Re: your meeting

Linda,

We will tell YOU what to do. YOU will do it! Or the G5 will quickly become the G6.

Don’t bother us with this nonsense again.

PS. And don’t be stupid - add a flagship school that wins national championships regularly in basketball and is improving its football team.

How American Athletic Conference has declined since UConn joined Big East: 'Not the league it was'​

From that article:

"(Athletic director) Dave Benedict will go down in history, John Toner first and Dave Benedict second, for making the best decision ever for the University of Connecticut and Connecticut Basketball," Auriemma said.

"A lot of people appreciate that we're back in the Big East. We're playing familiar schools that we have great rivalries and tradition with. When we were playing teams that they didn't recognize or didn't have rivalries with, it was reflected in our attendance. In this moment we have a good conference to play in, we have a good nonconference record and schedule, we have a fantastic situation here. But who knows what the future holds, right?"

We still need to get out of the Big East though.

Kind of hard to have a "super league" if you don't have the super conferences. Maybe they should call it the "pretty good league" instead.

I have no idea what the heck this thing hopes to be. But hopefully the idea is to beat the SEC and Big Ten by just being big and good with lots of alums and population that are otherwise left out. Maybe we can bust down the door as the only successful basketball team in New England and the closest athletic program to New York City that is available.

You know how you know that this thing will never take off?

It’s called “Project Rudy”

They normally try to start the project name with the same letter as the topic. So Rudy, R, Realignment. It's funny how some projects take on the character of what they're named after though. Company I worked was owned by a couple PE firms and wanted to cash out their equity. So they called it Essex. I asked my boss if it was ironic they were naming the project after a ship that was famous for the crew having to eat each other. Things didn't go well, they didn't get the price they wanted and they started trying to piece meal the company off. Still didn't get what they hoped and made less than if they just sold it for the original offers and in the meantime all the senior leadership threw each other under the bus to save themselves and while they're all still in the industry, most of them are no longer on speaking terms with each other. Turned out to be a bit prophetic in the end.

LSU Commit Bryce Underwood Declines Michigan's Rumored $10.5M NIL Deal in IG Photo

It seems Bryce Underwood won't be tempted by a massive NIL offer from Michigan. On3 reported Thursday that the Wolverines are "prepared" to offer the elite…

This is why we need to get into a power conference. NIL is about to get out of control beyond what we bring in for revenue. But one could also argue its why ACC and Big12 are destined to fall out of Power status.
