Say what you want about the B1G not winning a basketball championship in over two decades, those teams still draw the tv ratings. I want to see the Iowa-LSU women's ratings from last night. I bet it beats the men.

Greg is an amazing commentator and he does like UConn.Cloak and Dagger! Keep your head on a swivel. HOLY SMOKES!!!!!!
Another reason to pull March Madness away from the corrupt NCAA... What a joke!
They clearly sucked up to the P-2 and soon to be dissolved ACC. With Seton Hall, St.Js and maybe PC, the BE gets another 6-8 units.
Well there is nothing more to do now except smash the crap out of Alabama and whoever else this weekend!

Probably deserves its own thread but triple-tasking:

"the corrupt NCAA"... yeah because its been real clear NCAA employees have been stuffing their pants full of cash, huh?
Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its corrupt.
Scary article. All current P5 members and SMU will be in. All others will be out, but may be able to earn a spot if they improve. Bottom feeders in the P5 can continue to be bottom feeders and will be forever safe. Terrible news for UConn. SMU was very smart to get into the ACC even if it meant 10 years of no income.

I think we can squeeze in with a few others if it comes to that. Sure would be a good time to win dual natties again. We’ve got to stay way above the other non P5 schools in stature.
Sadly, it has nothing to do with basketball. Only football matters. The thing I don't understand with the new realignment is how the SEC and B1G members reassigned to a new conference feel about getting less money. Also what is the effect on TV networks that fund the conferences. The B1G and SEC will not be happy sharing.

Some don't think this proposal will ever come to pass.

I still think it does when you get to the very end. The B12 sees value in bball, women’s basketball is booming now and we have the best programs in the country on both sides. It helps a lot more than it hurts.

The only thing that could make this more of a loser would be if Aresco was pitching it.
The Syracuse chancellor IS one of the leaders of this group
you really don't get it, do you? They can already cut you out. They do not care about you and never did.
reality is this is a first pass... they won't finish at 80. they'll shed other schools as they go along and maximize the markets.

The bottom end P4 schools are spearheading this. The tell: they can't be relegated, and they are officially on the same level as the Alabamas of the world. It's not happening.

I love how no one wants to address the revenue aspect of this. Like you really think the P2 are gonna be like “yeah let’s all negotiate one big contract with ~45 other lesser programs”?

Supposedly the revenue would not be equal but either way I don't see the big schools agreeing to this.
yeah that makes sense, they want to create a world where they can't be removed. i saw on reddit the notion 'well we need to do this so we don't go bankrupt' and I'm like "uh huh... sure..."
Well of course he is! How else can Syracuse land anywhere? Nobody is beating down a door to secure Syracuse's membership in any conference. What do they bring to the table?
However, more than that, their proactive involvement in this effort shows two things. 1. The ACC is likely finished in their opinion and 2. Nobody is beating down their door for membership in any CFP organization or other conference for that matter.

And, the ESPN record will not be broken today as the game is on ABC not ESPN.

wayyyyyyy too basketball-centric of a take
He basically laid out why UConn has to do whatever it can to get into a P4 conference. Take a partial share or no share like SMU for a while, etc. Beg them to let you in, make offers they can't refuse, etc.
It's not about chasing football riches. It's about protecting basketball. The Big East has a shaky future.
