    And remind Brett Yormark. Brett Yormark in July 2023: "We also aren't just a football conference. On the basketball front, we've got to bring the product to all the right places, and New York is the place for it. I want us to have a big moment in New York."

    C.W. Lambert@InsideTheBig12 Serious post... been saving this one... don't want the blowback. As of today, ESPN plans to pick up the option on the ACC's contract. Why?

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    What did he say to the fanbase about UConn possibly joining the ACC or Big12? I don't recall him saying anything. There was some talk of recruits being told things; not sure where that was coming from. But I don't think Mora said anything publicly about it, until the Big 12 was obviously not...

    Hurley said it was not guaranteed to him by Benedict and Herbst.

    ACC replacement list: UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Washington State, Oregon State

    I think he's talking about this guy. This guy said that ESPN is not going to extend the media deal. The GOR ends when the media deal isn't extended. He says that the ACC has been given an ultimatum. They have been told to settle with FSU and Clemson prior to June 30, 2024 or FSU and Clemson...

    I want to have some hope, but I think they would take the ACC schools before us, too, simply because they are P4 schools. All this talk about UConn will die down in a month, if not sooner.

    Jim Mora: Something feels different

    Don't we need a partner? And wouldn't that be the same with the Big 12? If we're talking about when the ACC breaks up, that could take a long time, if it even happens.
