It seems as if folks believe that realignment has settled, why? UConn's brand fits perfectly with the ACC and adds value (see below) that the league needs. What am I missing? Why does it matter if they add another school? How can people keep saying it is BC keeping them out, why can't BC just be overruled? WHo cares that schools can;t leave the ACC, UConn adds value and would not be another mouth to feed.

IMO, the latest round just came at the worst time for UConn because FBall was sputtering a bit and BBall was in the midst of post-season ban and instability as they were losing the guy who built the program from next to nothing.

The have:

-Solid and improving academics
-A top10 Bball brand
-Dedication and the $ to right he ship in FBall, plus comparatively fine assets, though I still don;t like the idea of not being on campus.
-Most importantly, as we say this weekend, THEY BRING NYC something that has to entice the ACC
-For the cherry, they have the best women's Bball in the nation

The run to the final four just might be the catalyst to entice the ACC. It sucks for the AAC as the success of UConn (IMO) is both a blessing and a curse.
