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

Yep, some of the Twitter conversation has the Big 12 offering Cinci, UConn full memberships and BYU and CSU as football only. It eliminates the play on Sunday objections, since that is driven largely by Olympic sports.

FWIW, I don't see the Big 12 going east and west but what do I know.

Because "football only" has been such a good idea for conferences in the past . . .

What Does CSU inclusion tell us? GOOD NEWS. Market Size(Denver) and Academics(CSU very good school) are priorities.

We should take this as EXCELLENT news, IMHO.

I'm going to take a different spin. This is about divisions. If you bring in BYU and CSU, you can more legitimately keep Texas with Baylor and OU (TT is easy since they stink.). If you bring in UCF, there's no way to keep balanced divisions that let UT play who they want.

And apparently not very bright. One poster on the CSU board claimed that UConn was the third most popular program in CT at best, after Notre Dame, Boston College and possibly Yale.

You don't want people to start judging entire fanbases based on "one poster on the [UConn] board," do you?
 
This is a response to a question about why the B12 is not valued like B1G/SEC... I thought this was somewhat inflammatory coming from a UT based reporter. UT's past behavior played a part in schools like Nebraska and A&M leaving. OTOH it's probably not an inaccurate assesment of the value of the Iowa States and Kansas States either:
 
Bohl's is bad.

I saw some concern by someone in some thread the other day because he quoted an unnamed source with UT as saying Texas wouldn't give up the LHN unless it was to join another conference.

Keep in mind this is the same "journalist" who quoted possibly the very same unnamed source at UT as saying Charlie Strong would definitely leave Texas for the Miami job.

Also ACC could be targeting a school that B12 is talking to for expansion. In hearing Uconn but have heard Cincy from others.

?? My bad. Calm down. 75 IQ? Sure clown. I'd guess I paid more in 2015 taxes than you earn.

So did both presumptive nominees for president. You are in good company.

Ironically, in my opinion, both candidates have an IQ of 75 and live to piss people off.

Blog: Swofford vague on potential channel, more forceful on HB2 as #ACC spring meetings open.


# Swofford addressed one other perennial with Fischel: league expansion. The Big 12’s current expansion debate is not only public but also messy, and Swofford, as usual, derailed any notion of the ACC growing beyond its 14 members for football and 15 for other sports.

Indeed, the only reason for the ACC to expand would be if Notre Dame joined for football, prompting a search for a 16th.

“I think our group is very comfortable with where we are,” Swofford said. “One thing I’ve learned in this business and on this subject is you never say never in terms of would there ever be discussion about that. But it is not a point of discussion in any way, shape or form right now.”

Obviously Swofford said "gentlemen, I am proud to say that we have reached an agreement for the University of Connecticut to join the ACC."

[APPLAUSE!!!!!]

Followed by a mic drop.

So, Swofford had nothing on a network. Not a surprise here. Back to the Big 12, where regents can't see past their arm.
 
In between counting all his money, Delaney must be sitting back, enjoying a cold beer and laughing his arse off watching the acc and Big 12 self destruct. Again, he is playing high level chess while these other clowns are barely playing checkers.
