Me thinks that many, if not most, of the points made in this article are applicable to our current CR situation. Just my opinion.

FSU leaving the ACC would be awesome for UConn. I don't see anyway it happens, but it would be awesome.

I personally prefer watching them whine every few months while their sports wane.

I have to give you some slack. I recently read the first ten posts in this thread and after doing so understand where you are coming from.

Hopefully not deja vu all over again.

We’re winners!

The schools left are uconn haters. They likely invite Tulane or some 2 year college over us lol

Footprint looks too concentrated...should trade Houston for an ACC school when the media gods get to the wheelin and dealing phase later this month. And obviously it needs a school in the northeast.

Not so concentrated as you think. If you were to divide Texas by four, such that TCU, Baylor, Texas Tech, and Houston had equal shares, each of those quarters would be more than thirteen times as large as Connecticut.

This is pretty funny on the demise of the PAC:

Can't believe I really want to believe these WVu yahoos. I hope WVU goes bat for us because having more Western teams aren't gonna help them.

I’m an optimist but is the ACC interested in UConn?

I usually discount what this guy says out of hand, but this is exactly what we need the reality to be. B16 wants Oregon and AZ/ASU as Plan A+. Lets hope the B1G comes through on adding O so Plan A can happen with UConn

ESPN has already said that it will pay pro rata for UConn to move to the big 12. If it wanted to it could pay pro rata for UConn to move to the ACC. Granted, they are only paying for 2/3 of that pro rata in the big 12, but still.

(For me, at least, part of the appeal of the ACC would be beating the crap out of the schools that blocked us in the past twice a year. Yeah, I'm looking at you BCU.)

There is smoke. Realistically who are they going to add? The PAC 12 remains?

They aren’t poaching any P5 conferences.

Looking at this map makes me want something to open up in the ACC

I can get a lot of consolation beating the crap out of Cincinnati and rubbing @kobe’s face in our success.

Looking at this map makes me understand another reason Yormack wants us. We will be a compelling reason for some of the ACC schools who might otherwise be reluctant to join the B12 to consider it.

Good possibility that in a few years it will not only be the Big and SEC dangling carrots but the B12 as well resulting in the ACC finally breaking up. Currently the BIG and SEC lack the ability to get enough schools to break the GOR.

So we can be scrambling in 10 years when the ACC gets raided? No, thanks.

my guess would be they would look to the west first

Big XII's GOR expires first. Tell FSU they can take in some Texas schools and Okie State, and throw Kansas in to placate the basketball schools, and bob's your uncle.

Our perspective can only be accepted if people believe our addition to the B12 makes the B12 as attractive a conference as the ACC without the disharmony that exists there.

We still will be behind them in football at least for now. But our addition plus U of A really cements the B12 as the best basketball conference.

In bb we would be what the SEC is in football.
