[QUOTE="Legal Jacket, post: 177676, member: 601"] UConn would be a great add and fits with everything the ACC has tried to do. Pretty much all of the recent additions have been, at least in part, because of basketball - Louisville, Pitt, ND, Syracuse. Navy's basketball is so bad I can see that keeping them from an invitation. UConn won a national championship two years ago and is elite. You don't pass up those opportunities, PARTICULARLY when Navy doesn't add much in football. We are already in the one state over DC market because of Virginia and VT. It's not like Navy has some giant foothold in the DC market. In fact, from the data I can find online, Maryland by far has the biggest presence in DC, followed by VTech, Virginia, Penn State, Michigan, and Notre Dame. Navy is WAY down the list. Under a decent coach, UConn was an 8-9 football program for a number of years and made it to a BCS game. So their ceiling is higher than Navy's anyways. Funny you mention TV ratings, because the closest thing I can find has UConn rated ahead of Navy in TV ratings by one spot.

While I like Navy, it doesn't bring us much other than an average football team that runs the same offense as us. At least with UConn we get an elite basketball program which, despite your protestation otherwise, is a primary focus (and, in fact, the founding focus) of our conference.
