Supposedly the revenue would not be equal but either way I don't see the big schools agreeing to this.I love how no one wants to address the revenue aspect of this. Like you really think the P2 are gonna be like “yeah let’s all negotiate one big contract with ~45 other lesser programs”?
yeah that makes sense, they want to create a world where they can't be removed. i saw on reddit the notion 'well we need to do this so we don't go bankrupt' and I'm like "uh huh... sure..."The bottom end P4 schools are spearheading this. The tell: they can't be relegated, and they are officially on the same level as the Alabamas of the world. It's not happening.

Nails it ...

I think this is ultimately the last play UConn will make. Just have to wait to see how the ACC lawsuits play out.He basically laid out why UConn has to do whatever it can to get into a P4 conference. Take a partial share or no share like SMU for a while, etc. Beg them to let you in, make offers they can't refuse, etc.
It's not about chasing football riches. It's about protecting basketball. The Big East has a shaky future.
The ACC has regrets about not adding UConn?Friedlander: The ACC messed up by not adding UConn earlier. Don’t blow it again
The ACC has hurt itself by passing UConn over in its 3 previous rounds of realignment. It can't afford to keep making the same mistake.www.saturdaydownsouth.com

Prove it.

This article shows two things
1. Most of the realignment has been all about the right place at the right time. Louisville, BC, Cuse and Pitt peaked at the absolute right times while UConn hit one of its biggest obstacles at the wrong time.
2. The author is clearly basketball-focused and fails to understand that football drives the bus. How people don't get that by now is beyond me. Southern footballs schools drive the ACC bus until they decide to run it off the cliff.
We might get an ACC invite once it has been picked by the vultures. Unless football is still valued greater then look for Memphis, Tulane and USF to take priority. Academics do not matter ... only football.. see Ville.
But not so tremendously as to offer the six-time and back to back national champions a slot.The ACC pretending basketball doesn’t matter isn’t a great idea when the B12, the only conference they are really competing with, values it tremendously.

#2. The author absolutely understands it's all about football. My feeling is, the ACC and Big 12 are fighting losing battles because they will never ever win the football battle. So win at something else. That's this guys point.This article shows two things

I'd be curious if bad football/lower p4 programs still out-earn and add greater TV revenue than p4 top-level basketball. Curious about the numbers for say Kentucky, Kansas, Cuse, Indiana, Virginia etc#2. The author absolutely understands it's all about football.

Friedlander: Be like UConn? It's time for the ACC to stay in its lane and start focusing on hoops instead of football - Saturday Road
UConn's basketball success is the blueprint. The ACC can't compete financially with the SEC and Big Ten in football. So why keep trying?saturdayroad.com
"everything that has happened in college athletics over the past decade....has been centered exclusively around football"
"maybe it’s time for the league to stop chasing its tail and get back to its roots. And start concentrating on doing what it has always done best. Playing basketball"
