Non-Key Tweets

Since the big 12 sponsors the bulk of our other sports, I think we'd have to be all in with them.

Otherwise, you could get around the general rule by designating a conference as your "primary conference".

That isn't really how it works though. With the exception of sports like hockey where most conferences are that sport only, the vast majority of associate members in various sports are associate members of a conference that sponsors a lot of overlapping sports with said associates' primary conferences. Us in the Big East for FH while we were still in the AAC and before the AAC starting sponsoring FH themselves, for instance.

And you do designate a primary conference. It's literally the reason schools can become associate members of non-sponsored sports in the first place. You declare a primary conference (I believe it has to be who you're in basketball for since all all-sport conferences sponsor it) so that if that conference doesn't sponsor a sport for which you have a program you can still get limited conference benefits you wouldn't otherwise get by nature of being forced to be independent.

Strength of schedule favors the XII. I would think that if the XIi offered, the Huskies would be out of the Big East in a heartbeat...

They also got 6 million more viewers to their championship game than the ACC.

Anytime you can get ND football and UConn BB, you take a shot.
If UConn FB is a throw-in, who are we to argue

I mean if you can't post MHver3 in Non-Key Tweets what is even the point of this thread

Non-key connotes some sort of importance. Mhver3 is so far from resembling anything near key or importance. He's such a waste of time.

Maybe it's reverse psychology on Yormark's part.

Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what is actually desired.

I don’t think so.

They aren’t fools. Almost everyone can see what a toxic mess having Notre Dame in your conference can be.

No, non-key denotes that there is absolutely no importance to the tweets listed here. It was a thread created as a destination for tweets from Mhver3 and other West Virginia basement dwelling self-appointed conference realignment "experts".

What happened is that we had a thread of "Key Tweets" which were tweets from proper insiders/officials about conference realignment. But people were posting complete nonsense from folks like MHver3, so we created the Non-Key Tweets thread.

However, both threads have turned into absolute dumpster fires in the corresponding years, so there are no rules anymore.

Really crazy that the B1G and B12 will likely get 10+ teams each into the tourney per Rothstein. The Big East never got that many I don’t think, yet it was outrageously strong at its peak. Sure seems like the P4 are getting more “help” than ever.

2011 the Big East got 11 teams in.

lol. Thus my “I don’t think”. I was questioning it. I thought it was 9. Regardless, it seems these P3s are going to hit double digits often, if not every year (ACC excluded) . I’m not sure that bodes well for the future of the tournament as we know it. The more often the tourney is dominated start to finish by power schools, the less likely the powers that be are to recognize and protect what the mid majors bring to the tournament.

Sure looks like the Big East is cooked unless they can pull a rabbit out of a hat. It also looks like the ACC could really use UConn, but I’m not sure I even want to go there. It’s an awful league and it is going to get worse.

Honestly, would ESPN/the ACC just let Notre Dame out of their deal with the conference? Their non-football sports don't bring any media revenue to the table. Is 2.5 home football games a year against mediocre ACC teams worth the drama and ~$17mil payout? Just let them walk

aka one of the reasons I don't buy it when someone says we had to win that Big East Tournament to make it into the NCAAs. That and the resultant 3 seed.

Yeah. I think we had to make it to the semifinals.

To ESPN yes. The ratings on the home games make a material increase in the value of the deal. Because it impacts the value of the TV deal, that's what makes the $17M payout worth it to the ACC.

Big East had 11.

Big East also had 3 of Final 4 teams in 1985 which I think is a better measure.
