   ACC was looking at Cincinnati and Connecticut as potential expansion candidates. Now, looks like UConn will get the nod if ACC expands.

   After Big 12 expands, look for ACC to heavily court Notre Dame to join fully in all sports, including football.

I don't buy anything said by the twitter verse. How can you? But I will say this, if the ACC intends to add Uconn in some last second miracle, then best do it as soon as the XII finishes their announcement or their may not be anything left to invite, psychologically speaking.

Is Big 12 Steve's Twitter account down? I can't find him any more. There are a lot of reasons that he could be taken down. I imagine the Big 12 was not too happy that he was representing himself as an ex-Big 12 employee, but that is easy enough to fix by changing his profile. Strange that they made him take the entire account down. Either he was right, and the Big 12 ordered the account down, or he found out he was wrong, and didn't want to look like an idiot.

There are always new entrants to the Twitterati and online "insiders" any time expansion is about to happen. It is an easy way for someone to get some instant credibility. Create an account, go all in on one scenario, and then if you are right, you are lifetime "insider". If you are wrong, you just create another account.

Wow, Memphis?? Really?? I refuse to believe that b12 will take Memphis. What a kick to the stugots if true.

If our hopes lie with ND joining ACC for football, we're pretty much done.

Emo.

Crazy things have been happening in spectator sports. It's been a growing industry for a long time. (As our message board proves.) Don't we have to pay to attend high school games now? The Big Ten is also not done expanding. Better we go to the ACC or Big Ten anyway.

Emo.

Lmao. But seriously, ND is already banging the in all positions ACC, no nend for an engagement ring at this point.

I'd more believe that they added us for all sports with a ND type arrangement for football.

ND might be donkey punching the ACC right now but I don't think that is an arrangement that can last. ND can be strong-armed into a conference. Lots of tradition has already been obliterated.

@elite sources has like 49 followers. Probably a Memphis troll.

 

[Adios]

That user name is a play on stuff like this stupid thread. lol

If Memphis gets in over us I will be done with college sports. That will be the straw that breaks my back. I can take a lot- Pitt, Ville, even Cincy. But Memphis? No. I can't take that.

UConn will have a better home in 2024 than the Big 12. It sucks to think Memphis or UCF will get in before Connecticut does, but I wouldn't fret.

Big Ten or ACC is coming. I'm pretty sure of it.

If that's the case I'd like to ride out the next eight years in a P5 league and not in the AAC with Middle Tennessee St. and Southern Mississippi

why is everyone here convinced all of a sudden that we're out?

2 days ago everyone (random twitter people and legitimate writers) had us in.

UCONN went from being favorites with Cuse in 2011, then penned in when Maryland left and now were probably getting beat out by Memphis. 2024 is a long way away, UCONN could be not the same type of program by then. No offense, no one here is going to take consolation with your statement.

I guess my question is, is this the normal run of the mill "sky is falling" boneyard panic, or is it based on anything legitimate

I agree. Concede nothing.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Can't post Twitter, but some account called Big12 leaks is saying that UCONN will be announced this week with Houston, BYU, and Cinci based on Taki g more of a haircut. Has 15 followers, says account will be deleted soon.

I'll take it.

I looked at your post and thought, why would the Dude give a darn about whether Memphis gets in? And then I looked again and laughed.

This board is masterful at sensing an impending kick and now it senses a tremendous, bag busting NK that could arrive at any moment.

Then I think you need an objective slap in the face from someone who doesn't have a dog in this fight...

You're honestly better off waiting a few years and getting in a real conference with real actual rivalry possibilities than settling for a league who wants you to undercut yourself financially out of desperation and the nearest competitor is four states away.

Seriously man... if you really think about it, the Big 12 is an awful fit. Everyone is so consumed with being power five, at what cost is it worth it? The Big 12 is trying to get teams to take as little money as possible so they can run to the bank. Is it really a good thing for your program?

I'm being objective when I say this... you are better off waiting for the Big Ten or ACC. I've been saying a while now I think UConn eventually gets in the Big Ten. If it happens that they go with Texas, Oklahoma, etc., it will definitely be 10 times better than this rag-tag league.
