Is this a ‘Key Tweet’ or ‘Non-Key Tweet’. 😂😆😏

I thought same thing. Apparently CT and RI are in metro region with NY and NJ. Both NE and Metro regions held tourney in Bristol, CT

Fair points. The schools could fit in either conference. I just think Big is a better fit, especially UVA.

I agree on SEC getting their choice. The issue with UNC and UVA is that they aren’t football schools in the SEC mold. If you look at who SEC has added, they’ve been very selective in going after football schools in a geographic region. I get Clemson and FSU are redundant to Florida and USC...

I’m thinking about how those conversations will go. Let’s just the number is $1B…. I’m thinking, $1.1B and you get UConn/Kansas maybe twice a year, UConn/Arizona maybe twice a year, UConn/Houston maybe twice a year and UConn/Baylor potentially twice a year. Then you also get UConn another...

Umass playing GA and Missouri in same season certainly helps. On the flip side, UConn had MD, Syr, Duke and WF. Unless you factor the opponent and lift or no lift from average these figures are meaningless.

If AcC is raided but Cal and Stanford stay, I could see AcC taking top 4 from PAC (Boise, WSU, OSU and SDSU). That plus SMU is a strong western wing. Assuming who is left on east coast, UConn and maybe USF or Tulane. That would likely keep ACC in top 4 and again depending on who is left...

Leagues exist beyond coaches. Any decision made because of a coach is silly.

If the games mean something people will show up. If UConn can make a little noise in the national conversation people will show up. It’s just a bit harder with this independent schedule. Playing lower to mid P4 mixed with regional rivals like UMass and BC seems to be working for now. At some...

100% agree which is why this could make sense. They don’t have to deal with fb. But, they could benefit from strong bb schools who also want to play FB but are outside of P4 structure. reality is, UConn is not like minded to any of the other BE programs. My only point is that there could...

My comment didn’t weigh how hard or easy it would be. I just stated that the Big East needs to do something. Leveraging their BB brand to grow with a few BB schools that play football could be an option. Especially if the FB is in another conference and if said conference was willing to work...

I think if PAC could get side deal with BE to park all sports, Memphis, UConn and Temple would be interesting FB only adds. I’d throw in USF, but not sure BE would want that BB. JMU athletics have been on an upswing and is a great FB school. I think something to get BE some exposure would be a...

The ACC has never been pro-active. Except when it destroyed the BE.

Yes. And I don’t think it’s a coincidence that these P4 are largely ACC games.

The point here is what exactly?
