Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 34659, member: 652"] 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. [/QUOTE]
