Some don't think this proposal will ever come to pass.
Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

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.

I think this is ultimately the last play UConn will make. Just have to wait to see how the ACC lawsuits play out.

Friedlander: The ACC messed up by not adding UConn earlier. Don’t blow it again
The ACC has hurt itself by passing UConn over in its 3 previous rounds of realignment. It can't afford to keep making the same mistake.

Stay tuned.
This article shows two thingsFriedlander: The ACC messed up by not adding UConn earlier. Don’t blow it again
The ACC has hurt itself by passing UConn over in its 3 previous rounds of realignment. It can't afford to keep making the same mistake.
1. Most of the realignment has been all about the right place at the right time. Louisville, BC, Cuse and Pitt peaked at the absolute right times while UConn hit one of its biggest obstacles at the wrong time.
2. The author is clearly basketball-focused and fails to understand that football drives the bus. How people don't get that by now is beyond me. Southern footballs schools drive the ACC bus until they decide to run it off the cliff.
We might get an ACC invite once it has been picked by the vultures. Unless football is still valued greater then look for Memphis, Tulane and USF to take priority. Academics do not matter ... only football.. see Ville.
