UConn is not getting much support out of Big Ten land.Mark the Big Ten isn't stupid. They are evil but not stupid they didn't take UConn for the Big Ten Network. CT is a small population state IT WOULD NOT HELP THE ACC Network.
The ACC Network is doomed because of ESPN losing profits and Disney wanting them to scale back expenses. Adding itty bity ole UConn isn't going to cause ESPN to change its mind. UConn in the ACC right now does nothing but piss off Clemson and Florida State with an Northeast football school they want nothing part of and reinforces the notion the ACC only cares about hoops and not football.
The ACC is done with expansion unless the Fraudulent French make a decision they will never make.
The only conference that could expand in the near future is the B12 if they are forced to get to 12 teams for a CCG.
UConn isn't going to be invited into the ACC it makes no sense right now and ticks off the big dog football schools.

And then this:

@BennettESPN@ESPN_BigTen Will the @bigten risk losing @UConn to the @Big12Conference and a chunk of the valuable northeast TVs with it?
Brian Bennett: See, I think the fear would be actually getting stuck with UConn football in the league.
