come on, lets keep it in reality.
Does the BE get cash or a team to be named later?
The ACC isn't expanding beyond 14 without ND or Texas as one of the teams. If the ACC wanted RU and UConn they would offer them now and be done, but they want a big fish. If ND is forced into a conference ACC or B1G then at most 1 of them will be invited. If for some reason ND went into the B1G then the ACC wouldn't add RU and UConn they don't add anything. This whole 16 team conference BS isn't going to happen. The B1G cares about rivalries and tradition they won't add schools just to get to 16 teams they will only add teams that are a national brand and add value to the BTN. The B1G did a study on RU, UConn, SU, Pitt, Mizzou and determined what value each would bring the conference they concluded none of RU, SU, UConn brought enough of the NYC market to justify expansion. ACC said they weren't opposed to 16 if they could get a brand school not UConn or Rutgers.
Kaiser I don't get why you think so highly of Jersey state. They aren't more valuable than WVU or Louisville. I realize their state produces talent, but Jersey State hasn't finished higher than 3rd in the WORST BCS conference and their basketball is awful hell even UConn brings more value than Jersey State they are a sleeping giant that hasn't ever woken up. If Jersey State was so valuable the ACC would have picked them over us or Pitt.
this is ridiculous on so many levels.
Kaiser I gotta say sir, I agree with a lot of the positions you take and we agree about 90% of the time. I respect your bash aholeness and hope to develop my own streak as I get older. I channel my inner Kaiser when dealing with PDs in the DA's office.
If you think UConn was more valuable then you would be hearing about them in this expansion talk. UConn has never been brought up by the B1G last year it was Nebraska, Notre Dame, Missouri, and Rutgers. UConn is begging to get into the ACC and weren't a target. Even the B12 expansion talk is focusing on Louisville, Cincinnati, West Virginia, TCU, and even Rutgers mentioned. UConn is a way better basketball school(probably top 5 nationality)than Rutgers, and I even believe you guys have passed them in football, but your attention seeking AG now Senator KILLED your school with ACC. The ACC is in the only conference that would be interested in UConn, but because you guys torched Boston College, and Miami they aren't going to do any favors. When you guys filed that lawsuit(btw WestLaw the case in Blumenthal's complaint he torches Schalala don't think she has forgotten that) guess which school stayed completely out of it? The answer is Syracuse and guess what our relationship with ACC leadership remained well above cordial. Good luck in the future, but while your President is doing everything she can to get you guys into the ACC its severely unlikely you guys get in unless you guys could get Notre Dame.
