RE: Question for UCONN fans

I agree that UCONN will be P5 soon, but not the big 10 because they aren't An AAU, and don't have wrestling. Big is the only conference where having wrestling is a requirement, and AAU could take another 10 years at least. UCONN is a perfect match for the ACC and most likely school from the AAC to move up in next few years.

UConn will not be in the ACC unless ND says they'll join as a full member only if UConn is #16.
What are the odds of that happening? Not great.

or if the ACC is raided by the B1G again (virg/ga tech) and then the ACC has to backfill
or if the ACC launches a network and wants more markets
I don't think either scenario have a high percentage of happening but either are possible and either scenario are more likely to happen than ND joining for fb.
