Realignment Notebook: Pac-12 on verge of collapse

The Pac-12 is on the verge of collapse. Read on to see why that is and more.

Paywall. @huskymedic

There is something about UConn talking to the ACC here.

More spitballing/feces tossing @ wall:

-> * It is unknown what will happen with the ACC should multiple schools leave, but UConn has had preliminary dialogue with the conference. As of now, it is unlikely that UConn will join the Big 12 because the four corner schools look as if they will go together, which was unexpected as recently as a week ago.<-

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

Lol, well, yeah, there's that.

 

[ZooCougar]

The Big 12 is going to lock down Utah. Total power move.

 

[CL82]

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.

Bob is my uncle! How did you know?!

 

[CL82]

Yeah.
That gives us ten years to strengthen our football program. The reason the ACC would get raided is because they have better brands than XII. And northeast rivalries would allow basketball to maintain dominance. More likely chance UCONN is one of those raided teams.

Agree until the last sentence. You take your opportunities where you find them. If we've got a chance today, we jump all over it. Imagining that things will lineup exactly right so we will have another opportunity in the future isn't a plan. It's a daydream

I agree it’s dreaming. But I think we can achieve a winning football program faster against ACC competition while protecting basketball. And I said “more likely” (than XII).

Yeah and a huge risk. As they say you take the bird in hand.

It would be very on-brand for the way these conferences are run.

Coast to coast basketball power.

 

[amory]

Less elite basketball lol

 

[uconnbaseball]

If we are talking to the ACC, that is bad news. They have never had major interest in us (and adding us does nothing to placate FSU’s temper tantrum), and indicates the Big 12 is not happening. The Nelsonmuntz nightmare scenario that everyone scoffed at is on the table.

 

[phillionaire]

Less elite basketball lol

understatement of the century lol

Losing to Utah, the second school in a state that has a smaller population, is much more spread out, and less wealthy than Connecticut would be a bad look for UConn’s leadership.

It would be a bad look for the B12 leadership

No, it really wouldn't.

 

[UCONNJACK]

Two flagship schools from California?

 

[superjohn]

There's already been two super conferences in football for a while now in terms of money and one super conference in football in terms of winning. If they think those two conferences will get even bigger and more powerful with one of them taking home all the hardware every year, well duh.

If we get passed up again it's just the fault of the BOT. Those are the people that have been guiding us through this mess for the last decade+ and failing to right the ship in a timely manner.

 

[DCUconnfan]

There are not two people I dislike more in CFB reporting than Paul Finebaum and DInich and here they are on one screen together. Uhg.

Please explain why it would be a bad look for UConn's leadership and not the B12's.

 

[Bubba1957]

I’d also prefer the big 10 or 12, but maybe the acc has something big up their sleeve. How about a merger between the acc and big East? Obviously some of the schools would be b-ball only. It would be a power house in b-ball and offer good rivalries in football.

All I know is if we get into one of these conferences we start with the top football, b-ball and baseball coaches in any of them.

What happened to people's memory?

Florida State has cried wolf before. More than once.

How do you not remember that?

 

[GG]

If that is the case, doesn’t this just strengthen the argument to have the best basketball teams possible so you cannot be excluded if the two super conferences decide to break away?

Selective amnesia. They need something to talk about.
