Anyone on this board can do what he does. The Dude makes lukewarm predictions and backs them up with fake sources. When they don't come to fruition, he reminds everyone that these things are fluid. FWIW Flug is about the only guy who seems to have a real source, however he still makes a lot of assumptions based on the little bit of info he is given.

Yeah but before the portal and NIL hecwas saying the big schools wanted to recruit right off other teams rosters. He nailed exactly how that was going to work. Could have been a lucky guess.

1. Make a bunch of predictions that aren’t consistent with no factual basis.

2. Post all of them publicly

3. One of the them pans out despite have zero evidence.

4. See! I was right. Never mind that the other 99 were wrong.

That’s the Tucker, Alex, Dude of WV, Flugaur, Swaim playbook.

A bunch of con men.

CR has been about markets, football, brands, and for the ACC crappy athletics on the west coast, etc.
People actually think FSU may not have a landing spot if it somehow escapes the GI Joe kung-phu grip of the ACC. No way the P2 pass on FSU when they have programs like Miss State and Rutgers in their ranks. It would make zero sense to pass on a program which brings in big time revenue.

That said, I would really love to see the Big 12 grow and be just as entertaining, if not more so, than the P2. Perfect world, UConn would be invited to the party too.

My evergreen reminder:

People behave strategically.

The B12-FSU/Clem rumor could be
(a) True
(b) Dangled by the B12 (or a member) to lure other ACC teams
(c) Dangled by the B12/Yormark to show its members it's working for them
(d) Dangled by FSU/Clem to make others believe they might be off the market soon
(e) None of the above

(A) seems the least likely to me

Problem with these Twitter dudes is they have no editor or journalism standards that would push them to get multiple sources and not getting played by a 'source' with an agenda.

There is a big difference between the p12 situation a year ago and today with the ACC. The ACC has a media deal with another year on it and it is very likely to get that deal extended at with an increase (albeit well short of the B1G and SEC) in the next year with espn. The p12 collapsed because it literally had no media deals and the clock was up. Maybe I am wrong, but I think ESPN would rather extend the ACC at a 30 per team level then let it collapse and have to pay more for most of the same schools in an expended power 3.
 
So the B-12's gambit is that they can convince more than half of the ACC to leave (allowing for those schools to dissolve the conference) just so that they can be part of a ridiculously large B-12, with basically everything else being similar?

A lot of this is people blowing smoke for the sake of blowing smoke.

I don't care what happens anymore, including with us, as long as Cuse and BC get left behind and feel the pain deep. Also likely gives us annual regional hate games.

I think the Big 12 wants to become "too big to fail." They've determined that there will be 3 power conferences and they are determined to be number 3. Maybe seeing their potential demise with the losses of Missou, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, and A&M allowed them to be more unified in going after the PAC and ACC.

The Big 12 is A (not THE) bad guy here. They helped blow up the PAC by taking enough schools that others had to follow or be left behind. They could do the same with the ACC.

I personally can't see UConn getting a full spot in the Big 12. I think they've been using us for years. But there may only be a handful of okay programs left in the ACC by the time the Big 12, Big 10 and SEC are done. I don't believe the Big 10 or SEC want to take on any ACC teams now, but they will.

100%.
 
In terms of P3 I personally don’t think we will be picked. For our future I think It’s either Big East/indy, Big East merge with ACC remnants, or ACC leftovers. This sucks but football over the last 14 years has really hurt us. 3 terrible hires in a row.

Looking back to 12 months ago…that was the chance. Unfortunately, the entirety of the PAC12 realized it too.

Yeah if the networks want to move to a power 3 then we're probably left out. We only hitch a ride if just 2-4 leave the ACC. And at that point the ACC is just an AAC 1.0 with better basketball. Which is fine. We'd probably make $15-$20m annually

Except, if the sec and big ten are saying no to Clemson and fsu, it’s clearly not just about on field success. Can’t imagine a new landscape without the northeast corridor and our basketball success may just be enough to propel us.

Yeah, maybe......but if UConn BB continues anything close to what we have been the last 24 months we ought to get that last ticket.

Or (f) The product of a fever dream of one of the many Internet wannabe conference realignment "experts."

Logical, but the specter of CR #1 occupies a whole lot of real estate in my head.

I like our chances, somewhat, if the P conferences are expanding membership, but, as we saw with last summer's big 12 dalliance, if it's a contraction there is a predisposition to take from existing members of of the club.
 
Stuff being thrown at the wall…

Imagine how desperate you have to be post this.
