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

He's just a bright guy. Independent of the fact that it would not suck to be making $50 million, give or take, per year, Yormark is a capable guy. It would be good for Connecticut to be a part of a conference with a forward thinking proactive guy like that at the helm.

Wrong thread

Swaim is non-key!

 

[dayooper]

Swaim is non-key!

Swaim is a couple of levels below non-key. I think he’s negative key.

 

[ZOOCONN]

We won't be pushing to join the remnants of the ACC.

You say that but I’m not so optimistic

I propose the term "Off-key" for such sources.

Lol, I like it, but not if it means I have to plow through yet another thread.

ACC Football Media Day Minutes (7/25/23)

-> Q. You talked a lot about where you are in terms of the conference and looking at growing and expanding and bridging that gap. One of the biggest things that's out there that people constantly whisper about with the ACC, a team that's on the slate of televised games for ACC is Notre Dame. Is there any progress towards getting Notre Dame to join as a full member with football as well, or is that not something that's on the table at the moment?

JIM PHILLIPS: Another really good question. We've had a lot of conversations, let me put it bluntly, with Notre Dame, and they've been very clear. They value their independence, and I think they feel strongly that that will continue well into the future.

If they ever have the desire of joining the conference, they know that we would welcome them with open arms, but I think -- I can't speak for Jack right now and Pete in the future or Father John, but I think it's been a healthy relationship both ways for the ACC and for Notre Dame.

They’re sports, other than football, I think have thrived in the ACC. I think they really enjoy the academic prowess that the ACC brings as well, but they've been pretty clear about their desire to stay independent. So I don't see that changing any time soon. <-

How is Jim Phillips still the ACC commissioner? He was the AD at Northwestern from 2008 to 2021 during the football hazing issues.

The move to P2 has begun! We, the P2, can outspend anyone and you will never catch up.

I can't even imagine the total absurdity of this situation.

Hard to conceive that universities have gotten themselves into such a bad mess.

At least the timing on this news is a good thing with the Big 12 possibility

With this potentially happening, there is now no way anyone can even think about staying in the Big East if a p5 offer comes

CU Board meeting should end around 7 PM ET today. Can’t wait for the X machine to fire up soon thereafter

I think it goes from 2-3 mountain time, which is 2 hours behind, so will end at 5PM eastern!!!

I'll be refreshing the ol' twitter (no X for me).
