Perception is a funny thing. I find the SEC justified to say what they want. I find the other three conferences arrogant. (and that one golden domed independent too)The SEC and Sankey are pretty arrogant...but they have reason to be....they have won more football national championships since 2019 than the Big Ten has won in 50 years.
I thought it made more sense for the pac4 to join BE in everything but football. If you have them 4 plus Gonzaga. Then creighton Marquette an DePaul. You have a decent western side to go with the eastern side of BE. The rest go Indy for football which helps UConn. Plus it really helps BE baseball and women’s basketball
Where did you read that about Wisconsin refusing to play FSU over their name?The SEC (and like schools) embrace football. Football is a regressive phenomenon of a capitalistic bourgeois culture (tongue in cheek).
There are some schools more caught up with the woke preoccupations that go along with the avant garde of higher ed in the 2020"s.
Although I joke, there are culture differences....Stanford and their tree are an awkward fit with a school whose teams are named after a tribe. (Incidentally, the University of Wisconsin stated that they would not schedule a game with FSU until they changed their name).
(just wait until folks find out that LSU Tigers took their name from the Civil War brigade, the Louisiana Tigers.)
The only way it makes sense is if it accelerates the renegotiation of the contract in results in a significantly higher amount then we could get otherwise.Why in the world would the big east basketball schools want to go that.
It puts us in a panic.What happens if Big12 invites St. Johns along with Gonzaga to Big12? ....

You can worry about that when Leo DiCaprio starts dating women 20 years older than him.What happens if Big12 invites St. Johns along with Gonzaga to Big12? ....
Why not a football only conference that expressly doesn't offer basketball of the following?With 5 members (Pac 4 + UConn), they'd only need 3 more to keep the football conference alive.
I'm not worried about losing St John's. I don't see the B-12 moving that far east and even if they do, St John's wouldn't be much of a loss.What happens if Big12 invites St. Johns along with Gonzaga to Big12? ....
Every other school makes business decisions but UConn has to stay in big east.Andrea Adelson ESPN....responding to Notre Dame's Swarbrick.
Every other league makes biz decisions on realignment but the ACC should be charitable and not abandon two of the best academic institutions in the world? From a school that does not play football in said league facing significant revenue gaps w/SEC, Big Ten. Make it make sense.
Been more wrong then right the last few weeks....if there are meetings, we should see a fresh round of leaks by tomorrow evening.
He was accurate this time around, so I would not completely ignore him.MHVER...LOL....another West Virginian in the cottage industry of tweeting from his basment.

Disagree.He knows nothing.
crud, meant to say more right than wrong.He has been a lot more right than most of the actual sportswriters. I can't take any more Sheer tweets trying to cover every possible base.
No he hasn’t. He just throws everything out there that is plausible that he gleams from other sources.He has been a lot more right than most of the actual sportswriters. I can't take any more Sheer tweets trying to cover every possible base.

That's pathetic if true.
The big 12 would never be able to pay St. John’s enough money to make it worth leaving the big east.. the travel would be awfulWhat happens if Big12 invites St. Johns along with Gonzaga to Big12? ....
