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

All we can do is try and win games. Beating NC State is job 1. I’m supremely disappointed in UConn’s unwillingness to engage on this issue. We are afraid of our own shadows. Get out there and frigging sell the brand coast to coast. Cut some scheduling deals with the PAC 4. Hiding away in the corner is no way to advance out cause.

Umm. We might have to wait and see WHAT THEY decide to do before we take shots at our administration for not doing anything.

I do wonder why if Apple wants in the game so badly, they don't work with those 4 to cherry pick teams into a FB only conference, while making it financially viable to select teams to walk away from the AAC, MWC, etc.

To engage whom? You? Because you have no friggin idea what contact they've had with the other conferences.

How is the UNC/NC State dynamic any different than Cal/UCLA? They were allowed to split from each other into different conferences.

Because the state won't allow it. So basically they both go to the same conference or 1 goes to B1G & the other to the SEC or we stay where we are

Yeah that's nothing new, the UNC/NCSU dynamic is unique compared to most of the other instate rivals that split. So it we both go or we both stay

It would actually align well within the SEC- Texas/A&M, Ole Miss/Miss St. Alabama/Auburn, Tennessee/Vandy. Plenty of doubled up programs within the same state within the SEC.
 
Didn't the Virginia state legistlature force the ACC to take VA Tech due to UVA being in the conference already?

Please understand that each state may have different views on something like this.

In fairness, exasperated would be a better adjective. I can't fathom how someone can't understand why a decision the State of California makes that affects two flagships isn't binding on a decision that another state will make between a flagship and a separate university.

It is a simply reflection of the country. Everything we have is for profit or winner take all with other affected be damned. Whether it is health care or college education cost, it is all for profit. People and schools are just pawns to the profit making machines. Conference realignment is just part of the overall system so not sure why anyone is surprised.

Could not agree more! Things would be so much better if we had a collectivist system rather than a capitalist system.

ND could save The ACC tomorrow by joining. They won't. Ever.

ND is pushing for the addition of Stanford and USC to The ACC, despite it serving no one else in the conference's interests but their own.

If people haven't figured it out by now, fvk ND. I hope they game the system all the way to finding themselves on the outside of it looking in.

ND could threaten to start a new conference with Stanford and California. That would get the ACC motivated.

Well as is, Notre Dame has a tougher path in the playoffs than the champions from the p4 leagues. But he designed it that way, so I'm assuming he is fine with that.
