Need to get into P4 conference

But can they screw up things worse than the NCAA and the P2?

Yes. And tax you for them screwing it up and the giant bureaucracy created to screw it up even worse. Its the American way!
 
It all goes back to conference, or lack thereof in football. If we’re truly committed to football, we have to figure it out. Right now we’re a basketball school that’s attempting to play football, but we’re too nervous to leave the Big East. Dave Benedict has proven he’s the real deal. We need to turn him loose and get in the right conference.

Football (in a conference) is the biggest revenue driver at most schools. Can we do it? Yes we can, we’re Husky Nation!!

You're new here so it seems that you don't understand the dynamics of conference realignment. UConn is not too nervous to leave the Big East. We need to get an invitation from another conference in order to join. If UConn were to get an invitation from a P4 Conference, we would leave the Big East in a heartbeat!

UConn is too nervous to leave the Big East but they've been fighting like absolute hell to get into a P4 every single massive wave of realignment for the last decade and a half?
 
This is a really interesting video about the Bills' new stadium in Buffalo. Not that UConn is getting a new stadium any time soon but seeing the engineering that goes into a new state of the art $2billion stadium is cool

The American conference is our best chance at this point. It puts us in a position to get the G5 autobid into the CFP. No reason Husky Nation couldn’t dominate the G5. The key is getting into the CFP. Basketball will be fine in the American

How about if BC joins the American and UConn takes their place in the ACC. Maybe I shouldn't assume the American would want BC...

If the CFP selections tell us anything, it tells us that it’s run by the P4. What happened in the CFP, with a 3 loss Alabama, that got dominated yesterday and barely beat a 5-7 team in their previous game, is a foreshadowing of college basketball in the near future. The big boys will run everything and the Big East, like independent ND, in football, will get only what the big boys are forced to give them

No, only if it’s FB only like Army & Navy have. And Im guessing the only way Uconn gets that invite is if Castle consistently positions them among the top few G5 programs. And that still might not be enough because I’m not sure Memphis, Tulane & USF would want us in.

If it’s not FB only, it’s got to be P4.

Nah, we just need to be patient and wait. Things will start moving in 2030. Maybe sooner if conferences want to try to make preliminary moves anticipating what might be advantageous, but I doubt it.

UConn hired the right football coach. We'll be good enough next year and hopefully much better there after.

Both basketball teams will continue to win.

There real question is will we be in a good power 4 or the remnants of what used to be the ACC. That's really what we're most likely looking at

As much as I hear about the bigger guys creating their own football league, the more I doubt it will happen. That's going to need compliance and I think they are happier controlling the weak NCAA than trying to create a fair league.

I think there'll be moves before 2030 because it will give the conferences more leverage in their media negotiations a year or two before contracts expire.

It's possible, but more than likely, conferences will wait and see what the new basketball contract will be. If it's as big as many think, the current contract is undervalued by over a billion, so if the contract is $2 billion, some bigger conference may view UConn differently. That's a lot trailing units on both the men's and womens programs when they win.

What basketball contract are you talking about? If you're referring to the March Madness contract, it ends in 2032.

Conferences won’t move unless they have feedback from the media partners.
Nobody will add a school assuming it’s a bigger payout.
I do agree that things won’t go until the expiration. That was what killed the PAC.

Yes correct, my mistake. I always get that confused with the reduced ACC GOR fee that happens in 2030.

No worries. I think the March Madness contract was extended to "only" 2030 because it lined it up to when the individual P4 media contracts are due to expire. It makes it tidy, eh?!... I think the Big10 and maybe the SEC will bring in new schools a couple years before 2030 at reduced (40-60%) annual payouts. It'll become more tenable for the top ACC schools to leave due to reduced buyout amount in the 2028 time frame. It all lines up. Maybe we are brought in to backfill the ACC departures in that time frame?

The way they grabbed Cal, Stanford and SMU over us, it wouldn't surprise me if they did the same.

The ACC GOR expires in 2036. It drops to 75 million in 2030. I think that's what you're thinking of.

Yup. That drop might facilitate the ACC's demise. We know FSU will pay the reduced fee. The question is does the B1G care. The Big 12 would certainly want them, but it seems as though FSU wants a seat at either of the big two conferences table
