I like UConn bball, but Calhoun is pretty much a confirmed ass and Ken is a friend, so I'm not gonna concede that one

A few years ago my buddy, a Syracuse fan posted something nasty about UConn so I responded. I see another nasty anti-UConn/Calhoun post and I recognize the name as Ken Krayeske. I of course had to post the video of Calhoun owning the little twerp and told him how it takes balls to still show his face in Connecticut after getting destroyed on national TV by the biggest personality in the state. I was confused as to why my friend would be friends with Krayeske but he assured me that Krayeske is a tool but he was friend requested by him and he recognized him as a fellow Cuse alumn. . . . . . . .this is way too much time devoted to that putz, let's get back on track.

I don't mean to endlessly continue this topic, but I've been friends with the Krayeske family for decades. Ken was ridiculously out of line in his questioning there both in scope and timing, but outside of that he's actually a really good guy and comes from a great family. Yes, he's a Cuse alum but he'd be the first to call out Boeheim for his nonsense. His Calhoun escapade had absolutely nothing to do with his SU ties.

Kind of like how Pete Thamel's anti UConn slant has nothing to do with him being a Cuse guy.

The truth comes out. I don't recall him going to any SU conference and calling out Boeheim.

Seriously, he could be the greatest guy ever. Fahk that guy.

1-on-1 w/Swoff: Says Notre Dame will receive full share of #ACCNetwork revenue, as opposed to the 1/5 share it gets from overall rights.

  • 1:03 PM - 21 Jul 2016

Notre Dame was presented a baited hook (or maybe it was the ACC that was presented)....I reckon their basketball, 5 games of football, and olympic sports make enough of a draw for the network...more than Wake and BC, I would reckon.

The Domers will get paid for their home games by NBC. The rest of their sports will go to ESPN and ACCN.

I suspect that the inclusion of Notre Dame as a full ACCN partner might bring the Irish a little closer if that day ever comes that they have to bite the bullet and join up....but I don't see it even if they are denied a playoff opportunity.
 
.-.
nope...football, basketball, baseball, soccer, volleyball, etc.

The ESPN ain't stupid...they make money off of the SECN and will make money off of the ACCN...

And they are covering their bets with traditional and digital programming.

All I needed to know - Syra.... and its alumni has come to resent our athletic and academic success. Further, as we have passed by Syracuse in many metrics, people begin to wonder why they should pay 2 1/2 times the cost of UConn to go to a less prestigious private university. Simply put, Syracuse will not be an ally of UConn in CR at all. They would rather see us languish in the gulag conference so they won't be compared to us.

As we look at opportunities for Big 12 expansion, I support considering @UHouston for the conference. UH is a huge asset for Texas.


UT President.....

Gresh and Joe harped on this on 1080 this eve. Seems the TX Guv wants the Cougars. And Gresh mentioned some analytics report that really trumps up other Cougars.
BYU. We need a 4 team expansion as we are behind those 2 now, and Cincy

Shouldn't we ban any mention of Gresh? Mods? He has no clue that his job with the most powerful AM station in CT is to find the sunshine on all things CRA related for UConn. It is not a place to be fat and stupid and display one's ignorance.
 
My own personal, rationalized guess:

4-teams: BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UConn make the most sense.
2-teams: Probably boils down to BYU + Cincinnati. If BYU doesn't work out for whatever reason, then maybe Cincinnati and UConn.

Well, we know the new Big 12 teams won't be both UConn and UCF, because Oklahoma and Texas won't allow a bigger rivalry into the league.

Matt Baker ‏@MBakerTBTimes · 6h6 hours ago
@MattBrownCFB I hope, then, that UConn/UCF both stay where they are. They can take away Border War, UT/A&M...but never the Civil Conflict!!!

Matt Brown‏@MattBrownCFB
@MBakerTBTimes Oh it would be devastating. Worse than losing the Backyard Brawl and OU-Nebraska.

Matt Brown ‏@MattBrownCFB · 6h6 hours ago
@BenKercheval The conFLiCT is a national treasure and I will accept no arguments against this

Big 12 can't hide from reality that Red River simply can't measure up to The Civil Conflict

Memphis: FedEx has been dangling millions of advertising dollars in front of the Big 12 in exchange for a Memphis invite to the Big 12. On top of that, in a letter to West Virginia president Gordon Gee, Memphis president David Rudd said that the school's "partnership with FedEx would uniquely position [Memphis] to request only a portion of new revenue for several years until renegotiation of the conference media [rights] agreement occurs." In other words, Memphis, conceivably, would be willing to accept partial distribution of conference revenue all the way until 2024-25. That would be worth millions to current Big 12 members and should, at the least, command the league's attention.

How does a public company do that?

By this same logic they should be perfectly fine then when they are left in the AAC after all this is done, right? FedEx is giving them all this excess cash so their athletic budget should be able to stay right where it is, no matter where they are....oh wait.....This is such a crock of s&%#t

Exactly. Whole thing is ridiculous. Very nice that FedEx is based in Memphis, doesn't mean they can just give money to the Big 12.

F Memphis anyway. Piece of garbage school with 2 good football seasons in its history. Shouldn't even be in the conversation.

Same way that Nike helped blow up Oregon into a contender...a reported $300 million in contributions reported so far by Phil Knight. Either personal money from a billionaire or a corporate contribution.

Or T Boone Pickens and his $500 million in contributions to Oklahoma State...as he famously said about his name on campus..."it'll be a hell of a long time before someone says, 'who the hell was that guy' ".
 
Mike DeCourcy from Sporting News listed his top 4 candidates for realignment - BYU and Cincy were 1 and 2.....then MEMPHIS at 3 and UConn at 4. I guess he is not considering academics at all - if we thought Louisville was rough in terms of what they bring to the table academically, Memphis isn't even on the map! I was also wondering how FedEx would be able to just pay off the Big 12 on behalf of the school?! Here we go again people
 
And, while not as well know as Phil Knight or T Boone Pickens, Fed Ex's Fred Smith is worth $2.3 billion....what's a couple of hundred million when you have 2,300 million?

Academics were never going to matter. In 2016 all that matters is what your record was the previous football season
 
There are some programs with very wealthy entrepreneur contributors....Under Armour's Plank at Maryland, T Bonne at Okie State, Phil Knight and Nike at Oregeon, the Gaylord's ($80 million contribution) at Oklahoma, McClane at Baylor ($200 million contribution). John Arillaga at Stanford (100's of millions in contributions) and on...
