Non-Key Tweets

[Stinger92860]

I can't imagine how dreadful 'Non Key Tweets' will become in a year or so let alone the next 10 years. I was thinking more along the lines of the Big12 expanding within the next couple years.

does Uconn football even exist in 2025 if they never make it out of the AAC? asked differently, how long does Uconn commit to a P5 AD without the P5 conference?

5 years? At some point the exit money runs out.

5 years? At some point the exit money runs out.

I still believe the best opportunity for us comes from ACC & B12 schools starting to get anxious in the next few years and looking to make moves.

The SEC, with their network, is already pushing $40MM/yr per school & the B1G will be there by 2017 when their new network deal kicks in. That leaves the ACC & B12 schools making half of what they are making. Over a 5 yr period the SEC & B1G schools will make $100MM more than their "peers" in the ACC & B12. That is a massive amount of money & will push those ACC & B12 schools that do have suitors to start to sniff around for a better deal.

Once the ACC & B12 schools see they will quickly fall behind in the arms race, IMO all hell will break loose. While the best solution for us is a B1G invite because that's where the most money will be, even a restructured ACC that has some of our old rivals in it will be better than where we are.

Did WVU AD Lyons let the cat out of the bag that the Big 12 was thinking expansion? I think he did. The question is who? I know.. Do you?

Just remember who told you the Big 12 was the Hunter & not the hunted.

Chill your jets folks... nothing on deck anytime soon.... just wanted you to be aware....

 

[SAMCRO]

I can't keep up... Dood said B12 won't expand, said B12 will expend, said B12 happy at 10 and not looking, and said B12 is the hunter not the hunted.... Do I have that straight?

The only part of that I believe is "nothing on deck anytime soon"

That way he can always point to a comment that's right. I believe that's called "nelsonmuntzing".

 

[CL82]

If only we knew the Dood's source...

 

[Sea Goat]

The only part of that I believe is "nothing on deck anytime soon"

yes - and also that he is not playing with a full deck anytime soon or ever.

The Dude - "The Big 12 is not expanding."

WV AD - "I'm in favor of expanding."

The Dude - "The Big 12 is expanding."

WV AD - "Has to be the right partner..."

The Dude - "I know who it is!! But I won't say."

WV AD - "We play a true round robin."

The Dude - "Chill out, everyone. I need to play this angle, too."

He is certifiable.

People, the Dude is working a classic bootstrap paradox. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bootstrap_paradox

If he is successful, this is some scary . We might be joining the Big 12 as founding member and also voting not to let ourselves in.

@URClassless I would love to see BYU in the B12. I once thought it would happen. Not now due to need to go east.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 17h17 hours ago
@SeanboSengo My opinion is that if the ACCN isn’t up & running by 2017 that both FSU & CU are members of the Big 12.

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @SeanboSengo That’s why ESPN must pull the trigger & quickly.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 1h1 hour ago
@Expansion_Crush @SeanboSengo ESPN will save the ACC from losing FSU. They must.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 50m50 minutes ago
@geoffmitchell @Expansion_Crush @SeanboSengo If ESPN green lights ACCN-& they must-movement is done.

 

[Fishy]

Two things that have zero chance of happening in 2017:

1) An ACC Network.

2) Florida State and Clemson moving to the Big 12.

Just wait until SECN has full year

MIzzouri-Nebraska-Texas A&M all better off for leaving the Big 12. Oklahoma is watching.
SEC=$455 mil (14 schools)
B12=$250+mil (10 schools)

Yep

Some people are finally catching on...finally. Bundling live content (3rd tier) and selling it as you market and brand your Conf is the way.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
B12 writers and bloggers are finally catching on to the monster of the SECN. And how LHN does nothing for the B12 but eventually weaken

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
Finally the numbers are showing what I've been telling you all...the dudes words can't explain this away anymore, B12 and ACC need network

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
You all don't think Oklahoma is not looking at the off ramps 7-8-9 years from now? Look at the SECN numbers in exposure and money. Look.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 2h2 hours ago
These Conf Net are only growing in power to set leverage for its schools during negotiations. Branding its Conf in most concentrated form.

Means UConn isn't going anywhere in the short term.

As far as the other AAC presidents are aware.

Weren't BC & Pitt chairs of the Big East when they moved on?

Seems hinky to me that BYU would be football only. Their basketball team is usually pretty good.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that BYU can't play on Sunday due to religious reasons. Seems like that would be a pretty big issue scheduling wise for all other sports
