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

I caved....subscribed to peacock this week for the US Open. $20 is the price of a sandwich these days in lower CT so it wasn't too much to really debate.

Been enjoying the golf coverage...watching now.

I did the same earlier this week. Pretty good tv/movie selection too. Much better value than a lot of these streaming services.

The only streaming platform I have problems with is Peacock. And it’s not internet related it’s a problem at the source.

This also seems odd to me. Keep troubleshooting because the bandwidth on their end seems to be fine for me on multiple smart TV's.

There is not much to talk about. No realignment is happening, and the ACC will be in court for the next decade while everyone plays the wait-and-see game.

People have been saying realignment is dead for years. When Louisville joined the ACC, people said realignment is over. Since then, we have seen SMU, Cal, and Stanford join the ACC, the Pac 12 blow up, Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC join the Big 10, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and Arizona St. join the Big 12, and Clemson and FSU trying to get out of the ACC. And, we have seen the AAC restructure with Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF going to the Big 12, UConn go to the Big East, and a number of schools join the conference. And, the SBC and CUSA had significant movement and UMass announced they are going to the MAC.

And, we haven't even started the era of revenue sharing with athletes as well as the shift to streaming which will create additional conference uncertainty. There are even rumors of the ACC cutting schools to increase revenues for the top schools. Will Notre Dame accept the fact that they are at a disadvantage as they are not eligible for a CFP first round bye as they are not in a conference?

The bottom line is that conference realignment is not over.

Uhhh not when there is a literally a message from Peacock saying stand by…

Stop carrying the water for this crap service.

IndyCar just announced they are moving from NBC to Fox. The fanbase rejoiced.

Peacock is garbage.

If I go through peacock on my cable box it's kinda slow and clunky. Using the app on my TV, it's fine and works just like Netflix or Prime. I've just don't use the cable box way and it seems fine.

I think it depends on what you are watching.

I’ll be ditching in August.

It is, but the almost all the of revenues that the NCAA has are from the basketball tournament and the proposed settlement is with the NCAA. That said, there should be an annual payment coming from the CFP to help fund the settlement.
 
The odds of anonymous message board posters hearing legitimate information about conference realignment that concerns UConn in a positive light are the same as Halle Berry knocking on my door and begging me to sleep with her. Not that great.

You’re right , since the over 1000 presidents of non P4 schools apparently haven’t any intestinal fortitude I don’t suspect anything will get done.
Its apparent who runs the NCAA and presidents at schools like UConn are simply along for the ride.
 
They say that there is no such thing as bad publicity. The future of the ACC has become sports entertainment fodder for twitterati and YouTube podcasters. And the speculation is heating up.

Entertainment for the dog days of summer..

Can Rhett go back to Scarlett ?

Does Rick stay in Casablanca and watch Lisa fly off to Lisbon with Victor Lazlo ?
 
Is there anything more annoying than the "I'm hearing things, but I can't tell you what they are, or where I'm hearing them but they are definitely things and I'm definitely hearing them" post? Minimally, one would think that you could post either the rumor, or the source e.g., "there are credible rumblings that we are being looked at by the Big Ten" or "I'm hearing that news could be coming soon from a decent source in the AD's office."

If you can't do either one of those things, why bother posting? Basically those posts are either trolling or the poster jumping up and down saying "look at me I'm important."

The rumblings are probably the same ones I’ve heard. The ACC leftovers and ESPN are preparing to replace 4 schools. If we can get in on an ESPN supported ACC 2.0, it’s probably the best realistic option. The support of ESPN is critical to keeping the other members intact.

Agree. I might all certain that ESPN isn't going to decide to "big east" the ACC, stripping out the most valuable teams, moving them to other conferences and then lowballing the remaining members. Under that scenario, Connecticut to the ACC might make sense for ESPN to underwrite.

Would love to have the big 12 have interest in us at the same time so that we would be in the conversation for a full share.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure whether I would prefer to be in the big 12 or a weekend ACC. The big 12 might have a better future, but depending on who's left, the ACC could make more sense geographically and give us the opportunity to play some old Big East rivals.

Josh Pate: 'Reconstruction of the ACC is Imminent'

In a recent podcast episode, Lake Kick’s Josh Pate discussed the inevitability of the ACC being reconstructed. Pate explained a gif he recently shared on social media, implying that the ACC’s road ahead will not be easy to stay true to. “Yeah, I think the ACC is kinda sorta screwed,” Pate...
