@Why the exception for Md?Don't say hoop's unless you wait 2 years..that drought is gonna be over if your following!?!

I have no clue wtf you're talking about.

Connecticut: The theory - improves access for the B1G to showcase B1G brands- Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State - in New York City market and extends that reach up the Northeast Corridor to Boston. Decent population numbers between Fairfield County's share of the NYC DMA and the New Haven/Hartford DMA brings immediate revenue to the conference by extending BTN premium fees. Immediately improves B1G men's basketball by adding a three time national champion with a hot young coach. Immediately bolsters B1G hockey ambitions by adding another squad. Immediately makes women's basketball relevant by adding the Huskies, "the gold standard in woman's basketball." Adds quality content to the BTN across many sports including men's soccer (2x national champion) and men's baseball as well as track and field.

Great post CL82. This is an excellent presentation, in my opinion, of the benefit UConn would bring to the B1G.

Since “there's one school everyone pretty much everyone can agree got a raw deal in the past two years, it's Connecticut”, then the conversation should not stop but be continued about how UConn belongs in a power conference. My hope for all of you and what I think you should demand is that Manuel and Herbst, in fact, not be “done” and advocate on behalf of UConn moving to a power conference.

My perspective is that UConn would bring value to the B1G for the reasons that you indicated. My hope for you is that Delany et al. will eventually agree that UConn will bring this value to the B1G and accept your application to the B1G. The pursuit of AAU membership by UConn is absolutely vital though to move forward. AAU membership is, in essence, the key to opening the B1G door. It will not be easy but if the UConn leadership is as passionate about the university and its future like all of you, then it can be done.

You know, sometimes I just want to kiss this guy.

In a manly kind of way...

2. The good news for BYU, Cin, UCONN, USF & UCF is that if they are willing to make the jump they can be football only members in D4.

• 1. Carnot Evans‏@carnot33h
  2. @theDudeofWV Hard to see UConn, Cincy, or even BYU hoops left out of D4. All solid programs.

1. The Dude of WV‏@theDudeofWV3h
   @carnot3 The money would be there for the B12 to add BYU & one other in all sports and UCONN in hoops only.

ACC only conference in the Big5 that has any schools opposed but I'm hearing there are at least 4 and as many as 6 ACC schools against it.

2. @theDudeofWV where is Vanderbilt on the D4 fence?

• 1. Patrick Shumaker‏@patrickshumaker1h
  2. @MurrDCU @theDudeofWV They are posturing now sure. But when the rubber meets the road Wake, Pitt, GT etc. will make the move.
  1. The Dude of WV‏@theDudeofWV42m
  2. @patrickshumaker Dook must decide. I don’t think Pitt or wake can afford to take the plunge.

  2. @theDudeofWV I'm sorry don't see how they can afford to NOT take the plunge. "D3" football WILL NOT pay the same as what they get now.

     @theDudeofWV There is no question they would.

     @louciaccia It’s not speculation. That’s what those ACC schools told Swofford.
     
  4. Lou Ciaccia‏@louciaccia2h
     @theDudeofWV Sorry, I don't believe it. Not saying you weren't told that, but I don't believe they are right

     @louciaccia And look at Swoffies comments

It's always funny to see the WVU idiots hammer on Pitt.

Thank goodness for the Div 4 talk. Now that CR has quited down a new subject will increase traffic and pay Tom's mortgage and put Fishy's kid through college.

The CR crap hasn't caused me to lose sleep and the Div 4 talk won't either. But it sure is tiring.

The season is fast approaching and will be over in a flash. Don't blink or you'll miss it.

What's really tiring (and sadly funny) is watching people get suicidal over conference realignment.

I have no clue wtf you're talking about.

@try reading "between the lines"!!Need reading comprehension lesson's?Start from the 1st comment and work your way down to your "problem"!Ain't that easy?RU's hoop's will be just fine in short order!!Not that hoops matters now(except perception-wise)in CR!

 

[NickyNewark]

Unless your name is Rutgers.

@Attaway to justify being left out tiger!Did you take your ball home too when you weren't picked to play as a kid?Quit crying and get er done!!Every one today is looking for excuses instead of working out their shortcomings!If you don't like RU in the B1G tell their voters and Delany or don't be surprised at the backlash(revenge of BC)!!

 

[uconndogs]

RU's hoop's will be just fine in short order!!!

Yeah, this time will be different............

  2. @fivewise I bet you BYU becomes a football member only of the B12 with Cin.

  2. It's unclear if GT would or not.

  2. I'm told by a high-level ESPN contact that Pitt, Duke and Wake have told the ACC they would not play D4 football.
• 1. The Dude of WV‏@theDudeofWV17h
  2. But not every member of the power conferences will make the jump. Some currently not at the table will...

1. The Dude of WV‏@theDudeofWV17h
   The game is about to change. It will effect realignment and spur more changes and cooperation between conferences.

 

[junglehusky]

haha... dude can't even mask the ACC trolling in his tweets. If he turned down the crazy one notch he might keep more followers.

 

[sportsart]

So Dook and Pitt and Wake are saying bye bye and will join the MAC or Sun Belt conference?

How does a school take a huge financial hit by saying no thanks, and still survive?

Last but not least, didn't we figure out The Dude is a fraud?

A fraud? Why the next thing you know you will be saying the professional wrestling is fake.

I have nothing against Rutgers and wish them all the best in the B1G.

Please note though, I was responding the post about conferences aren't looking for teams to make them better, but rather make the conferences better: Rutgers does not make the B1G better; the B1G makes Rutgers better.

There's no crying or justifying here.

@TuxedoYoda 14m
Any elite sports subdivision that includes Baylor & Texas Tech over UConn & Cinci will be viewed as an absolute joke.

 

[The Funster]

I think most of the tweeters tweet BS but I do agree that some schools will not want to make the d4 jump for both philosophical and financial reasons and that will affect conferences.

As I sit and watch Big Bang Theory I just figured out what Sheldon does when he is not on the set.

P12? Now that is a Big Bang Theory.

Why wouldn't the Big 12 want Cincinnati's basketball team?

The dude replied to someone tonight that West Virginia is an all time top 15 program.

Sir what size do you take in straightjacket?

He also says the Big 10 was looking at Boise State. I'm almost glad I read his timeline. It's pretty hilarious.
