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

If they gp with the name Allstate Conference will they then be vulnerable to potential false advertisement lawsuits as they won't have representatives in all states?

Three words. Atlantic Coast Conference.

This would be death. You can get away with changing the name of your building or even putting ads on the jerseys for a period of time. Not this. It would be reinforcing league's reputation as smalltime every time it was referenced.

I'm guessing it's just shock value laying the groundwork for a compromise that leads to it being called the "Allstate Big 12" or something similarly tragic.

Allstate Athletic Conference; the AAC would finally make the Power conference ranks!

Watch what happens when they lose Utah. No way Utah is sticking around. They will end up in the Big 10.

They haven't been a twelve member conference for more than a decade yet they kept the name...

Big 12 considering private equity investment of up to $1 billion for as much as 20% of conference

The proposed deal with a Luxembourg-based firm would bring a massive influx of cash to the league

For the record, what actually constitutes a "key tweet". I saw it was university Presidents, athletic directors and credible media or something like that.

The AAC - American Airlines Conference

Something that wasn’t MHVER, The Dude, Tuxedo Yoda, anything credible..

If you think about the collective brain power that's been wasted on The Boneyard you have to wonder what could've been achieved to it been put to good use. Cure cancer? World peace? We will never know.

Given the quality of most posts, I'm pretty sure there's not too many rocket scientists around.

-> They really threw their weight around in this whole CFP process and we just didn’t have enough leverage to fight it.” Aresco on the Group of 5’s future: “What the G5 have to be careful about is to be forced into a separate division. That would be the worst thing. We had to be sure to always stay with the top guys because that’s how we viewed ourselves. … It’s why I’ve opposed this G5 playoff. … If you do anything that separates you from the [Power 4], it gives them more of a reason to say you’re not really in our division anymore. If you ever lost access to the College Football Playoff, you’ve got big problems. That’s your lifeblood. You can’t lose access to that. You play those teams. What you don’t want is to be like FCS and be in a separate division. You still play those teams but they don’t view you the same way.” <-

No idea how many UConn games will be on peacock if any but currently peacock is offering a year subscription for 19.99. Ends late June I believe.

Thank you sir, had been looking for a promo code b/c I want to watch Olympic swimming. + Big East if it happens in the next year

When the NY Yankees have ‘Vista Print’ on their uniforms, baseball is dead.
Disagree on the league. Throwing ‘Allstate’ in the name for $30-50M is just another revenue stream.

I don’t care what you think. This thread is 13 years old. How is it impractical?

Post this somewhere else.

I don't really care what you think either.

Colorado State University's new on-campus Canvas Stadium, with a capacity of 36,500 (including boxes and other premium seating), cost $220 million to build in 2017. Naming rights garnered more than $37 million, so subtract that from the cost of construction. Stadium capacity can be expanded, if justified. I haven't been there but understand that it's an attractive and functional facility.

Double or more the materials cost, add 40% inflation minimum to everything else. Don't know anything about site prep costs. Hard to judge the validity of the $220 million cost for comp purposes.

If they are going with the All State conference they'll need a member from CT...

Will they cause Mayhem with the playoffs? I can see it now.

If you have Xfinity for cable/internet then check out the Xfinity Rewards section of your account.
They were offering, or maybe still are, a free premium subscription to Peacock for Xfinity customers.
That’s where I signed up for my free Peacock account.

I have Peacock for the soccer. Glitchy sometimes. Hopefully this gets better.

Watched the US Open this week on Peacock and there were no issues.

 

[Exit 4]

I caved....subscribed to peacock this week for the US Open. $20 is the price of a sandwich these days in lower CT so it wasn't too much to really debate.

Been enjoying the golf coverage...watching now.
