do you agree that there are at least five FB schools who would leave for the first good offer?

Nope. Not in May 2012. In October 2011, absolutely.

OK, so if tempted by better offers Louisville, Cincy, Rutgers and UConn would all choose to stay? Boise State will stay for FB if they can't find a spot for their olympic sports?

Temptations. THe proverbial 40 days and 40 nights, until the big east hits the open market. We shall see. My answer to your question? my opinion is....yup.

UConn was a big part of the problem here in terms of trust. UConn could not have handled expansion any worse, and that is why UConn is on track to be the biggest loser in this entire round of realignment.

I really wonder about you. If you mean that UConn should have been in the back room with the Liars all along, I disagree with you. Do you mean something else?

Fair enough. I don't agree. I think we both want what is best for UConn.

I think every single football school would jump in an instant if they could get into one of the following: Pac 12, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, or ACC. Well maybe not Navy. But everyone else would.

I´ve become emotionally invested in seeing it get to 1000 posts. Make my dream come true.

If the Big East were to get a decent media contract, the schools could afford to be loyal. Until that happens, they are at a competitive disadvantage when compared to other BCS schools. The samart move is to leave for the cash and stablility. With cash, however, comes stability. The next contract will tells if the league survives or not. That's why the powers that be have been working so hard to make sure it doesn't. That's also why the Big East could afford to give Marianetto another chance to prove that he's competetant.

Not that it really matters but is UConn the only team holding the ACC back from getting the ACC basketball tournament to MSG? It seems like UConn would be the lynchpin to making that happen.

Reality is holding the ACC back from getting its tournament in MSG.

We should just merge all the FSU threads into this one, since FSU is still in the ACC for now.

my bod thats brilliant

 

[huskypantz]

If UConn happened to be admitted to the ACC, would we have to merge all threads into this one?

MSG would want the tournament on an annual basis. Swofford & company treat that tournament like a boomerang travelling road show. It's been in the Georgia Dome, but it always finds its way back to Greensboro. I don't think that the Dolans would accept it on a part time basis.

Didn't the BE sign a long term deal with MSG for the tourney? Unless the BE disappears completely the ACC will never play there. They may try for Brooklyn though but that isn't "The Mecca".

No, but a state of the art brand new arena ain't a bad place to be, either...

 

[junglehusky]

A-10 is signed to have their tourney at the Barclay's. Maybe the A-10 will go for Newark? Hempstead? Albany?

 

[CTGoonie]

If Uconn joins the ACC I wouldn't mind alternating the tourney between Boston and Charlotte. The remnants of the BE can keep MSG.

 

[specialisthusky]

we're starting to sound like cuse fans in this thread!

If UConn ever joins the ACC, unfortunately nothing will change and we will be North Carolina's biatches for a few years and play our games in lovely Greensboro.

that being said...i would love to wrong...and wouldn't mind being in the acc too

ACC or BE goes down in flames?
