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

How dare somebody post an actual tweet!

And a key one at that. Shocking!

Wow, re UNH. Had no idea this was coming.

As a kid, I loved reading the UNH football box scores. They were a beast in the late 80s and early 90s! The Whipple & Sparano days.

In other news- UConn will have three more summers to make a deal with Brett and Co.

Nice from ESPN:

Yormark has also been aggressive in further expansion, although the league has been unreceptive to the additions of Connecticut in all sports and Gonzaga in basketball. (The talks with Gonzaga eventually faded, and that school joined the refurbished Pac-12. The discussions with UConn stalled in September.)

Oh joy. Another summer of being slowly sucked into believing the possibility of a big 12 invite only to get kicked in the nads as football season starts up.

NEC: desperate conference survival measures, lowly Chicago State and New Haven. For Central, what, if any, better escape opportunities exist?

None.

Central is where it belongs. They’re a low major.

Wonder what SCSU is thinking? Losing their major rival. Stuck in a conference that gets raided regularly where they are the only public school. Is there a world where they join the NEC or drop to the Little East?

Careful this may get deleted because politics?

I don’t really understand how it’s political in any way (it’s not), it’s a major study being announced that could lead to significant reform in collegiate athletics. Thats like the primary topic we discuss on the CR board besides realignment itself lol

Be interesting to see how Nick manages this along with running his VRBO house. Might need to stop cutting his own lawn.

I’m kidding (but also not) lol

Now that Dodge doesn’t make the Charger anymore, even Nick Saban needs two jobs

Hopefully the commission has direct representation from athletes and the average fan perspective as opposed to high end donors or this risks being too university/"owner" centric.

Re-organize conferences? I'd like to think that that gives us an opportunity to be a part of a regionally, sensible conference, but I think it's more likely that it's code for throwing BCU and it's ilk to the curb.

It's on you if you're not prepared for it.

Clemson, ND announce 12-year schedule deal

"The brands need to play each other more," Radakovich said. "That's what has to happen. Do we divide into two divisions? Who gets to play Notre Dame? How are we doing those kinds of things? And if the SEC goes to nine (conference games) we might have to go to nine as well with a bifurcated brands and non-brands [divide]."

RIP ACC.... (Rest In Pieces)

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

But they won't pay for UConn to go to the Big 12 or ACC. Wake up Connecticut taxpayers! Time to put a tariff on ESPN activities.

Actually, rumor had it that ESPN was ready to pay for UConn to the Big12 but Fox balked (obviously because they didn't want to lose the most valuable property of the Big East).
