Join the ACC in all sports but football, 5 football games a year against ACC, and part of ACC bowl game line-up, except for the Orange Bowl. Uconn has to get their own football tv contract and gets none of the ACC tv money for football.

Who knows, maybe UConn can sign a tv deal with NBC to be the home team on weeks when ND has a road game.

Why exactly would the ACC be interested in that?

Balance. Plus adding another big basketball program would help with the eventual ACC network.

WTF does balance have to do with anything? If anything it makes scheduling worse because it would force less games between members. Clemson played GT one time last year in baseball. It was in the ACC tournament.

The question is does UConn basketball bring enough in to make it worth the ACC's while. Considering the current payout they are receiving in the AAC I have my doubts. Remember that basketball brings in approximately 20% of the current ACC contract.

And remember that the reason UConn isn't in the ACC already is because their football brings absolutely no value to that side of the conference. Why would they then want to lock themselves in to a game with them every three years or so?
