We can't say a lot about what we have that the other conferences don't (besides UConn), but at least we can say that we have representatives in NYC/Newark, Philly, Orlando, Tampa, Louisville, Cincinnati, Dallas, Houston, San Diego, Memphis, Chicago, Milwaukee, Providence (no laughing!), Boise, Annapolis/Baltimore, and Washington D.C. In the day and age when advertisors are begging people not to "DVR fast-forward their stuff", live entertainment in all of those cities has to be a big asset for us...

Don't forget Hartford-New Haven. It's a decent sized market.

Exactly. People actually think all the teams will stay the same forever. C'mon now, B12 already proved things can change in a hurry. UL is nothing before they joined the BE. Now? They want to be in the B12 and too good for some BE teams. BE has helped Cincy, UL and USF grew by leaps and bounds. Do people really believe UCF, Memphis, Houston, SMU and SDSU will be crappy forever? There is something to be said about a national conference that can deliver content in 4 different time zones. There is value there.

Louisville had Johnny Unitas and 2 national championships in men's basketball before they joined the Big East. Amazing how short-sighted our fans can be. (Not referring to you.)
 
Now Deloss Dodds and other are floating ND to the Big 12........now that smells like Bevo Droppings.....

WE ARE THE SH$T!!!! Because UConn is our team. I could care less about SU, RU, SMU, ZU or PU. I care about UConn only, and it pains me to think that the upgrade and big dreams were only to get marginalized at the end of it all.
 
the purely hypothetical TV deal is great but teh reality is that it will never come to fruition because the proposal was based on schools that likely will not be in the Big East when the deal comes to roost. I speak of ND, Louisville, etc.

False. I think Memphis, San Diego State, Temple, SMU, UCF are .

And UCF beat BC by 27 last year and SMU smacked Pitt in the bowl game, so what does that make BC and Pitt? (there's always one "Devil's Advocate" hanging around)

The #BigEast is virtually dead, and the #ACC is quickly dying...at least as far as the football world is conidered.

The #ND deal apparently was a catalyst for getting #FSU aboard all along. This thing is happening fast now for the #Big12...

I'm told that #ND will jump in #Big12 very soon with Olympic sports, and then football joins after TV contract expires. #BlowsMyMind

With #FSU & #ND quite possibly to the #Big12, and their precedent setting deal with the #SEC, the #B1G won't want to sit around long either.

The agresssive #Big12 is forcing the #SEC to go for two more before Nienas grabs them. Best bets
#VT and #NCState, but subject to change.

#ND to #Big12 has more teeth today than I ever thought it could just a few weeks ago. The Irish are already going through proper channels.

Holy....$#it....

In related news, UConnDan97 has just been placed on suicide watch.

Swaim is also saying Lousiville has an invite to the Big12. HE thinks the SEC goes after NCState and VaTech. If all this is true, and I suspect that as of now it probably is, then there is nothing left. and I suspect the big10 will go after UNC and maybe rutgers.

Uconn could be left with quite the shitshow
 
Gotta love ND in all this. Always looking out for a number one. Ride the BE's dick as long as possible, and then give us the double bird on their way out the door. Then they give us line "it's been real, and it's been fun, just can't say it's been real fun".

The other of side me says, well good for them. Everyone else is out to fluck everybody else anyways.
 
Still, I will stand by what I have said on every other string in the Boneyard: I will believe Notre Dame goes to a conference when I see it. No number of tweets will convince me of that until it is signed, sealed, and delivered. The Golden Domers know that independence is what is keeping them at the height of relevance, even though they haven't had a strong team since 1994. They will not give that up lightly, even for a few more million a year (keep in mind, this is the school that gets a couple of boosters together to cut a check to get rid of the coach with about 4 weeks notice).
 
i told u guys hes great for theorys and shit. thats basically been my thing....

I have felt the same way all along. I do believe they are closer than ever.

and u guys are missing the boat on this. WE WANT ND TO THE B12. yes i siad that. why? becuas all along our best shot at a big 4 invite is a hope and prayer from the b10. well if nd passes on the b10 for the b12, then the b10 has 4 slots to fill. unc/uva/md/ruty/uconn are the targets. 1 will get left out, thats a good chance for us of getting in.

if nd went to the b10, then thats 3 spots open for the same 5 schools, less of a chance plus the fact that nd wants md for dc alum going to games. nd could potentialy bring md to the b12 with them as #16. that would leave uva/unc/ruty/uconn for the b10. HUGE NEWS if your a b10 dreamer. but again, swaim is all con thoery(something i enjoy) until it happens...

One of the few things that would make them closer than ever is coming away from the College Playoff discussions without some form of tie-in. I don't think money is going to be an issue for them; not due to some moral stance but rather an understanding that joining a conference that you don't win makes you "just another team", whereas going 8-4 every year but being on national tv every game keeps you in the spotlight. Again, I'll believe it when I see it.

You need to start quoting your own Tweets then so you can get some props for all the crazy swaps/conferences/random $**t you always have! I mean that in the nicest way possible! :)

You deserve one.
 
so, if Clemson, FSU, Louisville and ND all goto the Big12. And VaTech and NC State go to the SEC...what's left? I am going to assume that the basketball schools break off from the Big East. That leaves Big East: (Uconn, Rutgers, Cincy, USF, Temple, UCF, SMU, Houston, SDSU, Boise) and ACC: (Maryland, BC, Syracuse, Pitt, UNC, Duke, GTech, UVa, Miami and Wake). Of course the SEC and Big10 could easily poach GTech, Rutgers, UNC, Pitt, UVa, Syracuse or Uconn) but let's just say they won't for now. Will the ACC then invite UConn and Rutgers? I can't see them inviting anyone else academically. That get's them to 12 teams and a championship game, blah blah blah. the basketball would be great of course. and Uconn would fit in football-wise. Its not the best case, but its not a total disaster and still better in terms of traditional rivalries than the garbage NBE
