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

If you read the Clemson filing, they have been focused on leaving the ACC since early 2023 and wanted to negotiate their exit without a lawsuit.

The Worst idea. The good basketball programs will eventually get a seat somewhere and were stuck playing tulane, usf, memphis,bc, wake, etc gross

The ACC will just do the same thing the B12 did to stabilize, just add schools

UConn, OSU, Wazzu, USF, Tulane, etc

But I could also see the B12 going for us l, so it depends on who approaches first

Yes, and? They'll do it just the same because they think its theirs.

edit: they don't care about killing the golden goose because they think they are the golden goose.

Every move in realignment has been about making more money. It has nothing to do about what the conferences think of themselves but about how they can maximize their revenue. It comes down to a simple question:

Does having UConn basketball in your conference will make you more money than not having them?

The answer is clearly yes

If it provides more money and CFP payout? UConn needs the cash for so many reasons including paying the BB coaching staff.

Who exactly do you think is going to be left in the ACC? Are you people this clueless? It's PAC-2 all over again

Why would it provide more money? The conference isn't going to exist in a few years

Its not quite that simple... it's do they make you more many than you'd have to pay out for them. If UConn had taken a reduced deal maybe they would be in the Big XII, but that wasn't in vogue yet.. heck the Big XII was desperate enough that they negotiated differences into some of the Pac-12 additions deals. Utah was excluded from the provision that would've bound them to the conference for 99 years and Colorado got a signing bonus.

UConn isn't getting into the P2 but they are the highest-earning G5, the only one above 100M annually and about on par with Colorado, KState and NC State. We were right around BYU level as the massive G5s and they made the P5 jump. As the sole member of this group left we will likely be the last G5 making the jump for a long time


We almost got into the B12 alone with our championship run last year (and yes, we were confirmed as an approved addition before the four corner schools all became available at once). This year our viewership has skyrocketed even more and this is disregarding the fact we are on the cusp of another legendary March Madness run and all the attention that comes with. It's the perfect time considering the ACC and B12 are destabilizing and looking for members right now


UConn could be receiving a B12 or ACC invite as early as this summer, don't let Zoo or the other people here tell you otherwise

I can’t remember his name but we used to have a poster who was insistent there was gonna be a bidding war between the Big and ACC over us. Maybe you changed your name

That's not me but I am confident UConn will receive a bid from someone. College athletics have changed so much over the course of the past few years. The B12 and ACC are de-emphasizing football as they can't compete with the P2 and there's only so many brands left they can acquire to protect themselves

The only guys likely leaving the ACC are UNC, UVA, FSU, and maybe Clemson. There's still a lot of big brands left, including our old rivals. I also wouldn't be surprised if we saw a Big East-ACC basketball merger one day to counteract the B12 basketball dominance

LOL. Don’t even try with these people.

When it all falls apart, CalFord will probably link up with the PAC-2 and maybe they raid the MWC. Or join the MWC.

People here are torturing themselves needlessly.

Yeah ok. Someone hasn't been paying attention.

You have to have a conference to get more money.

Whatever is left will get a temporary PAC 2 type deal.

The only way we should accept a reduced deal is if football is involved.

We don’t even know what the ACC would be. These people don’t want to look before they leap.

Oh yes how could I forget, the B1G has dibs on Boston College.

Yeah you're right we should join the conference that's going to be BC, Wake, Tulane, USF, Memphis, Temple, Cal, Stanford, OSU, SMU and WSU. Perfect fit. Brilliant idea.

If UConn is getting the actual media revenue it needs to support itself then why not? Is the argument about bad basketball? In that case, what happened to Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville, Duke, VT, and NC State in your list? They aren't leaving unless it's to the B12 which is another likely destination for UConn

Also again, a BE-ACC basketball superconference is a possibility and was even brought up by the hosts during our College Gameday appearance

You forgot Syracuse. That's OK, pretty much everyone else has too.

Because there won't be any revenue. At the very best you're looking at Georgia Tech, Wake, BC and Syracuse remaining and at that point the conference is dead and they'll have to redo a media deal.

Let's say the ACC remnants gets a miserable media distribution of $15 million per school. That would still be over three times what the big east gets currently and about double what it's likely to get in the future.

Just saying.

I don't see who is going to pay them anything north of $10m. The AAC gets $7 and the MWC gets $4
