LSU vs Caitlan and Iowa was a hugely hyped grudge map between two stars. That game may draw better than the Final.

 

[WestHartHusk]

UConn - Iowa may get up there too.

Will be a struggle to get to the same level given the abominable time slot- 9:30 (earliest) Friday night. Dumb dumb dumb on the part of the NCAA.

Welp - that still leaves the ACC with:

1) BC
2) Syracuse
3) Pitt or GT
4) Duke
5) Wake
6) Miami
7) SMU
8) Cal
9) Stanford
10) ND ... maybe

So then add:
11) UConn
12) WashState
13) OregonState
14) maybe Memphis or USF.

why should we believe him? Who are these so-called sources?

never believe him ...this guy throws pro B12 stuff on the wall all day long...

 

[Rufus]

He posts too much fake stuff to believe. I'm convinced FSU ends up in the B1G and UNC the SEC anyways.

Who doesn't want the trans American athletic conference comeback

 

[CoastAtlantic]

Cliff notes:

- says six leave the ACC

- two to Big Ten, four to SEC

- predicts each pay $200 million each; $1.2 billion total

- money might help the rest stay put; ND doesn't move out

- doesn't know who would join but is positive on UConn

Here are the 6 that he says will move.
SEC: UNC, Clemson, NC State, UVa
B1G: FSU, Miami

Has a caller (LOL) that he seems to think has some validity thinks Kansas or VT could pair with FSU instead of Miami.

 

[LoyalFanCT]

Greg has mentioned UConn possible to ACC

 

[Rufus]

I'll trust Flugaur's predictions since he has been spot-on so far.

 

[AllHusky]

Hard to believe we don't land somewhere, B12 or ACC. As one who has been very close to UConn Athletics for many years it was, and still is inconceivable to me that we are still in this position. I know, Rule #1 trumps all, but I still wake up in a cold sweat screaming "WTF, Rutgers and Louisville??" At that point my wife takes all sharp objects away from me, or if we are fighting, hands me a straight razor.

Take UConn, Washington State, Oregon State, San Diego State, USF and 1 more and ACC becomes the All Coasts Conference.

I heard University of Hawaii is a priority for the ACC

"Our media partner wanted us to expand our geographic reach so we could lock down that coveted 2 AM game slot. We believe insomniacs are a highly under served demographic bracket."

Does anyone on here know if these numbers include or exclude Power Conference media money which inflate some schools or if they are strictly based on other factors?

I raise the revenue question because the widespread use of revenue as an argument by nearly every sports commentator seems disingenuous, often promoting a biased narrative against UConn. So the question stands ... do the numbers noted above include TV/Media money for the haves in Power conferences? For example today...

I saw that this morning and stopped watching after the first few minutes. He was looking at UConn’s proposal to the big 12 from back when we were in the AAC. And he scoffed at the notion that we were near NYC and Boston as a selling point.

Can’t take a guy like that seriously. Get some facts and come back and see me

 

[coachcap]

The podcaster is only telling his audience a fraction of the story. While he's saying that UConn is begging to join the XII, he's telling the listeners that it is only basketball along with Gonzaga. He's acting as if UConn has no football team. In reality, UConn wouldn't accept an invitation to the XII without inclusion of it's football team. Football inclusion IS the reason for the request.

If I had to guess, the 6 potential additions to a new ACC would be UConn, USF, SDST, Tulane, WSU and OSU (in that order)

I think they only need 3 to replace what they would lose in this scenario. They already brought in Stanford, Cal and SMU and are required to 15.

 

[NH Husky]

I think UConn should be patient and carefully evaluate all moves and situations for the near future.
Plenty of scenarios may come to fruition.
OSU/WSU expand under PAC banner with Gonzaga/UConn football as a member.
Whatever’s left of the ACC merges with the Big East. Or UConn joins as member of ACC.
Big 12 expands again.

From what I’ve read here, the NCAA basketball payout is different than football which undervalues basketball powerhouses. If B1G/SEC do somehow restructure into some “super league”, they could rewrite that payout and find us a place at that table.
Our brand is peaking now, we need to utilize this to our advantage.
