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.
