NH Register: No decision until Dec. 1

If the Big East is so weak why do conferences keep taking teams from it?

If the Big East is so strong, why do teams keep leaving?

I don't believe anybody is leaving the Pac 12, Big 10, or SEC. Everyone else is up for grabs.

It just goes to show you that at one point, one of the comissioners was sitting on an absolute gold mine and did nothing about it...

Agree 100% .... Uconn was said to be THE school.... Louisville wasn't even thought of period. The longer this takes the more likely Uconn will be watching from a distance. Contrary to what has been previously said and our own biased opinion of UConn I don't think the ACC has a strong interest in our program. We can blame BCU all we want but Uconn was over looked in the Cuse Pitt round, then ignored when begging to get a seat after, only to have the ACC roll out the red carpet for ND's leaching program and now they take a left hook to the face and are feeling things out? I think the answer is right in front of us.... The interest just isn't there.... With an unproven bball coach, sanctions, garbage football hire and results Uconn isn't a sexy choice. Perception is reality... The longer this takes the less in Uconn's favor. We see WVU fans pushing for ville to the big 12 then you see fsu and Clemson fans openingly pushing for ville to acc. Who's seeing a heavy push for Uconn outside of ct?

Maybe this has been addressed but that history is WRONG. UConn was the first choice with with Pitt but Flipper and BC made them go back and look at Cuse. The interest was and is there. Forte... we just don't know what's being said behind closed doors right this minute, just because you don't hear Herbst doing a press conference to publicly #BegHarder doesn't mean these people aren't doing their jobs. And I think all the reactions that you are reacting to are just FANS not the people running the show.

for the same reason dogs licks their *****, because they can.

So if the ACC is stabilizing, are we back to a 12/1 decision?

That's what happens when you have no vision, and you just want to go ahead with the same old....

If I'm the ACC, I take UConn, Louisville and Cincy and declare victory. They can't go wrong. They'll have 16 all sports schools, they get the best basketball and football that the current Big East can offer.

This.

I have, for the most part, kept my mouth shut about realignment over the last three days. It's mainly due to the fact that I am still reading to catch up on the Boneyard, which has hit a pace of 3 new threads per minute. It seems clear to me that the additions of those three teams would improve the ACC in virtually all sports, and it would open up even more markets and recruiting bases. It would likely be worth a few million more per team per year in a re-structured contract. I would guess that the addition of those three teams might even be able to get the ACC to 20 million per team, assuming that ESPN played along. And they should, because it would be in their best interest to do so.

UConn, Louisville, and Cincy is the correct answer. Of course, when has the correct answer ever stopped anyone from doing something else...

Does the 5 star word begin with an "A" or a "C"? Because one is totally gross, the other I can agree with.

The five star word is dicks.

Edit- welp, maybe not.
