The silence from UConn has to mean something. No idea what, but it means something.
Kindly suggest a mentos, or tic tac, or piece of gum. If he still doesn't get it ask him if he had a mcmuffin for breakfast.I can't tell if the massive headache I have is from my coworker's halitosis or the constant pessimism on here...probably the halitosis but this is a close second.
We're gonna be just fine.
The latest rumor is Louisville, with Cincy and UConn likely to follow. Just hope likely means "definitely."
This is what I'm seeing everywhere now on twitter. If this happens, what is left of the Big East Football Conference? And Why would the ACC take 3 new schools.

If ESPN ends up paying the ACC to take UConn, Louisville and Cincinnati, someone at ESPN deserves to be fired. 8 of the 9 Big East teams will be in other majors and, assuming the ACC's contract is adjusted as expected, these teams will cost over $20MM per school. ESPN could have gotten them for much less as part of the Big East, and locked the league up if it wanted.
This stuff is amusing. FYI ... Everyone step back from the ledge the said tweet has since been deleted.
I have a hard time seeing the ACC go beyond 14 right now.
If this rumor is true, I believe Cincinnati was added as a to Fox and the Big 10.

A Cincinnati insider is claiming this is from close to Jurich. According to him, Cincinnati, Louisville and UConn have all accepted invitations already. Apparently he called Rutgers to the Big 10 2 weeks before it happened. mhver3 posted that UConn has an offer to join the ACC.

It absolutely makes sense because Notre Dame is a monumental tease and won't be joining a conference any time soon. And even if they did, there's no chance it would be the ACC. They ought to worry about strengthening the conference overall and just be happy with the Irish deal they've already got.I cannot imagine the ACC going to 16 with Notre Dame still out there.
Every other number makes sense on some level...13, 14 or 15, But 16, no.

Unfortunately, reality kicks sand in your face.
Notre Dame is already the +1 in the ACC. They're a member in all sports, save football, and that spot will be left open for them until they commit, they leave or the ACC ceases to exists.
