If they wait out the ACC, they could probably have Syracuse and BC. Syracuse, BC, and UConn could then align their football programs with the MAC or Conference USA. I know having some football schools and some non-football schools is what caused the schism in the old Big East, but I'm not worried about that happening again. In the new world order of college football, BC, Syracuse, and UConn have no leverage at all.
