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

Frank just took the "throw-away" line and ran with it.

I don’t buy any of this due to rule 1 but Frankie has always been quite dismissive of us

Well, its "key" for someone/somewhere. Decks continue to shuffle.

And the ACC schools now have a name:

"The ACC’s options are quite limited, both for the group of seven and the league as a whole." Once a name is coined, it's over.

The GO7 could look to add the Kansases, Okie State, and perhaps the Corner 4.

"3. Create another league. If the seven agree to dissolve the current grant-of-rights agreement (we don’t know yet if this is a possibility), they may add a couple of more schools and begin their own association in hopes of it being more lucrative. This comes with its own issues, of course. You’d need a broadcast partner or private equity to fund such an endeavor. And, as one official asks, “Will it really be that much more lucrative?”"

If the Pac-12 stays together and adds SDSU and SMU, there is a legitimate chance the Big 12 will add us.

I think it’s possible, but if they are really interested in moving west I doubt they just say ah well the hell let’s grab UConn since we couldn’t. I think we link up with what’s left of the ACC after the magnificent 7 leave

Actually the “Magnificent 7”:

It seems Georgia Tech, Louisville and Pitt would also have options to make it 10. How glorious it would be to see SU and BCU standing outside the Big East door asking to be let in, with duke and wake waiting in the car.

What options do you think Louisville or Pitt have?

I can see the SEC and the B1G each taking one of the Virginia schools and one of the North Carolina schools. I'm not sure either conference is in too much of a rush however as there are many things that will need to be worked out prior to further expansion.

I'm not sure any other ACC school has a definitive landing spot that would be an improvement on where they currently are.

Some serious hating on the McMurphy podcast on UConn being a target for the big 12. No other school would ever get about possibly getting into the P5.

 

[jostar1]

Dan Wetzel, Pat Forde and Ross Dellanger. Dellanger confirms that Yormark is definitely eyeing UConn. Wetzel and Forde think that UConn would be crazy to join the Big 12. "Don't make a football decision at a basketball school." "Football fans in New England don't care." "They dominate basketball when they are around NYC".

That's hating. Same crew that lambasted UConn for leaving the AAC and abandoning football want to kill UConn for going to the Big 12? Just come out and say you want UConn to stay broke.

Forde and Wentzel don't impress me as very savvy given many of their comments on realignment and the business behind it.

This narrative from the podcast is totally insane. Basically they believe we are a hostage to our basketball success, and we can never aspire to being more than a "basketball school" because we have been so successful at it. Utter stupidity. This just proves that you need to ignore the football centric national and regional media since they are invested in a system that's designed to keep the sec and big 10 at the top, and everybody else down.

Lol….when?

No school gets weirder coverage than UConn.

I have no idea what the future holds.

I am confident that these schools have gone public because they think they have a play. More importantly they've put the other schools in the conferenc on notice that the remaining seven aren't seen as viable partners. ACC bottom feeders are officially in last rat off the boat and any port in a storm mode.

I think it's a desperate move on their part. Trying to get the other 7 to concede them more money. Doubt it has any effect.

This is 100% true.

Look at Louisville vs UConn debate a decade ago.

The national media essentially were a propaganda arm of Louisville back then.

Truth is, football centric media is typically from the south. They do not like coming up north for anything.

Right now no expansion in other conferences keeps ACC members hopeful to fill slots when expansion happens in the future. By feinting that there may be a way out of GOR, it could freeze other conferences from adding now.

 

[Huskyforlife]

You can tell how badly our hearts have been stomped on by the lack of reaction to real news involving UConn. We used to get our hopes up more for the West Virginia clowns.

I won't bet a wooden nickel on what the effect is of this announcement. I do know all the speculation and whispering is over and there's now a real line in the sand.
