Yes to the ACC as long as they plan on staying in tact.

Bring on Duke, Carolina, and get Syracuse, Louisville, and Pitt rivalries back.

 

[alexd]

Cuse still has a team, right??

 

[sledog]

for real?

"It's worth looking at," Krzyzewski said. "People would be naive to think all conferences will look the same five years from now. Once certain milestones pass, it becomes less expensive to move, and the ACC is a terrific conference. Why not do something unbelievable in basketball?

"It could also give UConn an opportunity," he said. "They're playing football -- and they'd love to be in a conference where every school plays football. It would be an amazing league with a huge footprint stretching into the Midwest."

Coach K is intrigued by a proposed Big East and ACC merger to create a superconference

Krzyzewski dares leaders from the league to think boldly and hopes leaders in basketball will get with the same program

ACC does not have the courage to bring UCONN in to dominant the Basketball leagues. After that UCONN can work on taking over football

There is no way there is a merger. ACC would have zero interest in non football playing schools. I think UConn would accept an invite, but wouldn't pay to get in like SMU did.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Think he’s advocated for this in the past. Wonder if conversations have picked up behind the scenes?

 

[lonsharkin51]

This is sort of tangential to the subject, but saw K doing an interview during the UConn-Duke football game, and he spoke very highly of our hoops rivalry before saying he thought Calhoun was probably the greatest program architect ever. Love to hate the guy, but he is a class act most of the time

He wanted UConn in the ACC when the Big East was breaking up and he's always advocated for UConn. It doesn't mean anything in terms of UConn joining the ACC though.

You have to think the reason UConn football has had ~3 ACC teams on its schedule in recent years is that the ACC is helping UConn build up its program, and establish rivalries with ACC schools. If the ACC wasn't talking to UConn behind the scenes in preparation for a possible union, you wouldn't see that schedule.

 

[B1GEast]

Uh, I think Brett Yorrmark already tried to do that.

The football presidents were against it. Commissioners can suggest and recommend, but it's up to University presidents and their board to decide.

Until they see the numbers from the coming basketball contract nobody's going to move.

 

[Seamus84]

With Clemson and FSU having multiple down years, perhaps their influence over the process is waning.

Yes, he says this verbatim in this interview. The 2nd link above, time stamped at 11:30, he talks about Dan then transitions to Calhoun.

It will never not be funny that the Noles are like 2-12 in ACC football games since they sued the conference.

ALL sports: Can we please stop posing? Call me a boomer, dinosaur, old man (I am all of the above), but Vince Lombardi was right,
“Act like you’ve been there before”.

Even if thet had to pay it would be worth it in the long run. Leaving the Big East would suck. Tobacco Road referees would make hoops tougher in the Carolinas. That would be the real price.

Just don't beat him. The class act evaporated fast.

Honestly, every time I see this commercial I laugh and then scowl at how they desperately try to tie The State School of New Jersey (yes, that would be Rutgers) to New York City. Totally unsuccessfully, of course.

The only people in New York City that care even for a second about Rutgers are Rutgers alums.

Period, end of story.

They care less during Schiano's 2nd run than they did during his first (and they didn't care much then either)... and Pikiell kind of blew it with that all hype / very little substance team he had last year with Dylan Harper and Ace Bailey. Not a good look for Coach Pikiell, unfortunately as Harper looked really good before getting hurt in San Antonio while Bailey is also getting run in Utah, although more up and down. And I like Pikiell, as he was an original Calhoun/Dickenman recruit my freshman year. If he hadn't hurt his shoulder he could have been a really good player for us.

I've always thought Rutgers made a major mistake not naming themselves after their state. All my relatives have lived their entire lives in New Jersey and none of them have ever had any connection or feelings for the University. It's like that with anyone I've ever known from New Jersey and people around the country have no idea it's the state University of New Jersey or even what state it's in.

A relic of an era where history and tradition mattered more than "branding."

Rutgers was one of the oldest schools in the country. It was originally Queens College (Columbia was Kings). Renamed in the early 1800s for a guy who donated big money (Rutgers was the first football program and maybe the first naming rights??😉). It was a private school for most of its existence. Didn’t become the State University of NJ until like the 1950s. So renaming it seems a little out of place I’d say.

That's when they should've changed the name.

If the ACC wasn't talking to UConn behind the scenes in preparation for a possible union, you wouldn't see that schedule.

I think Dave and both the B12 and ACC Commishes are in regular communication. The ACC would be the best solution for us I think.

I can’t imagine the ACC adding the whole NBE. I mean, they saw how well the hybrid worked in the original Big East. And do they seriously need Seton Hall, Butler, Providence, Xavier, DePaul, Georgetown? Bottom feeders who are going to whine about getting disrespected every time a decision that benefits football is made. We bring competitive. football, championship basketball, competitive baseball, and are solid in other programs they care about. I think it is UConn alone who ends up there if anyone does. If, and I think it is highly unlikely, they add any basketball onlies I think they would cherry pick maybe a Marquette and Creighton rather than the rest of the dregs.

 

[GlastonTim]

If you merged the conferences you’d have 29 teams. 19 basketball/football 10 basketball/no football Have 2/3 divisions for basketball, 2 for football. Something like that. Not a fan of it though

 

[Methalius]

Maybe I made this up but I could have sworn that I read when BC left the Big East for the ACC that BC had it written into their charter about them being the only school in New England or something like that. In fact I'm pretty sure when Syracuse and Pitt joined that BC blocked UConn from joining. I just don't see that happening unfortunately.

I don't know if it was written into their charter, never saw that, but their AD at the time Syracuse and Pitt were invited to the ACC, Gene DeFilipo, later admitted that BC told the ACC that they couldn't take UConn because BC wanted to be the only ACC team in New England. Every time I'm remided that BC is in the ACC it makes me laugh that the ACC actually thought they were getting something with BC.
