Not sure if it still applies. Stanford and Cal came in pro-rata. SMU came in receiving no media revenues but I'm not sure what the conference receives for them being in the conference.

Were less than a year removed from knowing if there media deal expires in two years or twelve. I don't know what sense it makes changing composition with that significant of a variable.

I don't think that is true. SMU i think forfeited their share to give the existing schools more revenue. In effect they paid their way in.

I know SMU voluntarily forfeited their share, what I don't know is if what the ACC is receiving for the addition of SMU was equal to what the conference received for the other additions (Stanford and Cal)

Oh I see. I thought they had pro rata for any additions written into their contract.

It's time for UConn to renew efforts to get into ACC. Don't wait.

Yes, but the A¢¢ didn't hate Loserville, they do however utterly detest us. A decade ago they would've been out salvation, but now the A¢¢ door is closed to us, and the way is shut.

Louisville had such a poor academic reputation at least a third of the ACC didn't want them at first, if not more.

Rick Pitino endorses Coach K’s merger proposal to create ‘mega basketball conference’

Rick Pitino supports Mike Krzyzewski’s solution for the Big East and ACC.

For the record, I don’t believe it.

I hope Brett Yormark reads the New York Post.

Susan Herbst and the rock star, Warde Manuel, totally messed up a dozen years ago and failed to adequately lobby the ACC members with a persuasive case. The Boneyard members did a far better job than the two of them.

The football powers threatened to leave if UConn was picked over Louisville and the Tobacco Road schools buckled under the pressure. Our president and AD had no idea what they were doing, and we lost out.

No.

Clemson and FSU panicked.

Miami hates us.

Louisville lucked out.

Unless ESPN communicates a desired target that would cause them to exercise their option....

 

[jostar1]

Don't they have pro rata clause in their TV contract?

Screw the ACC. Big XII please.

There are a lot of reasons you may want to rethink this. But if UConn doesn't have the option, B12 is still better than where we are now.

What is "I don't like the color of this lifeboat! Send a different one."?

I'll take phrases never heard on a sinking ship for $200 please.
