It's even less likely than the ACC just cherry picking those few teams they feel help them demographically. And even that's still close to zero.

Coach K wasn't happy when the ACC pulled Miami, Virginia Tech and BCU the first time. He actually said it was akin to driving a tractor trailer on your neighbors lawn.

I think Coach K has always had a soft spot for UConn but it was low key. Now with Danny running college basketball he is quick to heap praise since he considers the Hurleys to be almost like sons.

I listen to K’s show quite a bit and he is very much a voice of reason right now. Which means he probably won’t get listened to.

Whether it will happen and whether it should happen are two different things. I do not think it will happen.

But you would literally have to have a skull full of dog spit not to realize that if the ACC, Big 12 and Big East, and ultimately like the Big 10, do not do something big to change the market dynamic, there will be the SEC and everyone else. I think that somewhere in that process college sports will just collapse as a major entertainment product.

I agree. I'm already completely disgusted with how quickly the SEC bought basketball teams and is looking at 12-13 bids. Its just kind of ridiculous. Don't get me wrong, I don't fault them at all. They are just doing what they can do, but I think this is going to really damage the college model long term.

The Big 10 has the upper hand on the SEC now. And it’s not even close. They are now the junior partner in this endeavor.

At 22:09, Flugaur says, in response to a question, that he has not heard about UConn to the ACC at all. A decision about UConn and the Big12 will be made this year.

As much as I respect Greg, the ACC can still grab UConn. We have to see how things play out.

My guess is that Flug is claiming the ACC is planning clandestine meetings to determine their next move.

I personally don't see this as likely because that conference's hands are cuffed until the media rights extension is either officially picked up or officially dropped by ESPN.

This batshittery again.

ESPN cannot drop the ACC. They are tied together through the end of 2036. They can adjust during the look in, but they are not dropping the ACC.

That is what I hear as well. ESPN wants the ACC...just not going to dump love out on the street during the renegotiation/look in process which is currently underway as it would undermine their pricing discussion.

Is he talking football only? If so, then it might make sense.

The podcasters seem to think it was for all sports, which is crazy. There was no way UConn was ever going to do that. It was always only for football.

"According to Yahoo! Sports' Ross Dellenger, UConn has engaged in talks with the Pac-12 about joining the conference as a football only-member".


"Though the possibility of UConn joining the Pac 12 as a football-only complement was explored last week, this will not happen. UConn sources, requesting anonymity, told The Courant the university doesn’t consider this the right fit at this time".

Sources: UConn won’t join Pac-12, doesn’t consider conference the right fit

The wheels of collegiate conference realignment are spinning again, with basketball powerhouse Gonzaga set to join the newly configured Pac 12. Though the possibility of UConn joining the Pac 12 as a football-only complement was explored last week, this will not happen. UConn sources, requesting...

We're better off making our own football schedule. Unless there was enough money there, which apparently there wasn't.

I cant see the ACC doing anything, I could be wrong though.

The fact they added Stanford, Cal and SMU told me everything I needed to know about UConn and the ACC.

I don’t think it says much. They got into Texas for free (recruiting) and getting into Cali with large, quality schools seems hard to pass up. The ACC’s problem is Wake, BC and at least for now, Cuse. (Cuse should be good in basketball again with the right coach and rivalries and football is pretty solid). Honestly, the other, and probably true problem with the ACC, is that ESPN has stopped hyping it.

That's reminiscent of what happened with the big east right before they funded it's evisceration.

When the employer quiet quits on their contract. It's dead money already spent.

UConn will likely be the exception to this. Yes, I think there's more Western expansion on the horizon, but I think UConn finally gets in when the dust clears. I don't know if that's going to be to appease the UNC/Duke tobacco road faction as an all sports thing to counter western additions. I don't know if it's as a merger with the Big East which I think is increasingly likely, personally. I'm not sure which route it'll shake out as. I do think UConn is in, though.

ACC will weigh changes to its title game, commissioner says

ACC commissioner Jim Phillips said on Sunday the league will have conversations among coaches and athletic directors to ponder changes to its conference championship game format after a season in which two league teams made the College Football Playoff.

Why even play a regular season if they are going to choose who is going to play in championship game?

I’m also confused about this. The ACC only got 2 teams in the playoff BECAUSE of their format. SMU wasn’t punished by losing it.

Yeah that's dumb. I'd be fine with the top four of each conference playing a mini tournament. But whatever.
