Wondering if the B1G even raised their eyebrows at this UConn to B12 talk? Wouldn’t it be interesting if Dave got a call from ol l KM l

Whatever just a stopgap anyway until the NCAA eventually dissolves and we beg for mercy at the feet of our new SEC and B1G overlords

Ok pump the breaks, AllHusky.

After taking Texas and Oklahoma, the SEC has no interest in other B12 schools, even of they were available. They add no $ value. I would imagine the folks at the Big Ten feel the same way.

Could be. I doubt that FSU or Clemson were in the original plans, but neither the B1G (non-AAU) or SEC (don't need 'em) will take them.

...junior players ( WHL, OHL, QMJHL) get paid, all the rest of the leagues are a step below and don’t get paid. For college athletics the SEC, B1G, B12, ND, and for now the ACC can be the “major” division of college athletics for all sports. Those schools financially can compete with each...

...this, but I firmly believe that UConn entering the Big 12 now will enhance certain ACC schools in the future to feel better about joining if a B1G/SEC invite isn't available. I believe our east coast location, our academics and our championship DNA will matter to other East coast institutions.

Once again, academics are meaningless in conference realignment. If they B1G wanted them, they would get them into the AAU.

Agree with all of that. Of course, if we were to win, the narrative wouldn't be about how we are showing that we're P4 ready, the narrative would be that Maryland stinks this year.

...during losing seasons. They would add massive value to either of the P2, and both of them know it. Don't believe any of the nonsense about the B1G or SEC not being interested. They're just waiting for the legal mess to clear up, whenever that is. I would wager the B1G even makes an exception...

A win over a B1G team does not have to be against OSU. ”great moments are born from great opportunity” this is an opportunity to make a mini statement and shut some people up for at least a week. And I would say that should we somehow steal this one, it will lead to a solid year.

If this deal goes through, we will be an enticing factor to bring in some of the ACC eastern schools that don't get picked up by B1G and SEC. The ACC is toast and I’m here for it

...and potential Largesse. You think Syracuse's problem is that they hold themselves in such high regard that they consider themselves worthy of a B1G invitation? I've read more than a few posts in the Bone Yard which fantasize about UConn being worthy of the same, bloviating about its status...

I’ve been saying for some time, the ACC being raided/dissolved is increasingly unlikely even with FSU and Clemson throwing their public tantrum.

...game right now and the league could own college basketball. That said, other Big12 decision makers may believe the league can compete with the B1G and SEC if they add Clemson, FSU, Miami, etc for football and that is more important now and for the long term. He may have accurately...

Why wouldn’t they go to the B1G and get a bigger check?

For the record, UVA is a better school (based on academic standing) than UNC. Both are likely far closer culturally to the B1G than the SEC. Based on culture of alumni base and student body Va Tech & NC St are closer to SEC schools than UVA or UNC. I doubt the SEC has much interest in either.

Once they get the 12th vote, it will be unanimous. Only the B1G had negative votes when PSU was invited. All the other additions were unanimous.

I’m holding out for an AAU invite then a B1G invite.

Do you really think anyone here wants to bother reading any more of your farm reports Mr Kimball? Check in with the gang over at Druckers Store.

The Big East will end up irrelevant when the music stops and chairs are filled. The power brokers will have their own basketball tournament, with a few invitations to outsiders, but keep most of the money.

The management decisions both in coaching hires and building an off campus stadium have been mind boggling. At this point the SEC and the B1G have their pick of ACC and Big 12 teams when they become available. There will be no realignment without network approval.

The Big XII doesn't need to be on the same playing field as the B1G and SEC. It just has to dwarf the ACC. That's why going wide and in large numbers makes sense for the Big XII as long as it can get household brands.
