The ACC isn't gonna die, it's just gonna change and adapt. Did the B12 die when Texas and OU left? No, they adapted and are fine - and those 2 brands are much bigger than FSU/Clemson and make up a much larger part of their football viewership than these two do for the ACC
Define winners?
Delusional. Why are you ignoring what happened to the PAC12?
I view those two leagues as a floor and not a ceiling. You don't think the predicted ACC remnants have more value than the new ACC which is even more dreadful than the old one? And comparing the remnants to the mountain west conference? Puh-lease.
The PAC12 is different. Schools like Tulane, UConn, USF weren't looking for a new home. I am confident the ACC will survive.
Because I'm not?
The conference is going to be split between the B1G, SEC and Big XII. Anyone worth associating with will be gone. Why you want to pal around with a bunch of losers after their conference dies is beyond me. Can't wait for a Tuesday night 10:00PM tip vs Oregon State!
I said we could go to the ACC OR B12, ya know where I said we were more likely to join considering the commish is pushing for basketball and we are a blue blood on the verge of another chip
Ok at this point you have to be a troll
I've been advocating for the B12 for multiple pages at this point and UConn is definitely closer to joining it than the ACC
I’d be shocked if any of the B12 Presidents know ( or care) anything about NIL.
Buddy, the Big XII had their chance to take us and didn't. It was all very public
That's the problem. If one gets out they can all get out and then there's nothing preventing a total collapse. It's why you can't do it unless there's some new legal way to bind everyone together
We were 100% a lock if not for all the four corner schools joining as Jamie Pollard revealed. There is a timeline where UConn is in the B12 and the presidents approved it, maybe after a bit of initial deliberation. Yormark himself never disqualified UConn like he did other schools, they just hit 18 members to match the P2 and paused to acclimate all the new members
"We were a lock until they had better options. But next time when they have better options it'll be different!"
Except we are more desirable to them then P5s OSU, Wazzu, and Calford who actually have Football success and fans. I didn't see them even making a pitch for those schools, much less the presidents agreeing on it like we had and they got left in the dust
But they're not going to expand right now. They're going to expand when FSU and Clemson kill the ACC. How do you not get this? I'm surprised you're intelligent enough to make an account but can't think 2 steps ahead
As I have said reiterated countless of times:
Let's not forget the fact that UConn is 4th highest nationally for basketball revenue now, even ahead of Kansas, Kentucky, IU, and Louisville
They don't care about that. They've never cared about it. They never will. How long have you been following this? A week?
That's what got us consideration from them last summer and we nearly squeaked into the B12. Is it really to crazy to expect that an even better season would get their attention again? I don't think so
Some of them do. Maybe okay state and TTU don’t.
Exactly like they obviously did care, we were going to be added
really? The Big 12 didn't think so
Such an obviously large brand. I don't think you understood this clearly enough. What you think about basketball does not matter. You are not invited to their party. You will be left out. The party is the P2 and they will exclude everybody that isn't them.
So there's a timeline where something that didn't happen, happened. How interesting.
Yes, a timeline, as in an alternate reality where an event replaces another in case you've never heard of this common expression used to describe hypothetical scenarios.
