I think my issue is that I'm valuing more than college football, and that's against the grain.   The ACC does a lot of other stuff well, and the ACC Network is certain to showcase more of this other stuff.   ACC football is the best its ever been right now.  So I wasn't as concerned about a football power.

I understand UConn's role in College Football.  They have less than 15 years in FBS.  And you're right.  In the Northeast for college football there is Notre Dame and Penn State.  No one else drives much outside of their living alumni, and no one else packs large stadiums or sends large crowds to bowl games in the entire region, not just New England.

The ACC has a piece of Notre Dame.  That carries the water for the ACC somewhat in the fall.  But I'm not sure much of New England or the northeast for that matter watches the other Notre Dame sports passionately in the region.  The ACC has winter and spring to worry about too.  It could be worse though.  The ACC could be stuck with Rutgers who doesn't bring football, and they don't bring anything else.    I'm glad we passed on that for sure.
