I think we took Louisville over them, which will probably be

a better long term decision.
Why we wouldn't have picked UConn over Syracuse or Pitt, I can't answer for. Broadcasting footprint maybe?

Cuse has a larger fanbase than UConn....

Cuse and Pitt have been good in football before, so maybe the thinking was they would get back to that someday, along with being good in basketball.

For Syracuse.
Had they picked up Uconn I think the acc fanship would have revolted.
Bc and Syracuse should have never been included. Pitt and NOtre dame is as far as I would have gone .

Because they have a joke of a football program with a ceiling that's close to ground-level. On the-rise in football, uh...yeah...sure thing. They bring nothing to the TV negotiating table.

Will more than likely be 16 if Notre Dame ever joins in football. Really no other good options.

Cinci, WVU, UCF, East Carolina, and UConn would be on our list to get to 16 with ND IMO.

Yet they still won a title after he left.
And the stuff at UNC is > that stuff in my opinion.

Reasons below.
Feb 10, 2015, 8:30 AM
|
|
BC did not want another New England school in the ACC; Syracuse brings the NY TV market; its football and baseball programs are generally bad; and they cheat in basketball (that is UNC's job in the ACC).

Their last 5 years go as follows:
2010 - 8-5
2011 - 5-7
2012 - 5-7
2013 - 3-9
2014 - 2-10
"Rise" I dont think that word means what you think it means.

UConn's case was hurt when the state AG decided to sue

the ACC when the breakup of the Big East began. They also sued some of the individual schools who are now in the ACC. Have to be careful when you start burning bridges.

Basketball is a pretty big sport too, when you're good at it.

Perhaps "rise" was a poor word regarding their football team, but I still maintain they are equal to the other scrubs the acc let in. UConn has won 13 national championships since 95 in men and women bball.Jim "Denny's Boehim and his cuse team along with pitt are has beens.As far as championships and appeal uconn was the much better choice in all sports than the other 2 yankee jokes, but i guess the acc has a tv footprint or whatever in that market.To me all that is his live video showing what type of jokes these schools are that now belong to the ACC!

They have no football fanbase and they suck. I would take ECU over them all day long.

Again, most of you have missed the point in the post. I wasn't saying Uconn is the best choice for expansion, they are far from it. But if you are bringing in 2 basketball teams(as we all know that is what the ACC did with the cuse and pitt) how the heck was Uconn not one of them.Maybe when the uconn women hoist #14 up in a few months a few of you will realize the other 2 slouches brings nothing to the table...can't wait for that clemson-cuse baseball matchup,lol

except your post was flawed. In what way is their football team rising. I listed their results above.
