First in with a "Why aren't there any Fortune 500 companies in CT willing to support UConn like that" comment.

Ed Scott, the Memphis AD, said yesterday that they expect to come close to the 20.5 million in revenue share money.

Someone posted last year that it's because those CEO's graduated from Ivy League schools.

But it's more than that. The founder of FedEx went to Yale. We just don't have the same state pride in the Northeast as other regions. The millionaire/billionaire Connecticut residents that went to Ivy League (or other non-sports focused schools) should support UConn athletics as a state pride / professional-like option. But they don't.

It's not just UConn. Rutgers and UMass aren't pulling from the millionaire/billionaire NJ/Mass residents. Rutgers doesn't even get big donations from its billionaire alums. Home Depot founder Bernard Marcus gives nothing to Rutgers.

The independent noose is tightening…



-> SEC teams are required to schedule at least one additional high quality non-conference from the Atlantic Coast, Big Ten or Big 12 conferences or Notre Dame each season. The SEC will continue to evaluate its policies to ensure the continued scheduling of high-quality non-conference opponents. <-

The ACC will have to add one football member to get to 9 games.

 

[UConnJim]

The ACC will have to add one football member to get to 9 games.

True, but I would think the ACC would take the Memphis offer that they made to the Big 12. That said, I don't think the ACC is adding anyone until after 2030/2031 when the exit fee declines.

Well, the more important question is, would he be willing to give something to us?

17 teams each playing 9 times is 17x9=153. Each game has two teams so 153÷2=76.5 games. Can't play a 1/2 game.

Apparently one of the solutions floating around is 12 teams play 9 games, and the other 5 get to count their ND game for ACC standing purposes.

That would be unfair to those teams as ND is a more difficult opponent than the ACC average.

And you also have 4 set annual games with the ACC/SEC.....FSU-Florida, Clemson-South Carolina, Louisville-Kentucky, GT-Georgia plus other scheduled SEC matches post 2025..will they cancel ?

2026-2030:

2026, FSU-Bama, 2027-28..FSU-Georgia,

Between 2026 and 2030..Miami has Florida, H&H's with South Carolina, Auburn

Louisville has H&H's with Georgia, Texas A&M

SMU has Oklahoma and H&H's with LSU

Syracuse, BC, Pitt, VT, Virginia, Cal, Stanford, Wake, Duke, NC State, UNC aren't playing the SEC through 2030

Each year one team gets to play a 10th conference game against bcu. consider it a bonus W while the loss doesn't count against bcu. It really doesn't matter in the grand scheme when you have so many teams in a conference and the schedules are unbalanced.

Lets be real, it's a stupid thing to spend money on.

I don't necessarily disagree. I think they whole system is ridiculous. But, in other states, they don't think it's stupid. I guess if I had billions I'd consider buying players for the school each year.

I am now seeing an emergence of a Big Two more than a reconstituted NFL like college football scene.

The SEC is allowing its members to use any P4 school to meet the requirement to play one "power" (ACC, B1G, Big 12) OOC game in addition to the 9 SEC conf games. This takes care of the four SEC schools with in state ACC rivalries.

The P2 has the real power, but the P4 remains a thing.

The SEC is acting like they will work with the B1G, but that the SEC intends to stay a separate conference and will not go into a blender with the B1G to create an NFL type structure. Well, that's how it looks to me this week. It can change.

Is this a ‘Key Tweet’ or ‘Non-Key Tweet’.

SCar also plays VT in 2025. .This Sunday as a matter of fact. I’m addition to Clempsun, we frequently play other Southern based SEC teams

Seems unlikely but really hoping you keep the road game @ App in 2033. Know that’s been rescheduled a few times but would be awesome to see the Cocks in Boone.
