ACC Presidents holding 7 a.m. conference call tomorrow to talk expansion

Found this on the Twitter, so it must be true:

@ACCSports: From David Glenn - ACC presidents holding 7 a.m. conference call tomorrow to talk expansion. Details to come

 

[MattMang23]

Oh .

 

[businesslawyer]

I have been on plenty of multi-party conference calls with many high powered people. I think once have I actually seen a call started at 7 a.m. eastern (not counting calls with people in Europe or Asia). I find it more than a little hard to believe.

 

[Jimdish255]

Will it be on PPV?

 

[ShakyTheMohel]

We need to get the participation code #....

I was thinking the exact same thing. I conduct a lot of my business via conference call and I can't imagine any of them starting at 7am unless he meant west coast time for an east coast meeting.

Conference calls at 7 am are actually fairly common for these folks.

They're busy motherf***ers...they hit the day running. Seriously.

We'll see you at 8am tomorrow to read the latest blog reports.

 

[MattMang23]

The news that Ville is one vote shy as of earlier tonight, followed by this, if true, could be really, really, bad for us.

We are screwed per his blog post

Now Glenn says it's Louisville or no one tomorrow morning. That's great.

Louisville already has indicated publicly and privately that it will accept an ACC invitation if it comes. Cincinnati, Connecticut, Navy and South Florida also have pursued ACC membership and indicated that they would join if invited. UConn and Navy also have received support from multiple ACC presidents, sources said, but only Louisville currently has a realistic chance at the votes required for an official invitation.

“Given the way the conversations have gone to this point, either Louisville will be approved for an invitation (Wednesday), or nobody will be approved for an invitation,” one ACC source said. “Any other result would be a major surprise.”

Supposedly GT, FSU, Clemson and BC are against us, per a connected Memphis poster. So much for sucking up to BC last year. Tobacco Road hating on UL, as expected. I smell a package deal.

Can someone tell me what we did to these people? Seriously. This gone beyond the point of disrespect at this point. They must detest us.

I said it here for weeks. I couldn't believe people on this board actually thought BC would be for us. Insanity. And that Warde was "buddies" with their AD? Please.

"We didn't want to be responsible for the dismemberment (complete) of another conference, so we are deciding to stay at 13 full memberships plus the prima donna at this time."

Show Pony Blumenthal at the direction of Convicted Felon Governor Rowland made a big public attack on the integrity of the ACC and its commissioner, as well as the administration of UM and BC. Now a glorified community college will be the turd in the academic punch bowl of the ACC. Never mind that Pitt and VT were both original parties to the suit. We get to own it.

Sounds this should be over soon. Brutal.

 

[SaeHusky]

im going to throw up

 

[MattMang23]

We lost to Louisville. I don't even know what to say. What more does UConn need to do to escape this shithole of a league? I seriously do not get it.

I might be done with college sports. Time to find a new hobby, because this one is destroyed for me.

 

[huskyniner]

Awful. We're officially f#@%ed.

 

[businesslawyer]

Awful. We're officially f#@%ed.

You need to look up the meaning of the word "officially"

 

[UConn Dan]

So you're saying we have a chance!
