Usually the 3:30 pm game the ACC gets Boston

BC has increased the ACC penetration so well this year, case in point.

Take bc and shovem up the acc.

Looking forward to BC losing to NCST tomorrow. The air is coming out of BC's tire soon enough. Considering this is one of their best teams ever, next few years do not look good for the traitors.

Texan mark, you don't seem to be much of a Bigeast fan. Why do you spend your time here?

Blah, blah, blah. BC hasn't done anything for the ACC. These are probably the same people that said that BC added another "power" to the ACC, claiming that a program that routinely finished in the middle of the pack in the Big East was one of the Big East's "elite" teams.

Guys, guys, guys, don't brow beat Boston College. :) They are fine programs, who made the best move for their university. They are in a very prestigious competitive coference. Let's all be happy for them and wish them the best!

BC biggest problem is that they are by themselves, they would have been better off if Syracuse went with them instead of VPI.

Travel cost are going to skyrocket for their non revenue sports plus they had a much better chance of going to a BCS Bowl in the Big East instead of the ACC.

Throw in how the Big East has lost a LOT of TV Coverage in FLA this year (first time ever that most of FLA did not have a Saturday Big East Game on Free/Cable TV...3 times already this year!)

Of course BC brought more market coverage for the ACC to the Northeast...that was a no brainer.

TexanMark is a devoted Syracuse fan. He was being sarcastic about BC and the acc. :D

Not in the Miami-FTL area. Where the local channel 33 televises on free tv the Big East game of the week. So the Bulls and the BE have gotten weekly exposure down here.

As for BC, they made a choice and that choice helped USF gain entry into BE. So good for them ans us.

And long term good for the Big East. Mark my words, USF will be a much better program in about 5 years then the boys from Beantown.

In a rebuilding year they are already challenging for the league title.

I have been duly slapped. I will cut my dosage back to one pill.

No, proplem, Man!

Could the ACC be overated..............U Conn surely is'nt helping this issue. GT has their #######

That is funny. I'd have thought the GT/UVA game would've been carried in NE, but then again there has been this over-the-top hype concerning USC's trip to the site of their last loss. Never mind the fact Cal has suffered duly this season. Let's face it, everyone(sic) loves a winner, especially TV networks when that winner is setting/trying for records. Got to hand it to Coach Carroll, the Men of Troy are one stout bunch.

Just to clarify a couple points, BC's review of the move suggested travel costs will increase by roughly $200k-400k. Compared with the Nearly $3M increase in revenue they'll be getting once as a full member, well...

And they aren't in a rebuilding year, either. As seen in the <a href='http://www.collegefootballnews.com/acc/2005_Previews/2005_ACC_Preview.htm' target='_blank'>Collegefootballnews.com previews</a> BC returned 8-9 offensive players and most key defenders. It was suspected that if they beat FSU they'd win their division.

Maize, I may have mistook your "rebuilding year" comment. I thought you were speaking of BC instead of USF. If I misread it, my bad.

No problem.
