ACC adds UConn and USF to replace FSU? Throw in Memphis if you need another school.
Because this is supposed to be Key Tweets. Bilas is doing Bilas things.
Both ESPN and fox have indicated that they will treat the addition of Connecticut as if it were a P5 addition and give us a full share.
"You flap your gums, you get Connecticut!"Well, it's not like you can make FSU more upset, right? They're already talking their garbage anyway.
As per Yormark and the Baylor AD, yes, they have.lmfao they have?
According to Yormark they have.lmfao they have?
According to Yormark they have.
No, they won't. LOL... Because the conference is worse off without them. They'd have to pay MORE than the annual payout for the ACC to even consider it.
Every current P5 team the Big 12 adds is an automatic $33mish kicker.

State of CT should offer to pay FOX the difference to get UCONN into the B12.I thought the report was the ESPN had agreed to the 'UConn P5 rate', but that Fox had not agreed (the B12 is a combo ESPN and Fox deal). Fox has UConn locked in at the Big East rate, so no big interest in paying 5x what they are already paying for UConn.
I do know that Fox needs to approve separately for its 1/3 share. My recollection of the Baylor tweet was that both had approved Connecticut, but that was a couple of weeks ago now.I thought the report was the ESPN had agreed to the 'UConn P5 rate', but that Fox had not agreed (the B12 is a combo ESPN and Fox deal). Fox has UConn locked in at the Big East rate, so no big interest in paying 5x what they are already paying for UConn.
Lol, it's not either of our tax dollars so, sure, why not?State of CT should offer to pay FOX the difference to get UCONN into the B12.
Unfortunately they would most likely only add Cal and Stanford and leave UConn for when ND joinsAre they interested in survival? Are you watching this carnage? I said it yesterday and it is still true, they should add UConn, Cal and Stanford right now. Unfortunately, ESPN would have to sign off on that.
Definitely significantly greater. But that's because the NCAA takes $800m a year. What I'm saying is that the nonP3s should hold out for something much more than they get now.Probably less but the amount would still be greater to those schools then they receive now and most likely significantly greater. That’s the calculation Yormark is working with.
And the media entities working with him have calculated it’s more profitable for them as well and indicated this to him when they backed his vision.
The statement by C9C9 if he is a reliable source indicated we are considered the number 1 bb brand in the number 2 sport.
UConn is to basketball what Alabama is to football.
Or the state of Connecticut should get rid of some tax breaks/funding of ESPN. Then maybe they'd put a little more pressure on conferences to take UConn.State of CT should offer to pay FOX the difference to get UCONN into the B12.
Are we calling him THE BY now?I look at the BY as being more interesting, stimulating and relevant than Sudoku or crossword puzzles for my aging brain.
What leverage would they have?Definitely significantly greater. But that's because the NCAA takes $800m a year. What I'm saying is that the nonP3s should hold out for something much more than they get now.
They should negotiate as a collective.Definitely significantly greater. But that's because the NCAA takes $800m a year. What I'm saying is that the nonP3s should hold out for something much more than they get now.
They still need one more.In a couple of moves, B1G basically took all the PAC-12 top properties. As a result, now B12 has all the leverage to add the teams they wanted in the first place. Hopefully, ASU and UTAH don't have the leverage they had last week. If the B12 is smart, they add us and ASU right now. They DON'T NEED UTAH.
