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

I'm good with treating the athletes as employee's as long as the kids pay taxes on their earnings like the rest of us. Also, they should do away with athletic scholarships in this model as well.

Screw taxes. Make them sit through mandatory compliance trainings with required quizzes. That'll make them regret having a job.

Outlandish statements belong in the non-key thread, buddy.

Used to be the conference would negotiate a media deal with a network once every 10 years. Now schools will be negotiating media rights with the conference annually. Going to be sweet times for media rights consultants.

Im happy the big east is staying at 11 schools… and what the big east coaches are saying about having schools scattered around the country making it hard on the players and coaches in other conferences with all the travel.. the big east also has the best conference tournament in the country… hopefully we get a bump in money with our next tv contract

And before that "Clemsoning" meant to choke/shoot-oneself-in-the-foot, which they did regularly for 30 years. They had a nice run. Looks like its over, and they can get back to Clemsoning again.

Urban Dictionary: Clemsoning

1. The act of failing miserably on a grand athletic stage, or when the stakes are high. 2. Record-setting failure, usually reserved for college football.

Sooo, ummm, not to dredge up bad feelings but hasn't UConn football clemsoned themselves for a decade and surely after the Big12 showed feigned interest this Spring/Summer?

 

[billybud]

Who caews ? Clemson is sucessfull...

12 straight double digit seasons...and more national championships in the last six seasons (2016-22) than the Big Ten has had in 20.

Hate on 'em all you want, for whatever reason...

I thought vowelguy's joke was funny, but I can see how it would trigger a hypersensitive ACC fan.

 

[billybud]

Just keepin' things real..

It was not a joke...nor funny...more of a swipe at a pretty decent team for no real reason.

Thought we would have more schools joining us as independent. Guess not.

Per Mike Anthony’s article this AM- Big East and FOX will begin negotiations on a new TV deal in February:

Terrible for UConn football.

Made our bed in the big east. I think football is going to have to eat a bad deal somewhere else. That one hurts. If army can’t be Indy, no one outside off Notre Dame can

In the short term, it creates opportunities for UConn to schedule games against schools that are being dropped by Army. For example, in 2024/2025 there are dates that line up with Wake Forest for a home and home. LT, it does make scheduling tougher, but not insurmountable to build schedules.

It also seems that Army has decided to downscale their future schedules. They were scheduling 2 to 3 P5 schools per year and you won't see that anymore as they will have 2 OOC games to schedule each year. Army is 2-21 in the past 10 years against P5 schools.
