Hello again, Huskies. Had a question regarding conference realignment.
Let’s say the Big Ten adds Notre Dame plus three PAC-12 schools and the SEC invites four ACC schools (e.g. Clemson, Florida State, Miami, North Carolina). At that point, the ACC is in a pretty weak position and there’s thought that the Big XII might look to add four ACC schools at that point as well. For discussion sake, let’s say those four are Georgia Tech, Louisville, NC State, and Virginia Tech.
In this scenario, the ACC would have six remaining members: Boston College, Duke, Pitt, Syracuse, Virginia, and Wake Forest. If the conference looked to add members and stay alive, do you think UConn would join if invited? Better yet, do you think the Big East would accept three football schools (Boston College, Pitt, Syracuse) if they were interested in returning? Perhaps we’d go independent in football and form a scheduling pact with the Huskies.
