot over.  As for ACC games being broadcast like Big East games are now in NY/Philly, I expect a huge ACC basketball push to own the Eastern Coast and become THE college basketball conference.

Im summary...im not worried.
