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

This thread has certainly gone downhill

This thread has certainly gone downhill

There's nothing going on with Connecticut and realignment, thus, there's no key tweets to post in this thread.

Ummm… now that’s an interesting wrinkle. Feels very super league-esque

 

[ScottVib]

So who is it going to be, the ACC Football "super-league" or a second-tier league. It could actually be brilliant if the ACC secures 2 auto-bids in the 16-team playoff and then their second-tier league becomes the highest G5 league; may allow for them to steal and extra share of money.

So the earliest you will see departures is ‘31-if they even depart.

The six teams is about the possibility of a super league. The ACC doesn’t even have 6 teams that deserve to be in such a league so that’s precious.

The ACC agreement defines the exit fee, the timeline to leave the conference, the ability for a group to exit for a super league, new rev share model, and the ability for a school to leave with their media rights. So, we won’t have to argue about Grant of Rights anymore.

I envision the “super-league” to be more of an NFL-lite between the SEC/B1G and some also-rans. Not sure that there are even 6 ACC teams worth a super-league invitation. Maybe FSU, Clemson, UNC, UVa, Miami based on history?

At least in the ACC

I live out on the western part of the Florida panhandle and plenty of our friends have kids enrolled at South Alabama and at Troy. Plus, I have a niece from CT who's a Chanticleer. And none of our friends' kids or my niece went to those schools due to grades or financial restraints. Kids can have fun there without the pressure of going to a bigger name school.

Sorry man, but you 100% land at Souuth Alabama for grades and/or money.

JMU leapfrogging us would be the most Rule 1 thing ever.

The Sun Belt has more than one Executive? Who knew.

[RitzLuce1]

Yawn. Put up or shut up. Besides BYU, the additions haven't brought much to the league.

 

[jostar1]

Now we’re talking!

When I saw this my thought was: The XII jerked around UConn so much the last couple of seasons that their only business is monkey business....

 

[CL82]

As I've said in the past, I'll believe we are changing conferences when they are painting a new conference logo on the court at Gampel.

Then again, every time there's been Internet buzz about a move for us, it didn't happen. So, if everything is silent, does that mean it will?

TBF, paint can be removed or painted over. Awaiting a game factually kicking off or tipping off as a new conference member may be warranted. /s

Houston? They've been a 1 seed every year they have been in the conference and almost won the natty last year.

 

[KryHavok]

Open for business but closed to making a sensible decision to bring in the BEST BBall school over the last 25 years...and we can be decent in football assuming we have an adult as HC. Like the man said in "The Toy": The propellers are spinning, but the plane isn't moving.

We now bring you back to your regularly scheduled programming of no key tweets during the off season.

-> Sun Belt Conference officials met again this week to discuss potential candidates to join the conference, with sources telling the Daily News-Record that Ohio University is among the schools expressing some interest in the league. <-

-> Ohio is second in the MAC in average football attendance over the past five years, averaging 17,423 fans per game and has led the conference in men’s basketball attendance each of the past two seasons. <-

Now we’re talking!

That's all it is, talk

MAC founder Ohio’s possible desire to get away from Tuesday-Thursday night football games and their impact on ticket sales is reasonable. However, most of the Sun Belt schools are located significantly further from Athens than Buffalo referenced by the linked article’s writer. Only exceptions: Marshall, James Madison, and App State. Sun Belt total media revenue vs MAC?

“Currently, both the Sun Belt and MAC have exclusive deals with ESPN that pay each school around $2 million a year. It remains unknown what conversations Sun Belt leaders have had with ESPN since Texas State’s departure.

But if the conference doesn’t find a member or members that will increase the Sun Belt’s value to its TV partner, it remains a distinct possibility the league sits tight for the next year or more to see what other realignment developments happen across the country.”
