Hockey is a niche sport. You hockey guys are delusional.
If our success in Basketball,which is a major sort ,hasn't gotten us in .
Why would you think anyone will move the needle over hockey.
While all you guys were busy bashing the AAC , thinking things couldn't get worse ,I predicted our conference would be raided again ,by the B12 , and we would not get a n invite. So there was some value in the conference it just wasn't us.
We are really pretty screwed , unless the B1G saves us.
Why would they?
The ACC and theIr Daddy ESPN wants us dead .

We have been done in by our own lack of forsight in football.
Repeat after me
Football

I couldn't give you a like because I don't like what you are saying, but you are correct. All of this hockey talk is silly. If it mattered, Quinnipiac would be in the B1G. I think it was not only lack of foresight, but lack of will. People like to finger point at the previous administration, but the current president, although she certainly has improved UConn academically, and her cohort rock star fumbled away UConn's last chance to get out of this mess.

@WSJ @TuxedoYoda BYU, USF, UCF the most valuable among non-P5

@Kool_J75 @UCFSports @WSJ @TuxedoYoda USF football program has no value to B12.

the Big Ten does have experience with odd numbers...

However, (15 * 9) does not divide by 2 well, so somebody would be shorted a game with a nine-game conference schedule.

UConn will happily play an 8 or 10 game schedule, and if necessary be handicapped for the league championship, in order to make early entry possible.

HUGE dropoff between UCONN and Cincinnati. I was quite surprised when I saw that actually!

And Johns Hopkins is a member of the B1G in one sport. Would you be satisfied if UConn joined the B1G only in hockey?

A scenario which as a 0% chance of occurring, by the way.

You missed the sarcasm. My point is that when it comes to the BTN, the revenue comes from different areas and you need to take into account the sum of all of the parts.

Please don't misquote me on what I've said today. No Big 12 expansion for 2015, 2016. 2017, 2018, 2019. In 2020 they get serious about it.

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire 2h2 hours ago
@theDudeofWV I agree with this statement. I don't see the Big 12 expanding until at least 2019. I don't agree with Big 12 leaders..however

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 54m 54 minutes ago
We could dissect ACC Football REV numbers and instantly see how the middle and Bottom of the Conf will not keep up with Mid-Bot of other P5

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 50m 50 minutes ago
For Big 12 schools: Look at Football REV for 2013/14 average for Big 10 = $62,407,139 vs. Big 12=$61,033,836..close, right?....however....

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 48m 48 minutes ago
...if you take off top 2 Football REV schools in each conf(Mich&OSU)&(OU&UT) you get averages: Big 10 = $55,697,604 vs. Big 12=$47,321359...

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 46m 46 minutes ago
Point is the Big 10 is very healthy in Middle and Bottom of Conf when it comes to payouts vs other P5 conf, still using old B1G TV contracts

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 44m 44 minutes ago
What happens in comparing the Mid-Bot of Big 10 Conf in payouts vs. others when the new Big 10 Tier 1 contract comes aboard in 2017?

Greg Flugaur @flugempire · 43m 43 minutes ago
Conference Expansion/Realignment is going to happen again in the next 5 years. The gap in money..gap in monetizing markets will make it so

@flugempire Out of curiosity Fluges are you professionally connected to college sports/broadcast media?

@ctkevb Not professionally connected to either, but personally connected to one of those.

Hockey East is a top conference totally confined within New England. UCONN is packing the XL Center. That is visibility. It's the AAU thing that is the B1G hurdle.

by totally confined in New England, are you somehow including South Bend into the very far western portion of CT?

God, I hope you're being facetious because it's so hard to tell on here any more.

In case not, Johns Hopkins being an associated member of the Big Ten for lacrosse does us no good at all. Unless you want us to quit the AAC so we can only compete in the Big in lacrosse, or volleyball, or some other non-revenue sport.

@theDudeofWV I don't have any misconceptions about value. I know there isn't enough $ in any potential member aside from ND.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 9h9 hours ago
@tsnmike The Big 12 source told me last night there isn't any way the Big 12 DOESNT expand in preparation for the next deal.

Timmy Hinds ‏@Hindstr4 · 7h7 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @tsnmike didn't your big 12 source say no expansion not too long ago?

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago
@Hindstr4 @tsnmike No expansion. I always said it was possible in 5 or 6 years. That's never changed.

Timmy Hinds ‏@Hindstr4 · 6h6 hours ago
@theDudeofWV @tsnmike You are saying your sources are making you feel like they need to before their new contract. That's still expanding

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV · 6h6 hours ago
@Hindstr4 @tsnmike Twitter people who are telling your guys the Big 12 has a deal with any AAC school or is about to have a deal are wrong.

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @Hindstr4 The Big 12 is not expanding. They are not engaged in the process of expanding.

Christopher Lambert

Christopher Lambert
‏@theDudeofWV @Hindstr4 does not contradict the fact the Big 12 is not expanding.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV

Future Big 12 plans for expansion - i.e. in 2021 - are contingent on two factors.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV
· 4h 4 hours ago
1. being that Fox and/or ESPN agree to overpay again to keep the Big 12 intact & insist on more inventory in return.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV
· 4h 4 hours ago
2. Being that Texas buys into a possible Big 12 network and expansion beyond 12 is feasible.

Christopher Lambert @theDudeofWV · 4h 4 hours ago
So unless the Big 12 gets a raise somehow its not expanding now or ever.

Yeah, it was an oversight. But I don't pay any mind to ND anyway, the school whose only objective is finding a teet from which to suck.

@flugempire Do you make anything on Virginia Tech moving up the games against Penn State and scheduling Rutgers for 2023-24?

Greg Flugaur
‏@flugempire @Transic_nyc The worst kept secret in the ACC landscape is VA Tech is the most willing school to leave the ACC. VA TECH becoming viable

I'm pretty sure I saw the real Rutgers Al post on the Rutgers board a few weeks ago saying it's not him on twitter. Still an entertaining follow but not as good knowing it's not really him.
 
FWIW, The dude has some tweets, dating back a couple of days, in which he indicates that UCONN would be the number one candidate if the big 12 started its own network.

Our metrics increase significantly when a private network is a key part of the selection process. The size and location of the UConn DMA, the loyalty of UConn nation and the low level of competition with Professional sports in state make us a positive revenue addition. I don't see much c0mpetition left for us in the non P5 space, maybe BYU and that's it. Did I forget anyone?
 
Yes, for a network we're #1 and BYU #2, no one else adds much. For over the air TV brand matters much more.

For a network of course we're more valuable than BC, Cuse, Pitt, or Louisville, but that didn't matter to the ACC. Nevertheless it should be a key part of UConn's sales pitch to any conference: "The revenue streams are moving to networks, either conference networks or ESPN networks featuring a limited portfolio of conferences, and so even if your revenue isn't derived from a network now, your future revenue will be based on value to a network. UConn is one of the 30-40 most valuable properties in the country to a network. You can increase your average per-school value by adding UConn."
