...it's 2018 and someone told you in the next several years... We'll have Cal, Stanford, SMU in the ACC... UCLA, USC, Oregon and Washington in the B1G... Arizona, Cincy, UCF, BYU, Houston, Arizona St in the B12... UConn football, Gonzaga and Utah St. in the Pac12 UConn basketball in the Big East...

I think just like they are waiting for us to wilt on the vine, the SEC and Big can wait for FSU to wilt. And they will as their resources are not P2. Or maybe Florida can add an FSU tax to fund them and keep them competitive with the big boys

If Clemson and FSU leave, which is very realistic and only roadblock being the grant of rights, then that downgrades the ACC a lot. UNC would be the next biggest brand and absolutely one the big ten would want. That leaves Miami and maybe VT as next biggest brands, and also the big 12 as a lot...

When, not if, this happens, I'll be tuning CFB out and focusing solely on NFL. It's bad enough that only the SEC and B1G get the majority of coverage. I can't even stand watching College Game day and I used to always start my day with it 15-20 years ago. Now it's trash and only focuses on two...

Nope. The PAC 12 is just playing the hand it was dealt. When the ACC opened this pandora's box morality and doing things "for the greater good" flew out the window. Anyone being critical of this PAC 12 situation is hypocritical.

...compensation for the conference They understand they can’t compete long term making 50% of the money if even lesser programs in the SEC and B1G This is exactly the problem faced by Texas , and USC . who didn’t have a GOR but mostly importantly it’s the situation faced by us UConn...

The NEWBE also has a UCONN problem. They desperately need someone else to step up and challenge us and be in position to replace us If we leave. I think in a perfect world they would love it to be Villanova then Georgetown, then Marquette. Those are all programs with history. After that...

The deal at major football and basketball programs with the non-revenue sports has always been that football and basketball pay for the whole program, so the rest of the sports put up with things like realignment where field hockey and volleyball teams travel halfway across the country for a...

No, they won't. The Big 10 is going to have few 7 PM Pacific Time (10 PM Eastern) or later games. And, there definitely won't be weekly games. Late games aren't good draws so the Big 10 media partners don't want the late starts for the price they are paying.

The teams that people actually want to watch are in the B1G now and they get those slots.

...will be needed. This could lead to Utah and other teams joining the ACC to build the ACCN revenues. At the end of the day, in 5-6 years if the B1G and the SEC decide to expand to 24 teams each, it will be at the expense of the ACC and the B12. UNC, NC St, UVA, VT, Clemson, GT, FSU & Miami...

...the B12 thinks doesn’t carry veto power. since UT left . The one who pays the bills with some reservations has the bulk of decision making powers . If Fox says we’re in we are in However Fox has a Big East problem The only conferences where a core group has significant power is the B1G and...

That's an illusion. It's a convenient argument that the B1G has held onto, but there is no legal prerequisite to be AAU to enter...

Seriously? Three teams is your answer. How many Sweet Sixteen teams? Three. B1G? 2, SEC? 2 Mic drop. However I could be slightly wrong due to two shots of tequila in my belly. Point is. Why bash our teams? We all know where we belong. Time will come.

...visions the flagship and elite academic schools are working towards. They are arent resting. Their ideas are near limitless. Does Mich plant this flag w/o the B1G footprint expansion, seems unlikely. UConn has been big thinkers the past decade....but there are another few rungs to...

...that mopped the floor with us 27-24. In my mind, FAU should be favored. They’ve got an FBS win already, beating FIU by 18. A close loss to a B1G team and a respectable loss to a pretty good Army team. If we beat them comfortably I’ll be both surprised and very encouraged. This is a great...

By the way, Nebraska is not an AAU school to the best of my knowledge, so...

On a team with Phil Nolan as a starting center and a freshman Amida as a backup. All time coaching job.

He's actually correct and your slant is 1000% wrong. Nothing funnier than a dude dropping the mike for no reason. The Big East will be elbowed out of the buffet line. I give it a decade. The big conferences see how much money is made from basketball and they don't want to share.

Just remember the GOR of the ACC will likely expire in 2030 under the new plan. Some of the remaining schools have strong basketball programs.

Even in an alternate history that had Penn State in the Big East, the day still would have come that the B1G would have offered PSU membership and the money would have been too good to turn down. The alternate history would have only delayed the inevitable.

It's pretty obvious they will break away at some point and all they care about is TV ratings/money. Eventually they will cut the fat within their conferences so they get their marquee matchups all the time instead of having to play Northwestern, Vandy, Minnesota etc.

Or not. JoePa wanted Eastern Football.

No AAU = no B1G. B1G wants UNC & UVA. I have read multiple places that SEC members like 16 teams and feel no pressure to add.

I don't think UCLA's non-conference slate is announced yet

MWC commish/schools wanted a gigantic slice of the PAC buyout money (from B1G and B12 defectors) to work with Oregon St and Wazzu. Oregon St and Wazzu then thought might as well just buy the top of the MWC, make a play at the AAC, and let the MWC fall apart and pick up the pieces if needed. MWC...

...Baylor vs UCLA game hasn’t yet been announced as part of UCLA’s non-conference schedule. A couple of months ago Cori Close did an interview at a B1G meeting in Palos Verdes in Southern California. She mentioned the Bruins playing in a neutral site game related to MLK Day which will get...

Really? You're bringing back that tired old canard? Sure, the B1G loves money. And that's why they're hoping some school beats the ACC in court so they can add UNC and UVA (or UNC and ND if ND feels it has to join a conference). FSU and Clemson don't fit academically or culturally and represent...

MD beat UConn by 43 MD lost to MSU by 3 so MSU = +46 over UConn MSU beat FIU by 6 so FIU is 40 points better than UConn There it is Transitive Theory at its finest. We are DOOMED!

I have a difficult time believing that tg he B1G would add a member who is clearly the second best asset in a state when they don't already have the best asset (U of Florida in in the SEC). I also highly doubt that the SEC has any desire to add a school to a market where they already have a...

This is stupid to me. U of Michigan can do some type of exchange student arrangement with UCLA or some other school in LA. Public schools should stay in their lanes, or boundaries, as it were.

It's been posted with regularity on these boards that there is really a P2 today. Your best teams don't sue to get out if you are truly a Power conference. It's too early but I think based on today's rankings the playoffs would include: 6 SEC 3 B1G 1 ACC 1 Big XII 1 MAC

...we would receive a tournament bid with a top seed. The issue is that it won't be long before the BE isca two bid league while both the B1G & SEC land ten to twelve schools in every tournament. When we have a season where we are the third BE school and are left out while Mississippi and...

I think we are less than 10 years, and possibly less than 5 years, from the first merger of public universities from different states. UConn is crazy not to approach the SUNY system right now, because the SUNY system is an obvious target and Penn State, Rutgers, or someone else will merge with...

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...
