I'm not sure why this would be a good thing for the ACC if the Big XII further increases its presence in the ACC footprint. With WVU in there, I've already seen increased Big XII presence in Virginia that wasn't there before.   We have a lot of WVU fans in Richmond.  I'd much rather see them as ACC rivals than be looking at Big XII games all the time.

I don't know if the Big XII wants to come as far east as Connecticut, but given what the ACC has been trying to do in the northeast, I don't think it would be good to see the ACC sit back on its laurels with our new ACC Network coming and let the Big XII come in and plant a flag in New England by taking a whole state.  And I do think UConn is widely supported in Connecticut.

Rutgers didn't bother me because less than 15% of college football fans in New Jersey follow Rutgers.  In Connecticut it's about 65% following UConn.  These are according to the New York Times fan map.

Maybe it is just me, but I'm looking at the region more than a football team coming into the ACC.
