You think FSU is screwed ? Lucy still has the Huskies inked in as Charley. The Noles tried out for the part but she winked and whispered “you know Rule number 1 “.

Imagine the worst possible thing for UConn and that is what will happen.

If we’re just treading water hoping for some ACC remnants to show up with a lifeboat then we will certainly end up drowning.
Agree with part 1.

I do think though (maybe wishfully) that if we can put together a semi-competent program over the next 5-6 years, we’ll be in a good position for the ACC breakup.

I really wish UConn would be more proactive and not monitoring. I would be on the phone with Yormark and the Big 12 working out a deal right now similar to what the PAC leftovers are doing. Big East basketball is starting to show signs of cracking. Only a matter of time.

We need a home for football pronto.

The Big East as a long term plan is not tenable. We really don’t have any great options other than to give things away for free.

Not aligned with Rule 1.

Historic Football Powers not in the SEC/B1G that would bring value to both: Florida State, Clemson, Miami, Notre Dame
Other programs that could carry their weight in revenue in either the SEC/B1G and would bring value to both: North Carolina
Other programs that may get a look from either the SEC or B1G based on new markets: Virginia (B1G/SEC), Virginia Tech (SEC), North Carolina State (SEC), Georgia Tech (B1G)
May be included as a tag along: Duke (SEC/B1G)

I think this is the short list of anyone who still has a shot at joining either the B1G or SEC. Some have much better odds than others, but I don't think anyone else has a snowballs chance.

Agree.

Though I think AZ CO UT -- semi-large but rapidly growing states -- could be valuable someday. Not now, but might get some interest in a decade.

At the rate things are going, Arizona and Utah might be unhabitable in a decade

UConn to the Bigxx in 10 years then after global warming renders AZ a wasteland... there's a chance it could happen, perhaps 0.01%, but it's a higher probability than the ACC inviting us.

When a girl turns you down twice for a date do you keep calling/texting her?

I wouldn't know. No one has ever turned me down. Of course, I had very low standards. Alas, I wouldn't call the SEC or B1G, but the Big 12 is doable, in my opinion. UConn needs a great salesman.
Does anyone else feel like there has been at least one TRO in buddies life at one point in time?

I don't know what your profession is, but that is quite an incitefuI deduction. I did have one, but so did the opposing party! I still won. They moved shortly thereafter. My point is persistence is required. Time for UConn to stop monitoring and get moving.
