B1G

[Exit 4]

The immigration argument isn't really unsupported. Immigrant population has exploded in NC in the past 10 years. What that means to realignment I have no idea but it is a real phenomenon not just a figment of upstaters imagination

http://www.migrationinformation.org/datahub/state.cfm?ID=NC

All good data, but nothing here debunks the fact that after you strip out immigration, the state still has killer positive population trends. As I pointed out earlier, well above CT.

The biggest issue the ACC faces is they have four schools in one TV market. While it is a big TV market ESPN only wants to pay for it once. The reality is the cable subscriber penetration would be the same if there was only UNC in North Carolina. This same issue effects the B1G which is why they will not add a second school from a state. It is also why the SEC doesn't want FSU or Clemson.

Unless the ACC come up with a method of capturing value from all of the NC schools they are fighting with one arm behind their back.

Drop Wake Forest and add UConn. Boom!

FSU has been told by BiG10 that they will not be expanding " in their direction".

I really hate it when they tell me what I want to hear and ashamedly love it, too.

Is this what some of you are arguing about? For the record, my parents are immigrants.

UConn B1G

Give it a rest.

Adding UVA may allow for a rotating Bball tourney, Chicago, New York and DC. Of course I'd like us to be an anchor for NYC along with our friends in NJ.

If by some miracle we end up in the b1g everyone here has to kiss the rings of Susan, Warde and HFD.

Gladly.

Before there was an HFD, there was Nostical. I won't kiss him either but I would proud to treat him to dinner.

 

[Adios]

I'll kiss Susan's ring.

 

[HuskyDogArt]

If Susan and Ward can get us into the B1G, I'll gladly kiss their ring!!

 

[Nostical]

That would be the best tasting meal of all time, Waq.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I'm picking up some Chapstick on the way home just in case it happens. I want to be prepared.

When college hockey season comes next season, we'll become even more desirable to the B1G.

[Doggie Style]

When college hockey season comes next season, we'll become even more desirable to the B1G.

Why?

 

[Adios]

Why?

Because their hockey conference is too small.

 

[Adios]

I would actually be obedient to Herbst...

It's not the size of your hockey conference, it's how you use it.

 

[Adios]

It's not the size of your hockey conference, it's how you use it.

Knowing the B1G, they'll want it bigger anyway. We are a logical choice for the B1G and they know it. They are discussing it amongst themselves.

They have storied hockey programs. Developing in-conference play will not be an easy task for the B1G. They are very limited in expansion options. If alignment was solely based on hockey, we'd be an automatic invite.

Here's the best way I can put it:

Elite land grand institution - check.
Borders a state - We'd fit anyway.
Football program - good but needs perception changes.
Men's basketball - check.
Women's basketball - check.
Men's soccer - check.
Baseball - check.
Hockey - check.

That's how close we are to a B1G invite.

Here's the best way I can put it:

Elite land grand institution - check.
Borders a state - We'd fit anyway.
Good football program - good but needs perception changes.
Men's basketball - check.
Women's basketball - check.
Men's soccer - check.
Baseball - check.
Hockey - check.

That's how close we are to a B1G invite.

I love your optimism, but have any recruits been told by PP, KO or GA that they will be playing in the BIG, ACC or Big 12? If I recall correctly, that was the first sign that Rutgers had an invite coming. At the time, I knew Rutgers was considered the New York City market, but I thought it was ridiculous they would be saved and we would be twisting. Right now I don't see light at the end of the tunnel. Sorry to burst any balloons.
