Agree about WBB at UConn.

Beyond that, I don't think UConn gets added to the ACC in the forseeable future. The ACC already has northeast corridor penetration via Syracuse and Boston College. Sure, UConn is closer to NYC, but the value-added on top of Cuse isn't there.

Basically, the ACC was interested in New York, but it was a case of either Syracuse or UConn fulfilling that role, because they didn't need both, and the ACC went with Syracuse. Just like the B1G had the same issue, and chose Rutgers over UConn. That leaves UConn out in the cold, because there isn't another power conference with geographical interest in NYC, and that's basically what UConn brings.
