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

It still puzzles me....sure, current P5 members want to eliminate outside competition and encroachment. But wouldn't espn and the networks want to include as many other programs as possible? Doesn't more = more? More fans = more money.

You would think more=more content for you televise, but maybe people would rather watch Wake Forest than UConn.

This? How does it apply?

I follow Bilas. He hasn't tweeted much. Must have returned to his law practice in North Carolina.

Reference to Mama is obviously the B1G. "She want a new place" refers to TV markets. "Homeboy" has got to mean Jim Delany. "Caught a new case" means another school will be added. "Need rooms, just bought a new safe" refers to the expansion of the UConn stadium and extra money we will be bringing in w/ B1G $ payouts.

Yeah, I'm sure that's exactly what Bilas was referring to when he tweeted that out.:rolleyes:
 
McMurphy is a great troll. He got the Cincinnati Enquirer to RT that post and get all the UC fans hopes up. Well played sir.

Well there it is, irrefutable proof in black and white. I just can't envision Whaler being able to pick apart something as concrete as that. . .

Is he quoting? I always figured he was making them up. Always with "I gotta go to work" at the end.

I tend to think a Big10 invite is fantasy based more on the sheer fact that schools already are giving up football games with Ohio state, Michigan, Penn state and replacing them with Rutgers and Maryland. I don't see how you can sell them on UConn and Virginia, Kansas, etc.

I felt absolutely sick to my stomach the night when mcmurphy tweeted Louisville was getting in over us as unless anything changes, football will be marginalized and basketball becomes tougher to sustain excellence.

I do think the AAC deal will improve and with Fox sports 1 and conference networks in the works we should still get decent exposure but over time we're going to need something to happen.

I think the Big12 eventually breaks apart due to Texas making a move and then thr best of the AAC and Big12 merge. Still not ideal, but you'd replace Tulsa, Tulane and ECU with TCU, Baylor and Iowa state everyday.

UConn, Cincinnati, USF, UCF, Memphis, Houston, Temple

Kansas, Kansas State, Ok State, West Virginia, TCU, Texas Tech, Baylor, Iowa State

Not bad. Needs slashes though.

It does not benefit the Other 5 conferences or Notre Dame to split up the pie any further. The Other 5 conferences were looking to kick the Big East out of the BCS ten years ago. Then, their job was almost taken care of for them by the Big 12 destabilization 5 years later, but that didn't happen. The only way the AAC becomes a power conference is if half merges with the leftovers of a Texas-less Big 12. IF UConn is included in that shake up, they will still have travel issues, unless the Big Ten pick them up.

I disagree... a growing pie and shrinking mouths is exactly what everyone wants (it's just nobody wants to be the mouth cut out). Big East yesterday, Big12 or ACC tomorrow. Who know's how the next group is culled.

I think there are enough schools between the MWC and AAC to have 12-14 decent schools if the P6 is a possibility:
UNLV, Fresno, SDSU, BYU, Boise, Uconn, Cincy, USF, UCF, Houston, and Memphis would be a decent base. Certainly not a P5, but a stronger version of the AAC.

Looks a bit like the Amercan "A" as well. ...we should sue.

SMU, Navy, ECU, Northern Ill - Many schools fit right in the middle-of-the-P5-pack. Change is good. One reason those P5 blowhards make me sick.

They should have joined forces with MWC and BYU before this AAC started. But you have to have a balance between athletics and academics. I just don't know if there would be that much difference outside of a championship games and a cross over here and there. If they were to do this you stick with 12 teams.. No super conference. No splitting up the revenue 16 ways since it will be small already.

WEst
BYU, Boise, San Diego St., Fresno St., Colorado St., UNLV
East
Uconn, Cincy, UCF, Houston, Memphis, Temple

Sorry USF you have done nothing and there fore are out!

The problem is that Aresco already stated they are committed to fully cover the cost of living in each area. That means teams like Tulsa, Tulanes,USF will make this work. There is no reason for a split now since the AAC has teams commiting thing the resources necessary.

There is always going to be a reason until the AAC is a power conference or until the better AAC schools join a P5 conference. The money and postseason access are not good enough now.

The conference you just laid out is a P5 nightmare. It would be much more compelling and it would produce highly ranked teams every year. However, somebody new would have to spearhead it and destroy the AAC and MWC.

I need someone to explain to me why a Power 5 idea is a good one if it can't get 67% of the richest schools to vote for it

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 4h
Mike Slive's "threat" regarding the voting threshold is over 39 votes vs 43 votes. Almost comical. But it will get done.

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 4h
Would not solve their problems RT @PHIrociousApe: @DanWolken in your opinion, would it be a good move if they break away from the NCAA

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 35m
For all the hype you’re going to hear about a breakaway, remember if it was in the 65’s best interests they’d have already done it.

Dan Wolken @DanWolken · 35m
The power conferences are in enough antitrust hot water as it is. That’s why Slive et al frame autonomy as student welfare, which it isn’t.

If autonomy doesn’t pass, Mike Slive said would be possibility of a “Division 4” w/Power 5 schools

I Give Wolken Credit, In That He Seems To Be The Only One Of The These Writers That Doesn't Take The Words Of Slive And Delany As The Gospel. You Know Now Mcmurphy ChangeD His Avatar To The Acc Logo, He Should Just Change It To A Pair Of Knee Pads Since He Is Always So Eager To Blow The P5.
