Really? I thought that was Buffalo Lion. OK

I don't believe the Dud of WV anyway, but UB. Sorry. There would be a better chance of Boston U being invited and starting football again that U of Buffalo. More people in Boston than Buffalo.

Are you sure the UB wasn't BU? :) That would be more interesting for UConn. Lets run with that for a little bit.

Hear ye Hear ye,

B1G in talks with Boston U to join based upon creating a FBS football program. This coupled with the addition of UConn will complete the corridor from Boston to DC.

There, it is on the internet. It is now true.

Could be, but last I checked Boston was not spelled B-U-F-F-A-L-O.
 
UB should start a hockey team. Extreme myopia for them not to have one. There are 4 state-of-the-art ice rinks being built downtown right now, and 2 of them have enough seating for D1. The Sabres owner has already offered up the rinks for college games to UB, and the AD (ACC guy) said no. Canisius now has dibs.

This is a huge generational error.

I can't emphasize enough how rabidly hockey crazy this town is, how the Sabres sell out a big arena charging $70 a ticket for 40 games plus preseason and sometimes postseason. Ontario is 5 minutes from my house (by bicycle!).
 
BU has an urban campus with no room for a stadium or even for training facilities. They'd have to use Gillette which is 50 miles away for football, and who knows what for basketball. I can't imagine they want to undertake all that is involved in building a B1G-level athletic department. It would consume most of their $1 bn endowment.

Couldn't they use BC's stadium? BC could be like the opening act and then BU could play the real game. :D

Just think of an 11:00AM game between Wake and BC. Than a 6:00PM between BU and Michigan.

just kidding of course

BU put the lie to the idea that you needed bigtime sports to establish an academic reputation. They killed football, plowed money into academics, ramped up research, shot up in all the college rankings, then joined the AAU. They are not going to go backward.

That being said, the footprint for Nickerson Field and the old Braves Stadium is still there. The Patriots played there, the Boston Braves played there, so a stadium similar to Cincy's is possible. I sat there once with 50,000 other people.

The main event would be rodeo, not football.

The boosters and alumni met in France. That's where it all came down. They did vote later on. And yes the President and the AD were on board with the move to the B1G.

Are you saying they weren't?

It was London.

Yes, that is what I am saying.

Hate to break this to you Terry but that article does not contradict what I wrote.

Mallouy is about the only contradictory note, but I guarantee you this: he was on board.

They hashed it out well before the board vote when the revolt started and they met at a chalet in France. At the time, my close friend was a top ND administrator who is now Ass't Provost at another school. Malloy was on board no matter what that article says.

But, in this thread, ND is getting blamed for:

1) Trying to keep the conference together, and

2) Not trying to keep the conference together

...at the same time?

Question:

I have never seen any real answers to those questions anywhere.

My question is why did ND head coach get off scott-free for sending a poor kid to his death?

I'm taking questions from #Bearcat fans right now for AD Whit Babcock tomorrow night.

The Waterboyz‏@shrump19762h
@theDudeofWV definitely would like to know if any discussion between the big 12 and Cincinnati about future expansion

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV2h
@shrump1976 I cannot ask that... but I know the answer. Not yet.

Albert Ruscitto‏@CincyP5orbust1h
@theDudeofWV Ask him to comment on rumored meeting between several MWC and AAC schools instigated by possible Cincy to B12 move.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV1h
@CincyP5orbust He won’t touch that. But I will try. Send me the info.

I'm betting that Whit suddenly has a conflict and cancels....
 
I can predict this conversation:

Q: Can you tell me about your protected-under-non-disclosure-agreement conversations with the B12?
A: No comment.
Q: Can you tell me about your protected-under-non-disclosure-agreement conversations with the ACC?
A: No comment.
Q: Can you tell me about your protected-under-non-disclosure-agreement conversations with Cincinnati trustees about realignment?
A: No comment.
Q: Can you tell me about your protected-under-non-disclosure-agreement conversations with other AAC and MWC schools?
A: No comment.
Q: Can you tell me about where you stand on realignment?
A: We are working hard to make the University of Cincinnati as successful as possible.
 
What's the point of Dude taking questions from fans when it's obvious the AD isn't going to spill the beans on anything more important than them putting a new coat of paint on the locker room?

Aside from my love for mama Garrison's baby boy, big things are brewing in B12 land. No clue what's up yet but big web meeting called

MH3‏@MH38h
I use the term emergency with utmost restraint but that's what my contacts are saying

MH3‏@MH38h
Expansion related most likely. Will have more when I hear it.

Kinda curious Jo...it just so happens every MH3 tweet just so happens right before you post it here. Could it be you are actually....? :cool:
 
MH3‏@MH31h
Craziness afoot. One school in B12 VERY upset at networks and certain conference mates due to recent pressure to expand.

MH3‏@MH31h
This school feels no current targets warrant expanding. They feel it will water down the B12 needlessly and cost us big in the future

MH3‏@MH31h
Recent push by networks to expand to 16 with 3 in the west and 3 in the east were embraced by most in the B12 but not all.

MH3‏@MH31h
This school feels that the B12 is selling itself short by not going after bigger fish and shouldn't settle for "leftovers"

MH3‏@MH3
The statement was made that a GOR is a paper tiger as long as you're not going to a competing network.

MH3‏@MH31h
Mind boggling is the fact that its this very same school that cost the B12 FSU and CU

MH3‏@MH31h
From what I'm told the whole thing was weird and came out of left field. There wasn't even a huge interest in adding 6,some schools were(1)

MH3‏@MH31h
Simply wanting to do some research on the scheduling possibilities and revenue increases. Nothing concrete

MH3‏@MH31h
the networks were proposing to increase the contract amount by 30% and get these "lesser" schools to join at half the rate(1)

MH3‏@MH31h
Which would've been a huge financial boon to the " lesser" schools at 1/4. 1/2 would be like pacman making it rain

MH3‏@MH31h
Bowl money split would kill the shares on that though. Even if they could add 4-5 more bowls it kills the playoff/sugar split

MH3‏@MH31h
The schools floated by the networks were BYU, UNLV, SDSU, Cincy, USF, and UCF

MH3‏@MH31h
Memphis was also bandied about recently in place of Cincy. Networks wanted 2 in Florida though.

MH3‏@MH31h
Last thing tonight: Crazy Rumor of the night! PSU didn't get booted from B10 for their crimes against humanity but might another school(1)
 
It took that last tweet to figure it put...MH3 is that guy Tickle from Moonshiners and now his own show! From that last group of tweets it seems as though he is 3/4's of the way through a batch of shine!
 
Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV41m
@knightbengal @Manny_Insanity @ExpansionRumors Cincy, BYU, USF & UCF are all still in play. Update soon.

Larry Walker‏@Manny_Insanity42m
@theDudeofWV @knightbengal @ExpansionRumors together (expansion to 14) or fighting for two spots?

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV34m
@Manny_Insanity @knightbengal @ExpansionRumors That’s a mystery right now: 12 or 14.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV32m
@MurrDCU @NebGradDubDub @ExpansionRumors @knightbengal @Manny_Insanity B12 has yet to decide to expand. That’s the caveat.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV39m
I had intended to provide an update today. But I was up until 3 am last night trying to track down my B1G friend. He disappeared.

Christopher Lambert‏@theDudeofWV34m
My B1G friend has completely disappeared.

Seinfeld fans will get this...

"Maybe the Dingo ate your B1G friend".
 
at 3am, his "B1G Friend" was probably sleeping. Never realized how silly this guy's tweets sound.
 
"my B1G friend has completely disappeared" is West Virginia hillbilly twitter code for "I'm all out of moonshine and I need more"!

I think it is hillbilly for "I have erectile disfunction."

Sigh of relief. Just reestablished contact with B1G source.
