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

I don’t think the idea of an ACC-NBE merger makes any sense. If, and I doubt it would happen, the ACC added NBE teams, it would cherry pick. If you have UConn along with BC you don’t have any need for Providence. If you have St John’s and Villanova why give money to Seton Hall. Maybe you want Marquette but not Butler or Creighton. None of it makes sense, but taking everyone makes the least sense of all.

You are right. The ACC is absolutely crushing it as is. Why make any changes?

You are forgetting what made the Big East successful in the first place. If you have bcu, then you need pc. local rivalries trump distant markets.

It doesn’t really matter who you leave in or out of the new K Superconference since it has absolutely no chance of ever happening.

It doesn’t make any sense for the Big East. Leaving a round robin conference of like-minded schools to merge with a 18-school conference that lost any semblance of reason a long time ago. God knows where the conference tournament would be yearly, or how many schools would be included. I would not want to see UConn in it, so I cannot imagine schools like Nova or Georgetown wanting any part of it.

It may not be ideal for UConn long term, but the other schools in the Big East are pretty happy with it.

End of the day...are you really in a conference with a team that you don't play annually/regularly?

A 30 team BB conference with 2 divisions would mean the annual conference schedule would be...

• 7 home against division opponents
• 7 road against division opponents
• 3 home against non-division opponents
• 3 road against non-division opponents

So ultimately...it would take 5 years to have a home and home against each non-division opponent. Also, there would be 3 non-division opponents that wouldn't be on schedule until year 3.

This of course assumes that there aren't designated 'rivalry' games between non-division opponents.

An 18 team FB conference with 2 divisions would mean zero non-division opponents.

• 4 home against division opponents
• 4 road against division opponents

look, you aren't making a league this size work, stop thinking you can. it will exist in a perilous existence until something akin to atom fission occurs.
