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

Either you are in or out. I am curious to see how acc responds. I don’t think they can sit idle and let the big 12 win. Maybe they consider UConn, Cal, and Stanford then add Gonzaga, nova and Georgetown(or Xavier or St. John’s ) for hoops? Not sure what they can do really.

The ACC has no options.

They could try to get ND in FB or convince ESPN to pay $$$$ for adding UConn (both with 0.001% chance). Or hope a miracle occurs in the next 10 years.

Adding west coast teams is not viable.

And two Arizona schools —-31 days in a row over 110 degrees. Good grief.

In football, the school who has the best record between Arizona, ASU, Utah and Colorado football gets water for for the following year...

Probably right. So basically the music is stopping and UConn has no seat.

The reason the p2/p3 schools might take over the tourney is the $700-800m that the NCAA takes off the $1.1b annual revenues from it.

However they configure it, the p2/p3 are going to take most of that money for themselves.

I have no idea how D2 and D3 are going to run championships because the NCAA wont be around to run them.

This is the math I’ve been trying to warn people about. How long will it be until the P3 realizes they don’t need to beat the $1.1B that the NCAA gets, they only need to beat the $300M that the conferences currently get from tournament credits.

And actually, it’s even less than that because you wouldn’t be splitting that $300M amongst 10+ conferences.

These people care about one thing. Money. They don’t give a rats behind if it destroys the tournament as long as they come out one penny ahead of where they used to be

Interesting that Washington is in the conversation.

Nothing on Arizona. What is the Washington play? Big 10?

If travel is $10m a year more, then why would you leave to the big 12? I dont know.

It’s nuts that asu and Utah and Washington would leave on a weeks notice.

Sadly if we were to get shut out by the four corners we’d still be far better off than Navajo Nation.

 

[Huskyforlife]

Ok this ASU thing has brought some more hope back, why wouldn’t they be on board yet? Unless they don’t have an offer…

 

[DarthGrumpy]

Realignment isn’t close to finished but that isn’t necessarily a good thing for UConn. It’s more likely Former P5 schools will drop down to G5 than vice versa. We couldn’t get into the acc. If we swing and miss on the B12, where do you think this is really heading. I already know, no where good. There is chatter cal may drop football. Wash state and Oregon state are done. Stanford, who knows. This won’t end well for anyone left out.

Of all of conferences out their, the B1G does care about the academic side, including research dollars. The already have some of the biggest research universities out there and also have relationships with U Chicago and Johns Hopkins. Stanford is huge in that space. I can't see them leaving them out on the vine.

I tried reading through the last 10 pages after getting off work and correct me if I’m wrong but it seems like UA/ASU are in and Utah is following them shortly?

 

[RSTuthill]

Wow. I go away for pretty much the whole day and this board has turned into mass hysteria. Suck it up, folks. How did you all find your way down this self pity rat hole?

 

[OkaForPrez]

I still think we’re in‍♂️

 

[aburks41]

I still think we’re in‍♂️

We would have gotten our invite by now if we were. There’s no more leverage fantasy anymore now that the Pac is officially dead.

We’re out.

Most of the posts in the last ten pages state that. No proof supporting it.

U of A board in executive session right now. Theory they are voting to accept a bid to B12.

Things moving fast. Should know more tomorrow.

I get where you’re at man.

I think the ink has to dry on Arizona and ASU first.

Nah. The PAC schools are in disarray. The Washington travel issue is interesting. So for them the $ are the same almost no matter what they do. Oregon likely the same. The AZ schools might have better travel in the B12. If Washington and Oregon stay, I think UA is the only school that goes, maybe ASU. They all are waiting on those two because the PAC isn’t viable without them.

 

[Huskyforlife]

still no mention of ASU

 

[Huskyforlife]

Utah and UConn as 15 and 16?

 

[Ha Who]

Glutton for punishment

Welp

 

[uconnyankee]

I swear, soon someone on this board will stub their toe, and read it as a sign middle tennessee will be in the Big 12, there's literally nothing official even out yet, let's relax

Where’d you get Middle Tennessee?!!! I heard North Texas state was #16

 

[jostar1]

I wasn’t active back then. Was there any talk of Louisville to the ACC, or was it out of left field?

You can go back to page 1 and start reading. It's all there.

 

[UConn Dan]

Not over yet

 

[jostar1]

Is this a sign?
