Nostical said we're headed to some place north of the Big 12 on page 3. Amazing how much people's thought patterns change over 11 months. I still have no problem with the ACC, as long as they can establish long term stability. I never imagined ND would go to the ACC.

a. I never could stand Wake Forest fans Screaming "ACC, ACC, ACC!" at the Car Care Bowl in Charlotte. To paraphrase E. Scrooge in this holiday season: Anyone Chanting "ACC, ACC, ACC!" should be buried with a stake of holly through his heart!
b. After the continual raping of the Big East by said ACC, I'd be in a perpetual state of nausea if that logo is emblazoned & desecrates the sacred ground of the RENT or any playing surface in Storrs.
c. The gang of 3 who were involved in the initial mutilation have my neverending scorn. "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" & UConn's steel has been forged in the perpetual hellfire that those 3 should be relegated to.

Maybe the best post I have ever read! Keeping my fingers crossed that my dreams of the B1G come true. I will pray a little harder tonight...

**This is from the WvU boards and appears to be a RU poster stating his source most likely is bullshit but would be amazing if it was true**

unfortunately, UVA put out a PR that they have not talked to anyone and are committed to the ACC. Maybe B1G ads us first, waits on ND and then approaches UVA if nothing moves.

I remember reading something about Tom Pernetti (Rutgers AD) telling big time donors at the Arkansas game that Rutgers was B1G bound. Someone posted it to the Rutgers forum and it was subsequently deleted.

Messages boards are filled with misinformation, but not sure why a Rutgers fan would go to a West Virginia board and say Virginia and UConn are B1G bound.

Who knows, my story above may not be entirely accurate, but at this point - what is?

Yea I read that as well, but thats like saying last year when rutgers and others (teams currently trying to jump ship and that were last year) were "dedicated" to the big east look where that got them..

Not to mention I read here on the BY that if an ACC team even enters talks with another conference they have to pay the exit fee, so as far as I see it I would say exactly that if I was UVA regardless if I was leaving or was not.

And I believe the guy now posting that this is a done deal was the same guy that broke that news.

You wanna know how it's official? I'm rooting for the B1G in the B1G/ACC Challenge. Official.

We're going somewhere. Wish people would stop crying.

Why hasn't this thread been pinned?

If, hypothetically, the rumors of a BIG invite for UConn is true, could the delay be because of the challenge of not only getting UConn out of the Big E contract; but, also the Hockey East contract, which UConn signed earlier in the year? I doubt that the BIG, which just started its hockey league with 6 teams, would want UConn playing in Hockey East. It would also offer Delany another hole to rip into ND as ND told-off the BIG for hockey membership and then skated into Hockey East with UConn on their coattails.

I thought about this too. Is there an exit fee from Hockey East?
