Conversation about West Virginia-to-ACC makes sense if you ignore academics, Notre Dame's preference, TV markets:

I'm in the minority here, but, if Notre Dame joined and you needed a 16th, WVU would be awesome.

I'll reiterate that each league wants ND to join *their* league, NOT *a* league. B1G/SEC want nothing with ND in ACC

Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 5h5 hours ago
The biggest myth in realignment is that conferences want to "push" ND out of independence. Why would B1G/SEC want ACC competitor to get ND?

Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 5h5 hours ago
Big Ten and SEC would rather have Notre Dame be an independent forever over joining ACC for football. No reason to "push" ND anywhere.

Mark Ennis ‏@MarkEnnis 5h5 hours ago
@frankthetank111 but the ACC is in the at bird seat bc Notre Dame is contractually bound to them if they opt to join a league.

Agreed. That's why the narrative that other conferences are supposedly tired of ND's special treatment make no sense

Frank the Tank ‏@frankthetank111 5h5 hours ago
Any argument based on "If ND joins the ACC for football" is the realignment equivalent of saying "If my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle".

Mark Ennis ‏@MarkEnnis 5h5 hours ago
@frankthetank111 Notre Dame isn't going to join any other league. But they're not joining the ACC either.

Agreed. I deal with Domers everyday. Independence as a core school identity principle is beyond what most understand

I don't think the SEC cares about what conference ND joins. I think the B1G does.

You don't think the SEC cares if a conference that geographically overlaps it becomes stronger? Why in the world wouldn't they care?

The Big Ten won't geographically overlap the SEC.....especially by adding a program like Notre Dame that is 34 miles from Lake Michigan.

He's talking about the ACC.

I think they know that they would still be the best football conference no matter which conference ND would join. I believe the SEC is that arrogant regarding it's football prowess.

@Bluevodreal @UCONNfan14 I think B12 already decided to hold CC game with 10 members.

J ‏@UCONNfan14 4h4 hours ago
@micjame @Bluevodreal I wanted to see if he realized that but he hasn't...just like he hasn't figured the ACC GoR is real and lasts to 2027

Bluevod ‏@Bluevodreal 4h4 hours ago
@UCONNfan14 @micjame several schools belief no teeth based on no ACCN. FSU lawyers have cleared the way to challenge.

J ‏@UCONNfan14 4h4 hours ago
@Bluevodreal Have you been accurate with your predictions about conference realignment over time or mostly inaccurate?

Hey...if a guy thinks "ACC" and types "SEC"...what can I say...thank you?

You still aren't getting it. The SEC does care because ND is currently linked to ACC...and ACC overlaps geographically with SEC. That help?

Not in this case. The SEC could care less what ND does.

It might,but only if or to the extent that ND joining the ACC might strengthen or stabilize it enough (not saying it would) to resist any SEC attempt to raid the ACC.

Spoken like a true Domer. The SEC can and will do whatever it wants. I don't think they will lose sleep if UNC stays in the ACC because of NDs inclusion.

I think the P5 doesn't care about ND. If they did they would force them to join a conference because all they are now is a potentially attractive opponent and a potential playoff bid stealer.

Then again, no one has ever accused college administrators of being with the times. If the P5 members were smart they would force ND'S hand, unless they all hope the P5 eventually becomes the P4.

Did you miss all of the qualifiers I put in my statement?

Is there a need for this thread anymore? Expansion is over, and all this thread does is provide a forum for non-UConn trolls to dance on our grave.

While we remain in this non-key conf there will always be non-key tweets of interest. The passion may wain from time to time, but the fire will never go out. And that is because we will always be hunting for the tiniest non-key tweet to keep the fire going.

For instance, another car wash weekend is here! Oh Boy.
