Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1651180, member: 2585"] It's all tied up in TV dollars. All of the actual on field or court concerns are diluted in favor of eyeballs. Conferences want eyeballs so they have more leverage for more money. Nothing else matters. If football eyeballs start going down (concussions drag the popularity of the sport down) to a point where it's second to basketball eyeballs - then we are sitting pretty in an area that values BB in a conference that is probably worth the most (value). Either way - the ACC is positioned just fine. UNC and UVa are not going anywhere. And UCONN is where it should be: a third tier CFB conference. (If football doesn't drive revenue or becomes second to basketball - UCONN would be a natural ACC add. But the likely hood of all that is pretty small). [/QUOTE]
