That's what Swofford thought ..... how's that working out for him???

Actually, not bad.

He took a conference that was in a death battle and secured the future for a decade and a half....secured a place in the P5, secured all kinds of exposure on ESPN platforms, and has had national championships in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse in the last several seasons.

Now...going north was a mistake, I'll grant you.

Going north was definitely not a mistake ... if it had resulted in the desired results ...

Poster A says a topic about BCU is more relevant than the topic that was at hand.

Poster B says Swofford thought BCU was relevant too and insinuates that he- meaning Swofford- was wrong.

BillyBob or whoever you are, in an attempt at counter-pointing a poster saying things haven't worked out well for Swofford in respect to his decision to take BCU, says things have worked out well for Swofford and highlights all the accomplishments of the ACC since BCU joined. Then, in his very next sentence, tells us "going north" was a mistake, even though he just ran down a list of things the league has accomplished since "going north."

Do you now see why we think you're delusional?

He's referring to the fact that the ACC thought it invited Boston University instead of Boston College.

Big Ten is not expanding anytime soon because schools they would expand with are tied to a GOR....not available at this time. Period.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
Big Ten is very very interested in OU/KU if B12 implodes (half of B12 leaves Conf same time) and interested in VA/VATECH when GOR ends..

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
But none of those scenarios are in play now.... GOR's are real. ACC GOR is real...not tied to ACCN creation.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
Boren is honestly trying to save the B12 There is your story. All other stuff is pure fantasy. No..FSU/Clemson not going to B12

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
To save B12 Boren is trying to "thread the needle" UC/UCONN...increase footprint...create B12N with value. Get FOX/ESPN on board.

Why would the B1G threaten a lawsuit against anyone spewing fiction on Twitter? Think about that....
 
"Why would the B1G threaten a lawsuit against anyone spewing fiction on Twitter?" Um, pretty sure that happens often enough to have a specific term attached to it--libel. I'm sure it's true that OU and B1G have at least talked a little bit, but that last comment by Dude of WV made me laugh

No. Posting internet rumors about realignment - even if totally made up -- would not give someone a cause for action for libel. No real lawyer wrote MHV a letter telling him he couldn't write his silly crap.

I have a friend who sent multiple FOIA's to B10 offices and UNC and UVA.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 4h4 hours ago
@MH ver3 you FOIA'd a private entity? Is that what you're saying here?

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Source: Contrary to recent myth and legend, UCONN would not be #11 or #12 in B12 expansion. Geography being the only, but major, factor.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Look for the B12 to expand by 2 with announcement pre-June. The two additions would join for 2017 season. B12 to help some w exit fees.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Step 2 is to establish B12 net by 2017 via ESPN. Step 3 is championship game by 2017 season.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
These three things must happen before planB can commence. But the two additions will be added in a way that doesn't sting if B falls through

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Im told the following. Cincy is #11. Memphis is most likely #12.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Plan B happens with the death of ACC network Pipe dream. FSU, Clemson, Miami, BYU would be 13-16.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
BYU is likely a better candidate at 11/12 but they know they can get them later.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
#11 and #12 will be added to satisfy first 3 immediate needs while striking a blow to ACC expansion possibilities.

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa BYU over say Louisville, Pitt or GT?

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
@geoffmitchell because everyone is rushing to watch Pitt and GT on TV??

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa network would value cable homes of Georgia and Penn. BYU quality product but administrative headache

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell Tech would be target of B10..albeit Rutgers 2.0. Pitt? Good luck

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 1h1 hour ago
@PromiscuousJawa I want Pitt as much as I want herpes. But B10 research dollars have some weird continuous state clause.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell yes. Which is why they would add UVA, DUKE, UNC to get there.

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 1h1 hour ago
@PromiscuousJawa I'm so dumb I forgot NC touched GA!

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell the SEC would fight for UNC. The belief is that UNC-Duke are a pair and wouldn't split. SEC wouldn't have room at 16.

Martin borg ‏@Martyaborg 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa I do have a hard time understanding why ESPN would give the big 12 their network only to allow it to destroy the ACC?

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@Martyaborg part of back door dealin in the B10 Negotiations? Not hard to fathom at all.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@Martyaborg I guess I better be quiet there before I'm "threatened into silence"

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
ND has the power to stop the entire thing and derail it all. If they want to give up 1 legacy rivalry to get the ACC to 16 without pods.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
Without ND there is no ACC network

Martin borg ‏@Martyaborg 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa sorry just saw you answer on BYU

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@Martyaborg realize BYU could be knocked out by ND or UofL. It isn't set in stone

Mostly 'lsi M ‏@ki676love 1h1 hour ago
@PromiscuousJawa @Martyaborg tell those whoever "told" you to stop smoking crack. No way anyone leaves a stronger ACC for an unstable B12.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@ki676love @Martyaborg would they leave for a stronger B10/SEC? Yes. ACC would crumble.

Mostly 'lsi M ‏@ki676love 58m58 minutes ago
@PromiscuousJawa @Martyaborg Memphis isn't good enough in football or academics for B1G10. Football isn't good enough for SEC either

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 56m56 minutes ago
@ki676love @Martyaborg you obviously cannot read

Mostly 'lsi M ‏@ki676love 29m29 minutes ago
@PromiscuousJawa @Martyaborg yeah mixed them up. Louisville needs a partner or divisions will be uneven in SEC or B1G10 & don't add much


ME: Looks like Utini is trying to fill MH ver3's shoes. :P :D
 
That's the guy who blocks everyone who asks him questions, right?

The idea that adding Cincinnati and Memphis to the Big 12 gets them a network is... well, it's perfectly at home in this thread.

No. He was making the point that the Big Ten had no reason to pay attention to the request since it is not public.

If we have to read this anonymous, unsourced and made up crap, can we at least only post non-key tweets that say good things about us and cheer us up? What's the point of posting silly made up crap that just denigrates UConn.

Remember that was an earlier rumor. Having the metrics professionally evaluated is the best news we've gotten. It doesn't mean that we aren't still doomed or won't be screwed in the end but it is still good news.
 
FWIW: UConn vs Cinci vs Memphis vs BYU

http://colleges.startclass.com/comp...-of-Memphis-vs-Brigham-Young-University-Provo

Of these 4 colleges:

  • Cincinnati-Main Campus is the Largest School: (35,313 Total Students)
  • BYU is the Most Difficult to Get In: (47.0% Acceptance Rate)
  • BYU Offers the Cheapest Tuition: ($5,000 Tuition)
  • BYU Offers the Cheapest Out-of-State Tuition: ($5,000)
  • Memphis Provides the Best Freshmen Financial Aid: (97% of Eligible Freshmen Receive Aid)
  • Connecticut Students Graduate the Most in 6 Years: (82% Graduation Rate)
  • Connecticut Students Earn the Most Salary Post-Graduation: ($50,000 Median Salary)
  • Memphis Has the Smallest Class Sizes: (14:1 Student-Teacher Ratio)
  • Memphis Has the Hottest Summer Weather: (81.4 °F)
  • BYU Has the Coldest Winter Weather: (30.6 °F)

Ironically it would actually seem like geography is one of the things working most in our favor. The Big 12 needs a broader footprint and new markets. We bring the DMA's.

While the DMA thing is true, it would require many B12 schools to commit to adding a school that would greatly increase travel.
 
Understood, but isn't this whole Big 12 expansion thing about $. They're going to have to travel to get it.

Re: NCAA / Realignment Discussion (Part V)
Yesterday at 10:26 PM

Some high level donors got to watch UConn football spring practice today with the president and some other key names. At the lunch one of the things talked about was the AAU progress the school is making. The president attended a AAU meeting in late Janurary. She said its expected that she will be in attendance for another meeting in May where budget stuff for 2017 is discussed by the organization. Seemed like she was very happy where UCONN was positioning itself. She was asked if other presidents of non AAU schools were allowed to attend and she replied by saying that all members of The Ivy League were represented and that another school from the "northeast corridor" was also represented.

Other things talked about were basic school matters and the re rise of football getting back to mid 2000s status and then getting to the next level from there on the field. The interim AD who works with the president hinted at their being a reason the season tickets last year and this year are 1 year plans and not 3 like the past decade before that. Seems they are gearing up for something and want to hit it hard when it happens football wise.

On another front, hockey, it seems the plan now is to possibly knock down the old high school which is in a great location for UCONN and build a 5k hockey barn in that spot around 2018. They will apply for a Wagner form Hockey East to extend its time in the XL until then.
