Did they kill the key tweets thread? This should be key. The real ones know why.
Terzi is the key tweet.It's a waste of breath to talk about throwing out BC. They just put the President of BC on the ACC Executive Committee. DiMauro tweeted about it.

If you look at the FS1 and 2 numbers, not all that many people are finding them there either. That was something we used to make fun of the Big East for.I worry about losing casual fans.....losing non alumni....losing a lot of people that only find college sports when scrolling. Its a big portion of the ratings.
You must not have paid attention to all the talk the last 5+ years about the collective fear of streaming for your respective team. You just ignoring all that fear from the power brokers (owners in pros / ADs in college)? We left the AAC in part because ESPN had designs to bury the WBB on ESPN+.
Its going to be another decade ahead until a streaming game is considered a respectable outlet vs a linear or cable game. Can recruits find your game on tv? It will matter less over time, but we aren't there yet - its still matters right now.
Dated 2011, so they relate to the original Big East, not the new conference that was formed in 2013 of which we are currently a member.I found these by-laws. Withdrawal is on page 12. Effective date of withdrawal must be July 1 and at least 27 months after the date that the Notice of Withdrawal is received by the Commissioner.
BCU is such a waste of space. They brought nothing to the ACC. UConn would have been way better add a long time ago, but the ACC listened to Miami and Donna Shalala to add BCU.It's a waste of breath to talk about throwing out BC.

then maybe the 27 months thing is to make it more drama on the leaving team? I guess I'm trying to understand the logic.All units are forfeited to the departed conference anyway. So makes little difference. Even those achieved in the interim after the notice given.

I don't see why football couldn't join immediately, unless it complicates membership with the Big East and would prevent us from playing there. We could even take a haircut the first few seasons for football and use that as justification to receive full shares when basketball joins fully.It is to give the departee conference the chance to replace the departing school. It is also to get schools and conferences to get their spit together so they announce in the winter or spring rather than the summer. That is why it is 27 months instead of 24. So if the Big 12 announces it is adding UConn at the end of August, that means that realistically, UConn would not join until 2027. Given a likely "earn-in" into the new league, UConn would probably not get a full share of their Big 12 TV revenue until 2030 or so, which (not so) coincidentally is right around the end of the Big 12's current ESPN contract.
In other words, if UConn left the Big East, it would be taking a lot of risk on a new Big 12 linear contract that might end up being a lot less than the current one.
He broke Louisville to the ACC over us before anyone. It was kind of a joke.Why?
I'll gladly take my chances with the Big 12. The new Big East is not the long-term answer for UConn athletics. The OBE was fine for us, the NBE isn't. Being a part of the Big 12 gives better scheduling opportunities for most of out major sports with the possible exception of men's basketball, but the Big 12 is also a very strong basketball conference. Better scheduling equals better media content.It is to give the departee conference the chance to replace the departing school.

BC won't get thrown out, even though they add very little value to the ACC. They'll just go down with the ACC ship and try to ride someone else's coattails again. The ACC is being held together uncomfortably by a band aid called the GOR. At least half that league is waiting to bolt.It's a waste of breath to talk about throwing out BC.

First of all, to quote the late great Colonel Sanders, "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken."With all due respect (and no, unlike Ricky Bobby I'm not going to follow that with an insult), you still haven't told me why if UConn adds value they wouldn't have added UConn now and filled the last slot later. What did they gain, if we add value, but not pulling the trigger on us now?
I am not saying we are worth $50 million a year if we're paired with Colorado. I have not tried to quantify the value we add. I am saying that we add value to the vision the B12 is trying to establish as a 1) national conference with a northeast location and 2) the premier basketball league.That's a fair characterization. And it makes my point. So I'll say this and stop -- if we truly added value to the Big XII, and the Big XII realized that, there is no good reason they wouldn't take us. Among other things, it might make the Four Corner Schools realize that there might only be a spot for 3 of them and they didn't want to be the last one to ask.
I hope we get in. It is in the interests of the university and the athletic department. But this thought that we're worth $50M a year if we're paired with Colorado, but not otherwise, is not rational.
Pretty bad shape these days when MHver3 is the sourced analystThis feels like recycled AI written article but ill throw it here anyways.

Is Arizona stopping UConn from getting a Big 12 all-sport invite? How resistance to bring Huskies on for all sports could kill the deal
UConn has been in the Big 12 expansion rumors in the last few weeks.www.sportskeeda.com
Didn't the Old BE do the same thing just before it blew apart?It's a waste of breath to talk about throwing out BC. They just put the President of BC on the ACC Executive Committee.

If the ACC lost 2 schools tonight, I still think they’d take Memphis and SMU before UConn. They’ve made it clear they don’t value us.

Does this mean anyone can grab a pseudonym and start pumping out propaganda through these guys? Maybe there's an opportunity here.Disregard that article, it's just click bait. This is the Nigerian soccer fan that wrote the article. The site most likely wrote it, but they are hiding behind this guy.
