And, if UConn can put together a decent football team, fans will come

UConn is the only addition to the ACC that makes sense on the East Coast. It would help them become competitive in football and would potentially greatly increase ACC following in New York and New England. They would enhance the Up East rivalries, including Syracuse, Boston College, and Pittsburgh.

Well, there is West Virginia--- which I still believe would be good for ACC sports, if one can get over academics and WVU can calm fan behavior. Don't they have a pretty good following nationwide? WVU is no substitute for UConn.

No longer is it just about new cable hook ups, it's also back to # viewers -- Stech 06/03/2016 07:32AM

Cable hook-ups has always been a flawed strategy. SEC & B1G can get away -- Colonel Jessup 06/03/2016 11:50AM

Except that B1G is in a geographic area where everyone is leaving ** -- BigCrumpy 06/03/2016 1:06PM

Those states will still be growing...... -- Old Line Hokie 06/03/2016 3:00PM

That only matters to a point. The fact they have more living alumni -- reestuart 06/03/2016 1:10PM

UConn, BYU, Navy, Air Force, Army and Tulane. ** -- DMaroonHokie 06/03/2016 11:02AM

I love Navy but lets agree the ship sailed 20 years ago ** -- BigCrumpy 06/03/2016 1:08PM

The Navy hasn't used sails for much longer than that. ;-) ** -- WuhBuh-DC_Hokie 06/03/2016 1:40PM

That's not 100% true. The USS Constitution is still a commissioned ... -- Atlee Hokie 06/06/2016 05:01AM

The heck you say! They still do. -- KnoxHokie 06/03/2016 3:26PM

UConn, UAB, UCF ** -- VictoryTurkey 06/03/2016 10:47AM

Even though their sports are down at this moment, I'd still want Tulane -- Victor Tango 06/03/2016 09:19AM

Love Nawlins myself, but hard pass on Tulane.... -- Hokies4Life 06/03/2016 11:39AM

Now that Tulane has a stadium on campus, I am not sure -- VTHokie2000 06/03/2016 11:20AM

You want Tulane...for what? ** -- marcbvtgm 06/03/2016 11:13AM
