    Conference Re-alignment Bombshell

    This thread would be perfect for the WVU Scout realignment board circa 2010 or so--that's how sad it is. The OP does seem to have a legit (if occasional) posting history of UConn fandom, though some realignment trolls play the long game.

    UConn in the ACC - Virginia Tech forum

    For the future of your misbegotten* sports league. *"Misbegotten" felt right here, but I had to look it up to be sure. 1. Badly conceived, designed, or planned. 2. Contemptible. Yep, it fits!

    UConn in the ACC - Virginia Tech forum

    If you guys ever get to the ACC I'm sure you'll be relieved. But I hope you don't act like Cuse fans and pretend the ACC was where you wanted to be all along. That league 1. destroyed your happy home and 2. exiled you to AAC Island and picked a frigging community college over you. I hope you...

    Jon Rothstein -- UConn will heavily explore joining another league in the offseason

    I have this fantasy that Fox notices how hard ESPN's not very big Mondays suck now, realizes that with the AAC they'll have most of the former Big Monday schools in their portfolio AND a decent quality football league, gives us all a raise and does some corporate synergy to create some Nü Big...

    Commentary Thread for Premium Top-Shelf Tweets

    (notes that Temple is still on the list) (notes that Philly is still roughly equidistant from Storrs and Morgantown) Also--poor poor Memphis. Not even FedEx bribery kept them on the list.

    Commentary Thread for Premium Top-Shelf Tweets

    I believe Temple is also one of the teams whose departure would cause the contract to self-destruct. UConn and Cincy were thought to be the next to go, and I guess Houston and Temple have two huge markets. I'm glad someone at Temple is talking about the Big XII (re: the article in the top shelf...

    Temple Should Be At The Top of The List for Big 12 Expansion

    The only people who might refer to Philly as "the sixth borough" with a straight face might be real estate agents trying to sell it to Brooklyn professionals. If you're from the area you understand how little New York influences Philly, despite it being a relatively quick train ride away...

    Big East beats ACC again!

    Swofford spent fifteen years trying to destroy the Big East, and now his failure is complete, to repurpose a phrase. (I spent some formative years in North Jersey and Rhode Island in the 80s and was a fan of the league more than any single one of the teams involved, if that makes sense. As a...

    Tim Brando: "I think AAC Expands"

    Yes, Aresco is a pal of his. Not that I want to spend a lot of time parsing a Tim Brando tweet (I think he's mostly non-key) but--"latch on"? He wants the G5 to "latch on" to the AAC? I see all the definitions of "latch on" above and I still don't understand that sentence. (To give him a...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Wait, you can't actually type "GSwaim" on this forum? That's awesome. (If the above in quotes just says G I'm referring to the Dude of Minnesota.) EDIT: Now he's filtered to GS. Where's the respect for the Internet's foremost non-key realignment expert???

    Not to police your right to expression or anything, but a GSwaim tweet is unambiguously a non-key tweet.

    I'm surprised UConn wasn't #1...guess that baseball run USF had plus the off year for men's BB made the difference.

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Yeah, the trouble with Temple is not the football and basketball--it's that the rest of the athletic department is soooo bad. Someone on the AAC forum posted the final Director's Cup standings and while I think the Director's Cup is a joke as a competition it is a good proxy for athletic...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    I think it's not that they're a package deal, it's that the hangers-on in these relationships--Okie Lite to OU, KSU to KU, Texas Tech to Bevo--have to be taken care of. They can leave but either 1. the XII needs to stay in the Cartel or 2. the hangers-on need to go to other Cartel leagues.

    FSU trustees express concern about ACC's status

    Do they think they can shake down Disney for more cash with this strategy since it worked last time? Or force them to create another unprofitable network (joining the LHN.)

    UNC and Wake to Play Non-Conference Football Game

    Couldn't they just, you know, redo the divisions so ACC Stars 'n' Bars is in one division and ACC Northern Aggression is in the other division? You know, classic ACC plus one of Ga Tech/FSU in one and former Big East plus one of Ga Tech/FSU in the other. The divisions don't actually matter in...

    OT - Julie Hermann continuing to act like scum

    She's terrible. And the Julie deadenders on the RU Rivals board--I can't figure them out. I think it's part of their war with the Star-Ledger--if the SL say one thing, they think the opposite, and so Julie's screwups are the SL's fault for reporting them--but hatred of the local rag alone...

    NewsOk: The Big 12 Conference should have listened to Kevin Weiberg

    We would all have been better off had the Pac-16 happened. 5 Cartel leagues still as the B12 and BE remnants would have merged, and the networks would have overpaid for that hot mess too. Nobody left out at the very least.

    Remember when NBC was going to save the Big East with a megadeal since they were the last BCS conference without a contract? Yeeeaaaahhhh... Stimpy, for the record, I don't get you.

    Kentucky to the ACC?

    I don't think the timing really suggests anything...it's just sort of an interesting curiosity that there was actually a time when any SEC school would consider leaving, and for the ACC at that.
