If football and revenue were completely out of the equation, just basketball and Olympic sports my preference (excluding B1G and SEC) would be: 1. ACC 2. Big East 3. Big XII ACC has as many "Big East" rivals as the Big East does at this point. Plus Duke, UNC, UVA, and NC State. Big XII is a...

The scheduling agreement makes sense for both conferences. Just look at the ratings of the games that feature SEC vs. B1G games already. Scheduling agreement Most interesting among the expected topics is a football scheduling partnership for the regular season as well as a reimagined non-playoff...

And weren't kicked out after losing it. In other words, there is no prerequisite. The B1G presidents loved the idea of it, I'm sure. But they love money more...

Can't speak to much else but realignment concerns would be entirely unaffected. B1G would give up ever playing basketball again to keep their FB media money if it came to that.

The B12 commissioner already basically proposed that the P4 get a larger share of the bids that everyone else. The ACC and SEC commissioners concurred. They also proposed being exempt from the play-in games. That was what the whole tournament expansion discussion was about, too. If there is...

The ACC would take Merrimack over UConn.

...USC, Texas, ND, UCONN, NC State, or UCLA right now. They lost too much and didn't bring enough back. Cambridge and Petty will not win them even a B1G championship. The loss of Sheldon and Taylor is huge on their defense, and I do not think it'll be anywhere near as good as it was last year...

Seems like the only metric he is going by is that the SEC and Big Ten pay their schools more. But Power/Autonomy status is an official designation. The PAC 12 had their's removed. Putting together a patchwork conference is going NOT to get them that back automatically.

It is still a power conference. It won championships in 2013, 2016 and 2018. In that stretch the B1G has won two. The old Pac hasn't won one since 2004 (and that was vacated). The Big XII last won one in 2005. Note that the Pac and Big XII schools that have won in this century are all in...

At this point, even if FSU were to somehow win, many believe neither B1G nor SEC would take FSU. So it seems FSU would still be stuck in the ACC. It could however leave the door open for others to leave. So maybe FSU's best bet is to say nevermind, we're good.

At this point I'm starting to think rankings don't matter that much because everyone bounces. The winner of the ACC gets to go to the CFP. If UConn gives that program a win every other year, so be it. They all need wins. Duke is ranked 70. No one is going to argue that Duke is 56 spots higher...

...think this helps UConn to the B12 at all Seems like this is the most likely outcome. ACC lawsuit plays out and a group of schools leave for the B1G, SEC, and B12. ACC is gutted, P12 adds Stanford and Cal to get back to 8 members, maybe more MW schools. MW will attempt to add Big Sky and MVC...

If basketball mattered. UConn would be in the Big 12 already, or even the B1G. But it doesn't. I don't see the ACC expanding if FSU and Clemson remain. Sadly, UConn football remains abysmal. Ranked 126 at this time.

In hindsight it looks like a horrible decision, but they were obviously a much better fit in the Pac and no one thought that conference would fully capitulate. There were always whispers of Washington and Oregon joining the B1G, but not much noise about anyone else potentially leaving.

...I really don't think anybody but the big XII wants FSU or Clemson. They are better off in the ACC. I think they'll get P2 money when the top programs break away from these conferences. The B1G would like FSU once they get rid of Indiana, Purdue and Northwestern (from a football perspective).

Do we have any reason to believe that neither the B1G or the SEC will take them?? I can't imagine any scenario where I would enter into a multimillion dollar litigation as an athletic department without having kicked those tires in advance. It would make zero sense to me. To me, it's more...

If they were to vote today- there is a good chance Nebraska would not be in the B1G10. I believe they lost AAU accreditation because the Medical School....which is high rated....moved

Yeah, that's why they added Nebraska.... because they fit culturally...

The wild card is the ratings increase in women’s basketball. We shall see if it’s strictly a Caitlin Clark phenomenon, or something larger. If the trend were to continue, then that would put a premium on the UConn brand, which would undoubtedly draw a large number of viewers, particularly with...

...on us became increasingly difficult. Individually that team was talented but as a unit incredible. We beat the , A10 Champs , The Big East Champs , The Big 12 Champs , The B1G Champs , The SEC Champs , and The hottest and talent loaded SEC runner up 3-4 HOF coaches. . No one has ever done that

Not going to happen. FSU/Clemson lawsuits are trainwrecks, and there is no certainty of available spots in the P2. No school is going to voluntarily pay exit fees/GOR settlements to make a lateral move to the B12. MAYBE FSU pays up to jump to the B10 or SEC, if either of those conferences...

...much more successful than many people expect. The Pac 12 brand still has equity and these new members won't be comparing their TV contract to the B1G and SEC but just trying to beat the MWC and AAC by a decent margin. I expect that Memphis, UTSA, Tulane and USF could all be invited from the...

If the resume is better, so be it.

It's that last sentence which seems impossible to do: As an Independent, pay players more and win. The ACC will likely be crap by the time it feels it needs to backfill with us, and the Big XII house will be overcrowded. I honestly think UConn has missed the boat,

Try reading it again. Recently the arguments have been about the sixth, seventh, eighth school from say the B1G, ACC, whatever vs the third or fourth school from the A-10, MWC. In a decade it will be the 14th B1G vs the third Big East. If you don't believe that this is what the plan is I...

There is no way any of Fox or ESPN is going to pay to have them join the Big or SEC after this. Neither of them need the headache. When you sue the people who pay you, the door is shut behind you.

And UConn goes to the B1G. No scoffing I think it's possible.

ND will take them with them to the B1G. People scorned me for saying that in the past, but just watch.

You have no idea how AAU works.

So in a 24 hour period you have the B12 publicly announce they are not looking to expand (after very public proclamations that they were), the B1G publicly say they are not looking to expand, and the networks say they have no interest in driving expansion. Quite coincidental, no?! Sure feels...

We don't know what things will look like in a decade. We don't even know if we'll be around. The deck has been stacked against us for a very long time. People on this board have been talking about us being dead in college basketball for over a decade and here we are dominating the sport...

yeah, other than filling up their massive stadiums every Saturday, and Michigan wining the national championship in football last year, they’ve pretty much sucked at the important sports.

I hope you’re right. That would make UConn and Ga Tech attractive adds. Even to the B1G.

The B1G is done expanding........until UNC and Virginia (and whoever they want to bring with them, maybe Georgia Tech and Miami?) are free from the ACC GOR. It is essentially that simple.
