My final offer: $420m a year for 5 years. Or, $640m a year if basketball inventory is increased (adding Kansas and UConn and more women's BB). Take it or leave it, Jim.

JUST IN: #UC #Bearcats grant UNLV wish to speak to Mick Cronin: http://cin.ci/1ReCNo5

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 1h1 hour ago
Cincinnati letting Cronin walk would be one of the biggest blunders of all-time

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 1h1 hour ago
Because he's a really good coach and Cincinnati won't hire a better one to replace him.

Last thing on Cincy: Your athletic department being relevant is more fragile than you may realize. Trend in FB isn't good. Lose hoops and..?

This basically walks back the "reports" that there is a specific deadline to launch an ACC network and rights fees increase if no network launched by that date. So that July 1, 2016 date is meaningless.

"The one thing we've learned from other conferences that have taken this step, a potential channel, is that there are ways to do it that work extremely well immediately. There are ways to do it where it had to evolve and develop, like the Big Ten, who had huge growing pains its first years. And then the PAC-12, which continues to really struggle with their approach. It's all out there, so there's something to be learned from each.

I think Swofford plans to "convert" the entire SEC fan base to be ACC fans. That is clearly the "way to do it that (would) work extremely well immediately". Tricky rabbit.
 
Just convert all of the ACC basketball fans and schools to discover that football, too, is a sport.

Once the chino and oxford cloth clad. latte slurping, lacrosse bragging, Biff and Muffy's learn that football isn't just soccer, who knows?

[forgive this non Key Tweet post]. I find it hugely ironic that you describe as latte slurping, lacrosse bragging Biff and Muffy's the same people that those in Connecticut (who own that stereotype and should trademark it) would call NASCAR watching, PBR drinking rednecks (e.g. the residents of VA, NC, SC and GA).

...and northern Florida.
 
PBR drinking?

You guys are culturally illiterate.

We are the bourbon swilling, barbecue stained tee shirt wearing, Blake Shelton loving, football crazed fans distilled from Alabama and Georgia blood lines.

We can't sing a lick...that's why the game song from my school is a prolonged series of moans...and you can't forget the lyrics even after a pint of Mr. Beam.

Many drink Budweiser...no matter how hammered, you can stagger up to the bartender and slur out..."bbbbbbud". A lot easier to order than a Bodega Chacra Pinot Noir as served in Chapel Hill.

The PBR reference comes straight from Georgia's own Zac Brown himself.

Come 0n Billy. Your "user name" is from Melville and you quote Robert Burns on a football related internet site. Sounds like you'd fit right in with, "chino and oxford cloth clad. latte slurping, lacrosse bragging, Biff and Muffy's." You're rooting for the wrong school.

(Just kidding, by the way.)

I do believe, sometimes, that we live in different America's. We do have cultures still even with all of the post WWII movement.

I thought that when I read the pages of our weekly paper in Cherokee County, North Carolina (my cabin site).

My facebook pages are often littered with cyber warriors duking it out re gun violence.

"No guns!, More Guns! Second amendment!, Guns Kill!, No, people kill!, the slaughter has to end!, Pry from my dead hand!"

And in our local paper, pictures and a proud story of the local middle school rifle team winning first place in competition as well as the high school rifle team.

Not an issue here...country kids shoot. I guess that is why WVU's Rifle Team has won 18 National Champonships.

Guns have a different meaning in Tallahassee....

For those who haven’t seen it, I’ve uploaded the LHN contract. Happy reading.

What marketing/media analyst Mike Gundy doesn't address is that a league network isn't a cure-all. Ask the Pac-12.

Mike Finger ‏@mikefinger · 6h6 hours ago
Marketing/media analyst Mike Gundy says Big 12 needs to be more like Pac-12, when Big 12 schools get more revenue:

Marketing/media analyst Mike Gundy says if UT won't give up LHN, it might end up in SEC. Which wouldn't allow LHN.

Wendell_Barnhouse‏@WBBBPB
@mikefinger 2 points: A B12Net has to include expansion for inventory. Also, with current cable market, who carries for how much/how little?

Mike Finger ‏@mikefinger · 6h6 hours ago
@WBBBPB Ask Boren.

Stewart MandelVerified account ‏@slmandel 5h5 hours ago
Gundy may be right about LHN, but even if it went away doesn't mean Big 12 would launch a network. Cable, you may have heard, is struggling.

And the Big 12's limited geographic appeal makes wide distribution difficult

Dan Wolken ‏@DanWolken · 6h6 hours ago
For network purposes you can make an argument for UConn. Cincy has pretty narrow appeal.

Mike Finger ‏@mikefinger · 5h5 hours ago
You guys are making some interesting points but I need to check with marketing/media analyst Mike Gundy to confirm.

College Hockey News ‏@chnews 22m22 minutes ago
CHN has learned that Notre Dame will leave Hockey East for the Big Ten starting in 2017-18

Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 20m20 minutes ago
Notre Dame will owe Hockey East a penalty for leaving the league. A buy-out.

College Hockey News ‏@chnews 17m17 minutes ago
Perhaps opens the door for Arizona State admittance too. Stay tuned on that.

Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 16m16 minutes ago
Per sources, Hockey East schools were informed of this today. Obviously several outlets being informed.

Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 12m12 minutes ago
Per sources, Notre Dame will keep its NBCSN contract ... League was given "travel" as primary reason for departure.

College Hockey News ‏@chnews 10m10 minutes ago
Big Ten added Johns Hopkins in lacross a few years ago, so this has precedent. Opens the door for more.

Mike McMahon ‏@MikeMcMahonCHN 6m6 minutes ago
Notre Dame didn't mind traveling, they were unhappy being the only league member to travel. On a level playing field in the B10.

So for those who thought that the Big Ten's desire for a bigger hockey league was going to be a material assist in getting us an invite for all sports, can we let that go now?

No, this obviously means Notre Dame is going to be our partner when the B1G expands by 2.
