Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4711020, member: 37"] Are they asleep or is it possible that if they add schools FSU and others can get out of the GOR? Even with the optimistic 10 million you propose it won’t satisfy FSU if they can get more from another conference. The ACC is stronger but pieces in the realignment puzzle are moving and reshaping the college sports landscape. The ACC GOR, an asset up until this point, is making that conference vulnerable in the future because they can’t take steps to solidify their position. And their more valuable properties are currently more coveted than any in the B12. Hence the belief they are more vulnerable to a major break up. Things could change. Eight years is a long time. If the B12 does well in sports, attracts viewers and gets a substantial increase in revenues they can leap over the ACC in 2031. Or ironically that can create a situation where their best properties become more valuable to the SEC or BIG than those in the ACC. All I care about now is to get into the power club. I agree with Fishy. It is not just the need to get more money. The next step will be a seismic shift among the college sports world. It will happen without warning and much sooner than many people expect imo. I’d take either the ACC or the BIG if they made an offer over the B12. But that’s not happening in the foreseeable future. So let’s hope we get into the B12, the conference exceeds expectations, we keep the value of our bb properties, make our football program coveted, demonstrate that under the proper conditions the northeast market supports our sports in a manner similar to other regions and UConn can choose its own destiny rather than be at the mercy of others.
