I don’t see BC wanting UConn back. It would only hurt them adding a potential regional rival having to recruit against them. UConn was in a much better position years ago to get in compared to now. They haven’t been competitive in either major sport for a few years now.DfromCT wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 10:50 amYou are right, I root for the Huskies, even though there's at least 10 D1 basketball programs closer to my home than Storrs. But you might be very much in the minority that thinks there won't be re-alignment in the early to mid stages of the next decade. If you're right, at least Tulane is in the conference that's closest to being a "Power Conference". Looking at the big picture, however, I think the traditional rivalries, that are still very much alive, include UConn and BC, Syracuse, Va Tech and Pitt. To a lesser extent, UConn and Louisville were rivals. These schools would welcome UConn into the ACC with open arms. ND is stoutly against full membership. Having UConn in the conference would give the ACC a stronghold in the Northeast rather than a scattered 2 schools, they'd have three that reduce the geographic outlaying factor they have now.winwave wrote: ↑Sat Mar 23, 2019 9:34 amNot. First off as I have posted several times there will be no more expansion. It's done. People need to realize they need to make the best of their current situation because it's permanent. Secondly if somehow there was to be expansion Cincy with a much better football program and a now better basketball program would be ahead of them. UCF could also be ahead of them if they can continue to dominate the conference in football and continue to improve their basketball program. You might want to take off those hometown sunglasses.
UCF would be an interesting addition to the ACC, but traditionalists wouldn't welcome them. And I'm sorry, but UConn basketball will be back sooner rather than later under Danny Hurley.
FSU definitely won’t allow UCF in the same conference. And I doubt Louisville would want Cincy in as well because that’s another regional rival fighting to recruit against.
