Um, NO...And makes it easier for St. John's, Villanova, and Georgetown to make the move as well to strengthen markets and basketball in general.

I'm saying they're forcing the ACC to give them as little money as possible. If you tell me that nothing will keep you from leaving, I'm not cutting you a breakAgain: People behave strategically!
They're trying to get the ACC to give them more money.
Okay. Now tell us why the ACC would do that? Why isn't the immediate answer "no"?
No idea if this guy is legit but here it is
Which is why I'm in the group that doesn't think that even without some of its top schools the ACC's properties are really worth less than the XII's. And, if they aren't, one day that will be reflected in conference revenue.Seriously, if this goes down, it will be the biggest overpayment in the history of college sports.
They took 4 of the worst properties that NO ONE wanted to pay for back WHEN they were affiliated with USC, UCLA, Oregon, Washington, Cal and Stanford.
All told, the B12 would have added WV, TCU, Cincy, UCF, Houston, BYU, Arizona, ASU, Utah and Colorado.
Added to Iowa St, Kansas St., Kansas, Baylor, Oklahoma St, and Texas Tech.
And somehow this group is going to make $50m a year.
Wow. Yormark spinning gold.
Thamel reported on ESPN the Big 10 wont go to 20 with Cal and Stanford.
Similar predicament as Cinci, UConn, and USF. AAC West.So Cal and Stanford either go indy, or they keep the Pac name and invite MWC schools to get back up to 8 or 10.
Monty has always disliked UConn.Bleep Monty
It’s gonna be kind of funny when we end up back in the ACC with the former BE football schools and a few other pieces

I mean, so do I, but none of the three of us likely knows what will happen.I still have confidence GoKU has a better pulse on the B12 conference than Anthony.
If you’re contemplating a 300MM negotiated settlement, you have to ponder spending 1-2% of that on litigation. If nothing else, it might help with the negotiations.
This is a hugely interesting topic, at least to me as a Private Equity M&A lawyer. But that’s for another day and thread, while we watch the current situation play out.
Why is Utah better than UConn in big 12? I fail to see the rationale thereOr, this new pushes AZ/ASU/Utah to the B12 and leaves us with no life raft
They’re not. But the presidents in the Big 12 likely think so because they can’t think of any thoughts beyond footballWhy is Utah better than UConn in big 12? I fail to see the rationale there
Really strong football over a sustained period. Doesn't mean they are, but if they go, that's why.Why is Utah better than UConn in big 12? I fail to see the rationale there

Pretty remarkable all of this is being discussed and the largest tv market is basically being ignored.I didn't say that, but I'll give you a short answer. Football. None of CO, U of A or ASU has had any recent success on the gridiron. Utah has been. It would hardly be shocking to see the better football program, better geographical fit team. That's not saying there aren't reasons to take UConn as well, but ....
I feel you are like the dude of WV you say everything and eventually you hit the mark and claim you knew.We’re out. Cal, Stanford, Oregon, and Washington to B1G. Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah to Big 12.
Go to Congress and do what?Don't forget, Utah has the gameplan for threatening to go to Congress if they are not included
Good lineup of basketball schools at the moment but man that's a fugly lineup of schools.Seriously, if this goes down, it will be the biggest overpayment in the history of college sports.
