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

I'm a little depressed now knowing it only gets cold in Connecticut on Thursday nights in November

I ask this: when has ANYONE (whether it be an actual reporter, analyst, blogger, twitnit, etc) EVER had information BEFORE a school was ANNOUNCED to be leaving/going to another conference? Has it ever occurred?

Tony Terzi, had Louisville to acc before news broke.

 

[MattMang23]

How long before it's announced are you talking? Because McMurphy has gotten it almost every time. Just it hasn't been days before the public announcement, which should be expected since nothing is final till the vote happens.

in what context did he report this? I like Tony (was actually on this show recently and I think he is a genuinely good guy) but I kinda doubt he had inside info given his role at WDRC. If he did post this before it was announced (would like to see proof of that) I guess it is possible he has a connection at the ACC or another affiliated party but I find it hard to believe that info was somehow leaked.

@whaler11 stated he got it from an ACC ref, but he had b4 anyone else.

mcmurphy does not count because he is used as a leak due to his employer (basically he is a modern day press release writer in 140 character chunks) giving him info to leak and get page hits. sigh. that said, and to your point, he would be the guy to watch as August unfolds.

He tweeted on Saturday they were moving away from UConn and towards Louisville and I'm pretty sure he got it from a ref connected to the ACC who was doing a Sacred Heart game. TT does the PA for SHU basketball... well at least back then he was I haven't been there in a while.

 

[UConn Dan]

Didn't Syracuse and Pitt to ACC leak before the official announcement? I recall we were playing Iowa State that Friday night when the sh i t hit before the official press conference the next morning?

And Rutgers and Maryland rumblings before it was official as well.

News will break before it's official - it's inevitable especially with the Big 12. We just won't know for sure it's official initially.

Yeah, I believe he tweeted out UCONN=screwed.

How the heck did you enjoy sitting in SHU's gym? "Seats" are some of the worst I've ever experienced.

 

[Charley Horse]

Yeah - it would probably get blow out ratings though. Usually they crush some ant called SW Oklahoma Tech and only Texas watches. Now they can blow out someone in the northeast on a game people in two time zones will watch.

You have us, the Texas Longhorns, mixed up with Texas A&M. We're the guys who play Notre Dame and Cal out of conference. They're the ones who play Sam Houston St or Prairie View A&M.

Don't you think Tejas can use some good PR via women's bball program? Football will take care of itself. We almost landed the Patriots.

Hmmm, this name sounds familiar. Kasich. Kasich... where have I heard that name before?

Never has a conference announced they were open for business.

 

[amory]

Never has a conference announced they were open for business.

And they really shouldn't have this time either.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

28k for Texas at the Rent is just a bold faced lie.

28k for maybe ECU coming off 4 straight losing seasons.

How about Houston and Memphis dream seasons the past year? Their attendance figures were around ours in our lowest point in program history.

If it ends up being BYU and Cincinnati it'll be a bitter pill to swallow, but at least understandable. Having us in the same breath as Houston and Memphis is a joke.

Really?
Big Ten Statement on Expansion
The COP/C believes that the timing is right for the conference to once again conduct a thorough evaluation of options for conference structure and expansion. As a result, the commissioner was asked to provide recommendations for consideration by the COP/C over the next 12 to 18 months.

We are going B1G - 10 not 12

 

[UC313]

Sure, lets drag this out for another 12-18. I'll end up buying a burner phone, signing up for twitter and holing out in my basement until december 2018.

Just to be clear everyone - this was the B1G's comment in 2009, not today.

Here is the interview with Dodd:

Twitter Card

He talks about UConn at 8:09.

He is very negative on UConn at 16:00.

E-F- - the gloves are off. He is a walking, talking piece of who is dead from the ass up.

It is a joke, but keep it in context. Memphis and Houston were discussed as a pure money grab. They would come very cheap and OU and UT would bounce once the GOR is over. By adding those two schools over UConn, the Big 12 would simply admit its inevitable demise, but would make the most money possible on their way out.

Maybe not such a good sign for UC that Kasich is now stumping for them?
