Look at the dates. The ACC came in and decimated the Big East. When

you are regulated in a G5 conference, recruiting falls off the cliff. If the ACC were to add them today, and they had Pitt, VT, Louisville, BC, and Cuse coming to their stadium, what do you think would happen to their attendance and recruiting? If they then built an on campus stadium, do you think the alumni would have the money for NIL? Coaches? In todays world of seats at the table, do you think UConn, or any G5 schools would not make the investments to compete? Even now, watch Cuse, BC, Duke, Wake, GT, and others make a push to be at the top of their leagues. The ACC is top heavy now, but those that have taken their position in a power conference for granted, have got the message - loud and clear. How much you wanna bet that the ACC becomes much more competitive and less top heavy in the next few years?

I once believed in the potential of UConn football. They proved me wrong.

Busing students to games sounds like a terrible experience **

Isn't the stadium a long way from campus? Miles away?
EDGEMAN 08/29/24 05:34 AM ET
Their stadium is located on an old abandoned WWII airfield in East Hartford

Do you know if there is room on their campus to build a new stadium?
Sunsetunderground 08/29/24 11:58 AM ET
I don't believe so unless they are willing to demolish buildings or

Tearing down a football stadium to build a BB coliseum is very ACC...lol**

Exactly which has created a PR problem for UConn. Fair or not UConn is now
VTHokie2000 08/29/24 08:25 AM ET
Where will they build their next football stadium when they tear down...
EDGEMAN 08/30/24 05:50 AM ET
Since the State of CT owns the current stadium, it is possible the state
