Yea but if Kate Upton names you as one of the 6 guys she is thinking of having sex with your chances are a whole lot higher

You are a genius. Unlike someone else here.
 
Can we all make a pact to never, ever reference MHver3 again -- ever?

If or when we get an invite from the ACC or the Big Ten, I'm pretty sure that Jim Delany's or John Swofford's first response will not be to call some clown in the woods of West Virginia who previously described himself as "floating in a tin can."

If it is going to happen, it will happen, and he (or she?) will play no role whatsoever.

I have a theory on MHver3. I think he has established relationships with a few other "insiders" and is simply a conduit for regurgitating their rumors because they either don't want to or can't. He referenced a FSU Rivals Insider, MMM, in a tweet once, and I think he also did it in a post, and it was kind of a teasing reference, like they knew each other. I suspect MMM is his source for ACC information.

It would also explain why MHver3 sometimes posts or tweets contradictory rumors. He is just a conduit for most if it, he doesn't have the sources himself. Just a theory.

Since we are quoting people who don't have any inside knowledge about realignment but do have a keyboard, The Dude of WV says Cuse and BCU have begn talks with the B1G and the four schools closest to moving are Cuse, BCU, GT and UVA.

Why not? Boost those RT numbers.

MHver3 ‏@MHver3
BiG hasn't decided who to invite yet. Has 6 schools they are pursuing for 2 spots. 4 ACC. 1 BigEast. And another...


Personally, I think the Big 10 would go to 18 if the financials supported it. There is no magic number.
Expand ...
The way this has been going, it's either USF, ECU or Tulane from the Big East...
Just my guess.

Fans in Boston don't matter. It's about getting the Big10 package on cable and about allowing all those alumni who live in Boston from all the other schools a chance to go to games. BC wouldn't be just about BC. I also imagine that maybe enticing Notre Dame with BC plays a role. SU just makes sense for the B1G. I would hope they would want to fill it out with UConn but I just don't see it happening.
Expand ...
And the stadium in Chestnut Hill holds how many people? With how much ability to expand?
That's a logistical nightmare already. Can't see how they appease the neighbors and handle a Big10 schedule.

UVA, UNC, Syracuse, BCU, UConn and Notre Dame.

I don't think GTech is anything more than a candidate for the Big 10. Not clear that Georgia cable providers would pick up Big 10 network even with GTech.

Notre Dame will not join a league unless there is more dramatic upheaval.

BCU has no shot but they are in Boston so they are on the list.

0-4 of the other 4 will get an invite.
Expand ...

GTech, Cuse, and BCU are nothing more than due diligence inspections. At first glance, nothing recommends either, but better make doubly sure there's nothing important being overlooked. Of course if this were Swofford deal all bets would be off. Thank God Herbst and Manuel vacationed in the Carribean while Jurich, unfortunately for Louisville, made a brilliant presentation in Charlotte.

I'm in Madison, CT, and I see a Big Ten Network station available. I don't get it, tho, as part of the package I bought into. But it seems to b5 available.

Is SNY part of your basic package or do you have to subscribe to it? It probably wasn't before UConn became an exclusive.

It would be about getting the BTN on your basic package. That would mean the BTN would be getting $ no matter what. That's the play and why CT probably has value. It's the only reason to middle of the road football schools like UMD and Rutgers were added to the Big 10. Big alumni base in giant markets with virtually no competition.

And the BTN is already on FioS in Boston, free of charge. Don't know if it is on Comcast.

I'm about 30 minutes outside of Boston, and the BTN is included in my Comcast package. SNY is too, FWIW.

Is it on your regular digital cable package or do you have to pay extra? We get it too in the city, but have to pay for it as part of a special sports package that also includes a boat load of other regional sports networks from around the country. If they're able to get it on the basic cable or basic digital packages in certain places, BTN is able to get higher subscriber fees for it than if it's part of a separate more obscure package.

When UConn inked the SNY deal, there was a scramble to get it on all cable systems in CT,especially in eastern and northern CT. That took a month or two as I recall.

I'm hoping that @melogroovy is conduit for Susan Herbst:

@melogroovy: Depending on suit: Syracuse and UConn or BC will get next round of B1G invites.

I'm 20-30 minutes outside of the city and have fios, BTN is included in my package as an HD channel.

Up in Worcester we can subscribe to the BTN network. Lot's of Uconn fans in MA and RI as well.
Not just CT. Probably add a 30 mile ring north, east of CT as well.

As a side note, was in a Sturbridge restaurant a couple weeks back... Interesting that is particualr place sold Uconn and Pat's gear. No BC or Umass but Uconn.

I can pick up UConn gear here in Eastern PA from time to time at Dick's or Sports Authority. Definitely no UMass or BC stuff though hehehe... It might be because we've recruited a fair amount from here in football... but more likely because we're a national brand in basketball.

So bluntly put, UConn has no competition in New England? Excellent. Someone forward this info to Delany.

In NNJ on Verizon Fios, I have SNY (UConn) and the BTN. Outside of football games as part of Big E programming, I rarely see Rutgers. Do wish I had CBS Sports so I could have shared a whole host of new words for my 6 year old to learn when UConn Soccer lost in the quarterfinals again, $%!$. UConn does get in the NY news, such as when the hoops team beat Mich St in Germany.
Lived N of Boston a few years back in NH and had Comcast. No BTN and no SNY (over Boston’s dead body would that offered); but, a handful of stations carried ACC sports with no specific focus on BC. The only BC event that gets a lot of press in Boston news is the Beanpot. That’s it. BC football sucks and is overmatched by the Pats, the end of Sox’s season, and the start of the Celtics’ and Bruins’ season. BC basketball often is noted after UConn hoops.

The B1G 10 network is available in NY but there is an additional fee of $5.95/month. The only reason I purchased it was to watch the Minny/Cuse game.. I'd imagine the same thing can be said for Uconn...Especially during Bball season. i can see many finds buying the B1G 10 network to watch Uconn or Cuse bball games

The only time I have sympathy for BC is when dealing with the neighbors of Newton. For years, the locals complained about the students taking over the neighborhood, traffic, parties, etc. So, BC buys the old Catholic diocese chancellery across the street and then announces a major initiative to build new residences (and athletic facilities) there to take the pressure of the local rental market. Of course the neighbors than complain about BC expanding, taking away their walking paths and dog walks (it wasn’t public land to begin with), traffic, etc. It will be a bit@h for BC to try to expand it’s facilities to meet BIG competition.
By the way, the Rent is not the best because it’s no where near campus; but, at least they have tailgating. Unless you know someone at BC or have big $$ and get a parking space in the adjacent garage to Alumni stadium, there is no tailgating at BC. They shuttle bus people in from Brighton (5 miles) and Dedham (15 miles). Ho can one have BIG football without tailgating?
