When Commissioner Swofford ventured into New England and brought Boston college into the league it proved to be one of his biggest mistakes, It's obvious now that UConn would have been a better choice. I realize that there were murky legal issues that the Connecticut Attorney General raised but, still UConn would have been the preferred school. UConn is a flagship state school from a modest sized state albeit a very prosperous state. Just think of about all of the March Madness cash that the Huskies would have garnered for the league. The projected Boston College TV potential was/is real however BC doesn't manage to penetrate it to a degree that helps the ACC's bottom line. Also by now one could expect that the UConn football program would be looking better than what BC is.after all of these years. Looking ahead I sure hope that the ACC can survive, I've enjoyed it for 55 years. As for ESPN whom seems content to sit back and watch the ACC take arrows.....thanks old friend......there have been plenty of years that the ACC has been the number one content provider to ESPN. Each mutually helped the other grow. In this current environment ESPN refuses to speak a public word in the defense of the ACC. I understand that business is business but , this contract will eventually end and I hope the ACC shuns ESPN for greener pastures.If..the ACC survives that long. Looking ahead, how content are the midlevel schools in the Big 10 and SEC going to be when they realize that they will never win another trophy that matters, especially in football. Mizzou, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Tennessee, Miss State, Kentucky, Auburn...from the Big 10, Minnesota, Indiana, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Maryland, Iowa, Illinois, Michigan State , Nebraska and ..Gasp...Penn State. After about 10 years of getting crushed some of them might look to break away and start a more realistic league and If the ACC survives it could possibly add some schools at that time that are currently unattainable. In this current environment the ACC might be forced to dismiss some of it's small schools to compete at the bank. Competing on the field of play hasn't been the problem.

Indiana has Indiana and Purdue in the Big10 + they have to contend with Notre Dame, yet they have 3 million fewer residents than North Carolina. Michigan has both Michigan and Michigan State in the Big10, yet nearly a million fewer residents than North Carolina. Alabama, with 3 million fewer residents than NC, has both Bama and Auburn in the SEC, and Mississippi also has 2 SEC programs with 8 million fewer residents than North Carolina. I don't know that I fully buy the numbers game argument.
