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

What if the Px breaks away from the ncaa? Have you considered the consequences of being outside looking in?

And does what? Run a tournament most of the country won't care about?

 

[Stinger92860]

And away we go!!! Please be UConn at 16. Please.

Screw Utah. Screw the ACC. This is a critical time for CR.

This much is obvious.

By sheer numbers there wouldn't be enough tournament teams to run a bracket with just teams from the SEC, B1G, ACC, and Big12.

I mean, really a first round matchup 1 v 16 seed of Kansas vs a 10-22 Georgia Tech?

I think you at least need the mid majors to put together something that makes sense.

do you think most of the country will blow off a national championship consisting of the top 60 to 80 programs in the country? Please! Think CFB where Less than 10% of the schools are Px. You may not care at that point because your school is shut out, but it will be a national event. They can probably afford to buy the March Madness branding.

If you were a top 250 player, which tier which you like to play for? Remember NIL opps.

I think it would be an absolute disaster and I don't think they're dumb enough to try it.

I read a rumor that UConn and the ACC are “talking.” This is a place that has connections in the Michigan athletic office. I would treat it like non-key, but the rumor is out there.

 

[Skiblets]

It’s time for the school to break the silence. Give us some sign. Fire up the bat signal.

It’s about the money, everything is about the money.

Everyone is saying Utah is a package deal with the Arizonas. I think it's over.

First GoKU, now GoBlue

Maybe this is Utah’s “UConn penciled in” moment

 

[Ha Who]

Now the media worries

So much for the Big 12 wanting to be a national conference and presence in the northeast!

 

[superjohn]

It’s about the money, everything is about the money.

People wouldn't be interested in a sport where every team makes it from the P-whatever. It makes the regular season worthless and it produces a watered down crappy tournament. People want the regular season to matter, they want the little guys having chance to make the tournament and do damage in the tournament. If they do anything for money it will be expanding the tournament which would also be a mistake but not anywhere near as dumb.

Where are you seeing that?

 

[Vuce]

I’m ready for the kick

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Mostly from that guy Scheer, the Arizona guy but I think Thamel suggested it too.

Dumb question:

Won't a P2 or even a P3 run into anti trust issues? What's stopping the FTC from saying you can't continue to consolidate?

We got that today with Anthony's article

Dumb question:

The fact that the FTC has no teeth and allows hundreds of monopolies?

 

[WestHartHusk]

Just so the math is clear…together, the teams in the PAC are worth about $200M. Apart, 8 of them are worth $325M (assuming 4 to Big12 and 4 to Big10), so by extrapolation WSU and OSU are worth -$125M?

Can’t think of a better way for the conference to get back at FSU.

Yeah it's definitely a rumor but I think it's too early to say it's over.

 

[UConn Dan]

Let’s not get worried until Utah schedules a special board meeting

I would not say that I have much confidence in the rumor. Just passing it along.
