Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

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?

On the bright side, Arizona State will need a travel partner.

Alumni who move out to Arizona do so with the idea of getting away from any thought of winter and ice sports.

You don't lose the love of a sport you grew up with because you move across country. Plus, spending 2 hours at the rink is refreshing when it's hot as hell outside. I'm sure folks would show up.
 
I'm sorry - I was looking for the key tweets thread?

Can anyone direct me? This can't be it because all I see are a bunch of Midwestern hayseeds trampling over the concept of a key tweet. So, please, someone tell me where I can find it?

They will go to the games out there. If it's the only game in town for their university, they will go.

It's comical how geography is a major obstacle in realignment until it isn't. ASU to the b1g in hockey reeks of desperation for content by a network. This has nothing to do with teaching out to alumni retiring in the southwest.

The budget of $1,950,000 incorporates design of a studio for the production of game-day video that
meets the requirements for the upcoming ACC Network relating to content creation and game production.

Planned completion of the project is early Spring 2018.

".... the project as a whole will be designed to become part of the overall school, student and fan experience. Live broadcast studio operations can be observed by students and public to create interest, excitement and to be used as a recruiting tool. The open studio also opens up revenue opportunities that can be derived from a potential naming rights sponsor or donor. "

It's a clever idea for NC St to build a studio available for the ACC Network, in the event the ACC Network happens. It's clear this is a school initiative and has no direct connection with the still hypothetical ACC network based on the full quote.
 
A lot of money for production of game day video...on the come, so to speak.

But maybe they have a lot of funds.

From a fan's perception. I really don't want ASU hockey in the Big10. I think we need established names with great hockey. ND was/is the perfect fit. BC/BU would be awesome as well, but that isn't happening. North Dakota, Minnesota-Duluth, Miami of Ohio, ect would be my choices.

But yeah, geography is only an issue when it needs to be.

OK, at that point it wasn't much of a scoop.

The BC interruption article was wrong on the destination but it's been obvious for a while ND had one foot out the door and the NCHC wasn't the landing spot since the conference down once already.

True, but Flug still had credible info that hit the mark within 6 months. He did not post any other hockey info other than they wanted ND/UCONN/ASU 2 of 3. Unlike the other tweeters who post both sides just to be right.

As the kids today would say in their vernacular - haters gonna hate.

Not nearly as much as dinero as NC State will have when after joining the SEC post-UNC/UVA move to the B1G and post-ACC collapse. ;)

Kookism.....the kooks have been dreaming this for four years.

It could happen...but seems unlikely to ACC fans. The Big 12 nutsters and P5 outsiders love the narrative though.

Meanwhile...the ACC will have put away a combined $70 million in tourney credits for last year and this year and have been enjoying some of the best athletic periods that they have had.

And, this year, will set the tourney record for credits earned...(old record 2009 Big East).

@KentSterling Hey, Ken, I'm setting a lot of rumors on Twitter re Big Ten expansion being imminent. People are mentioning Texas, OK & FSU

Kent Sterling ‏@KentSterling · 6h6 hours ago  Indiana, USA
@Expansion_Crush I've heard nothing. The talk flares once in a while, but I've heard nothing substantial.

Kent Sterling ‏@KentSterling · 6h6 hours ago  Indiana, USA
@Expansion_Crush Texas would be really complicated, and they are printing money. The rest of the Big 12 would need to collapse around them.
