Weiss is a good guy, but he’s never been immune to posting some weird stuff on Twitter. He also has the absolute worst toupe in sports media. I am not sure what that has to do with anything, but seriously, you have to see it. It’s amazing. It’s red.

I was thinking Marv Albert but what Marv has is closer to a full wig so yeah, Weiss wins.

I'm not sure what you think the future holds for the ACC but even if they do lose a half dozen current members (it would be at most that many), the remaining conference will be pretty much an equal to the B-12 in quality and brand power. Why would any of these schools pay exit fees (which exceed $100mm) to make what would be a lateral move?

It really depends on what happens with FSU. What they pay will dictate whether other schools can get out as well. I recognize most of those other schools don’t have the same deep pockets, but it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Even without FSU, Clemson and the partial ND situation, the ACC would be very comparable to the B-12 (that will no longer have Texas or Oklahoma once the calendar hits July). Jumping from the ACC to the B-12 would be a lateral move and it would land whatever schools made the move in a conference that would then most likely exceed 20 members.
 
As of 2024, the B12 is going to distribute 10 million dollars less per school than the ACC. Even when Clemson and FSU leave the ACC, the exit fees will be large enough to continue the discrepancy until the 2030s, at which point college sports might have ceased to exist as we know it. Really doubt there is going to be a large exodus of ACC schools to the B12

I think it is the instability of the ACC that could result in other teams making a move. Will ESPN pick up the option?

All these Big 12 people with no sense thinking we should accept a Hoop only offer in that thread a morons. Stay out of the corn belt unless they offer football.

One of the issues is UConn football has no rivalries games except for UMass. The main reason is not being Division I for a very long period and Big East falling apart.

I was just explaining one of the reasons why I think UConn has not been picked to move to P4. Need to start building a winning tradition. It is difficult since UConn is a great Basketball school with no traditions in football. There is no reason why UConn could not be the best team in New England. Unfortunately college football in New England is just not religiously followed like other parts of the country.

UConn has been playing football since 1896. They've won 26 conference championships, including two in the big east which was a major conference prior to the bring raided by ACC. They have been to BCS bowl game.

Thank you for your interest in Connecticut football.

Nobody cares about your opinion or reasons here.

You can’t explain anything to us. It’s like not having asthma and telling someone who has asthma what it is like.

Stop talking.

Again who are UConn’s football rivalries? Most of UConn history dating back to 1896 is at the FCS level. UConn has a great basketball history but you need to be realistic that UConn does not have a storied football history. In CT Yale has a storied football history prior to deciding to move down to FCS level. No matter what the P2 does I believe UConn will continue to have a great basketball programs and compete at the highest levels.

There wasn't FCS in 1896.

You are not telling us anything we don't know already.

We lost a conference and then we uprooted the program to save basketball because the AAC was a disaster for us. When you have a center of gravity that has delivered and is still delivering then you protect that center of gravity at all costs.

These threads are over a decade old.

You should stop explaining to us things that we have talked about 600 times since 2010.

There is no earthly way short of 10s of millions of dollars that we would accept a hoop only invite to some flyover state conference.
