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

you must be very late to the party. its funny now because some realized this in 2014 when they chose Louisiville.

Not late.... the conference realignment suffering has been long felt along with everyone on here. I'm well aware.

We need to beat NC State. It is simple as that.

 

[TRest]

Killing our program to boost the sunk cost in BC. It won’t work.

LOL…

Stadium needs to be full.... it won't be .... regardless people will be foaming for football so early in the season ... Benedict should be showing the facilities tour and talking about them with highlights up in the press box every single game.

Benedict should come up with free transportation, giveaways, and anything else to get people there. We got to bring the crowd back to the game somehow. If we win this game, the following home game there should be much more people. I think Mora and the boys will be ready. Let's hope the state is ready too.

Benedict and our President should be wine and dinning Power Conference Presidents and AD's after full tours of our facilities ... continually ... hammer it home.

Can’t wait for the ACC to collapse. I will celebrate for days.

It’s simple, Lamont needs to give espn an ultimatum. Get UConn in or be taxed all the way to Charlotte.

Even better is when that happens and I’m able to go over to the BC, Cuse, etc forums and watch the “key tweets and it’s all gone to hell for BC” threads

 

[That Guy]

I honestly expect Cuse, BC, Wake, and maybe L'ville and Duke to be the only schools left in the ACC when it's all said and done. I think all the rest will get grabbed by the big 3.

It takes two to tango and they're just not interested and there's nothing you can really do about that.

I think Duke will find a spot somewhere because of their enormous brand value and to a lesser extent because of their academics.

The rest are toast. BC has zero value. Louisville has some appeal to a B12 but not much else. Wake not much. Cuse not much either- maybe B12 if they want to build east coast precense

We are all looking forward to the day when the ACC blows up. Really hope that day is sooner rather than later. This is the only reason I am cheering you FSU and their private equity venture.

 

[Greedo]

This is honestly hilarious. I can’t even be mad anymore it’s just getting so absurd.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I think the ACC continuing to add could be very entertaining.

They'll end up choking themselves with the number of schools they'll have in the conference and when it all comes crashing down they'll be scratching their heads wondering how and why it failed.

 

[The Viking]

A tv behemoth sitting on our property constantly defecating on us and laughing.

Let’s see if their brand remains strong 14 years after coach k.

 

[HungryHuskies]

There's gotta be something going on internally within the ACC. There's gotta be something we don't know. Stanford, Cal, SMU??????

 

[ThetaZoo]

Perhaps the media partners aren't the only ones who are stupid.

You would need powerful politicians to force ESPN or any other media company to bend to your will. We haven't had any since maybe colonial times.

Replacements for FSU, Clemson and Miami.

 

[noeynox]

They might get told that they are getting their off ramp from the ACC by X date in exchange for cooperation....or ESPN will take SMU pro-rata share and give it to the ACC's new "performance" pot used to reward winning programs.

This. I suggested when the FSU/Clemson moaning anout dollars started that UConn approach the ACC and offer to take half a share so they could give more money to quiet them down. I was told UConn should never agree to such a thing. SMU seems to be making this play, and it will probably work for them. You need forward thinking.

 

[RSTuthill]

Time to rest this topic for awhile, isn't it?

 

[djct1999]

Penn national announces a deal today w ESPN for betting. Here is one way we can flex…..




Let’s say no to the license!!!

 

[Fishy]

So if hypothetically the governor of the State showed up at a UConn football practice today, expressed his support for the program and the athletic department, and specifically declared on the record that the athletics deficit was not a major concern, would that be enough to satisfy the "it's not sustainable" crowd here?

No, because it’s meaningless.

We’re operating under a directive to shrink the department’s deficit, so he’s either stupid, dishonest or a politician telling you what he thinks you want to hear.
