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

Interesting that Cully said that Mike Burton had leaked to him but told Cully to sit on it. Multiple leaks or did Burton leak to multiple podcasters?

He also took a crap all over Jerrod. "A prominent guy at UConn think he's a d.o.u.che." :eek:

(Cully is tough to listen to. He sounds like he's board listening to himself.)

If you're not a diehard, it is tough listen. Cully meanders all over the place. But he is good for one laugh out loud moment every episode. Last week he called former Yale coach Jack Siedlecki an "annoying bald bleep" when they coached together. Had me in stitches.

Wow he was really dragging Jarred and based on what people at UConn are saying, but said Mike Burton values him so at least that's good.

Is Jared annoying to anyone here? Thought so.

For a second I thought you were saying Jared had over a million listens. I thinking that's great since he is (was?) one of us.

Painful…. The first minute was like watching two guys play a drinking game. Not sure what the attraction is.

No Schuman does. But he does a lot of coaching breakdowns, I think he gets a lot of followers from that.

It would work and it would be good for everyone involved, which is why it probably won't happen. Regular basketball games between old Big East rivals (UConn, Nova, GTown, Syracuse, Pitt, Louisville) would all be top notch draws, in addition to the obvious big matchups between the top Big East teams and UNC / Duke.

The football addition of UConn will obviously help us monetarily, but will also help teams like BC who's fan base is (not surprisingly) much smaller than the ACC predicted...

We don’t need all of the Big East. Just the good programs.

Not really. If the ACC invites UConn, Marquette, Creighton, Villanova and St. John’s they aren’t saying no LOL.

If the ACC wants to cherry pick, I don't think they would grab Creighton over GTown. Historic rivalries, nation's capital, highly competitive academics, etc.

But if they cherry pick, then it's not a merger. So long as it includes us, I wouldn't care about the rest...

Basketball-onlys would never do it despite it making sense.

Both the ACC and Big East better start taking a serious look at basketball and where it's headed. Some type of merger would help both. Whether a merger or cherry pick, it is an entirely different conference than the SEC and B1G. UConn, Nova, Creighton, Marquett. Maybe throw in Army and Navy with St. John's and Georgetown. WVU or Cincy Temple. The rest of the Big East have markets, or ballast.

Maybe they would just take Georgetown. They would be absolute morons passing on Creighton.

There is no reason not to invite the whole league, since the league would definitely go to an unequal revenue share if this happened. Maybe require an NIL minimum to remain members.

The ACC needs markets to drive subscriptions. And by overlaying the heavily populated northeastern markets where the ACC's weakest programs are, it makes those markets an order of magnitude more valuable to the ACC then they ever would be alone.

These kind of mergers are low hanging fruit in I-Banking. The #4 and #5 player in a market merge to compete with 1 and 2, and put 3 into a corner. That is what most M&A is. A second-year associate at Morgan Stanley or Goldman Sachs could create a good merger deck on this idea in two days. The ACC would rather sue itself and argue over league documents that people may or may not have.
 
K specifically mentions UConn. "We could let, not let, but Connecticut would have the opportunity to play football in our league."

The Big East has leverage here. K knows that the ACC is struggling while UConn is red hot. The Big East has MSG. No question cuse, bcu, pitt, louisville would benefit. Duke wants to be in NYC. A merger would really lock out all the other P conferences from northeast and east coast basketball. I think they'd have to lock in UNC somehow because otherwise, the ACC side isn't bringing much else to the table.

Man, I’m starting to love Coach K. Never had that on my bingo card.

Why? They need to have the Nebraska market locked up?? Or they just need to have our 6th best team??

Either it's a full merger, or they are going to cherry pick the teams that don't require a large amount of feeding. You would REALLY need to show me that Creighton fits the latter...

Nope. Even in an unequal setup there are plenty of reasons.

Sone of them are utterly dead weight. And scheduling and so on.
