kind of, but there's more (from Wiki)
It seemed like a reliable sports source. Given unequal revenue sharing starting, it could just be another way of jettisoning bottom feeders.

Sounds like Aresco (AAC) did before teams were poached - "it's all good"!Not a tweet but “key” comment below. Free to read:
State of the ACC: Jim Phillips talks realignment, Notre Dame and big college sports changes
The ACC commissioner arrived five years ago at the start of an era of massive changes in college sports. Where's the conference heading now?
Where do things stand now on expansion? Is that something that you guys ever talk about, or is that completely on the back burner until something requires a change?
There’s really been no conversations at all as it relates to expansion. That ecosystem has settled itself down. We’ve turned our attention to some of the other pressing matters.
The conference might not be talking about it as a group, but the top tier ACC members that will leave will restart the group conversation.Not a tweet but “key” comment below. Free to read:

You assume thats the trade
I don’t see any benefit of returning to AAC.
They blew it with a heavy overtone of dislike from some of the institutions that seemed to come from cultural differences. Having WVU, Kansas, Iowa State and Baylor in UConn's corner was apparently not enough. Gotta think if that Arizona president in Storrs rumor was true, we might pick up the four corners and the former AAC teams. So not as big a putt next time -- if there is a next time.
Nelson's go-to red herring: if you don't agree with him you must want to return to the AAC.
UConn will not leave Big East for AAC.
Or be a "tailgator"
Why don’t you put the conference realignment board on ignore if it’s so triggering to you?
It’s far from just me and you are adjusting to it by replying…We’re allowed to discuss realignment as it relates to UConn on the realignment board even if it’s bad for your mental health. sorry not sorry.
If the ACC gets its head cut off to that degree then I think you are more likely to see a Big East/ACC merger for basketball that drags UConn football along with it.
Football would be better off in a remnant ACC - the schedule would be better in terms of top to bottom competition, would help home attendance, TV viewership would increase, etc.
It definitely would be an improvement, but if that's the best we can do it'll be a pyrrhic victory.
I don't think it fits the literal definition but I get your sentiment.
Well, this is a good point. Our inability to enjoy what we have which is truly extraordinary. When you have a hockey guy like me who can hardly watch the women who can only manage a first half tie at 42 with fifteenth ranked Tennessee then go on in the second half and blow them out by 30 and it ends with my jaw on the floor ... watching a sport I supposedly am not much of a fan of. What does that say? Same thing with the men at Creighton. Two nine win seasons back to back in FB. Both men's and women's hockey teams rank right up there. Let's worry about realignment and conferences next summer and enjoy the moment.
Anyone who disagrees with Nelson.
Tailgaters all!
