Good God who would Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa presume to be the third team involved if not UCONN. Penn State is never leaving the B1G now that Maryland is in the fold and UVA and UNC are possible targets of B1G.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa
The ACC met with reps from Cincinnati, PennSt, and one other school (likely UCONN) as recently as January 19th. Separate meetings.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa
2nd source confirmed aforementioned ACC meetings. Done via proxy reps. Would not give name of 3rd school but confirmed it was NOT uconn.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa
SEC explored expansion with available teams. content to wait out GOR. Prefer ACC adds. Also doesn't expect B12 teams to be available.

Utini‏@PromiscuousJawa
Doesn't expect B10 expansion any time soon but expects provisions to allow later expansion to be written into new TV deal.

From his profile: "Still just a kid in his mom's basement making stuff up! Pay no attention to anything I post." I assumed he/she created the account to mock Tux Yoda. Kind of like the Fish of WV! What happened to that guy? Must've taken a hit to the head at the bottom of a mine. None of that stuff makes sense (PSU meeting with ACC, UConn not being included, SEC not thinking B12 teams will be available).

I suspect the ACC is going after a tiny private school or a school in a smaller city outside the current footprint. This would be a perfect fit for the ACC. Perhaps they are going after Rice University or else maybe Memphis.

Mama Mia. The idea that PSU would even offer a courtesy meeting to the ACC is incomprehensible. Should these people be allowed to drive?

to be fair, these people posting on twitter should be the equivalent of crazy people yelling to themselves in an empty room

we're the ones recording their nonsense and compiling it here for analysis

And this is why the B12N will happen and why Uconn and Cincy markets are integral. http://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/writer/jon-solomon/25486513/big-12-schools-made-9-million-less-than-sec-counterparts-in-2014-15…

@MH ver3 except no one watches UCONN football. Their TV ratings are very mediocre.

MH ver3@MH ver3
@nathanmills it's not about ratings.

nathanmills@nathanmills
@MH ver3 part of the research has to be advertising dollars. As an advertiser eyeballs are king.

@MH ver3 @nathanmills BYU isn't getting an invite.

Nobody is leaving the B1G for the ACC. Nobody is leaving the B1G. Period.

That's not even true. Our bowl game ratings were very competitive and that's with our program just coming off it's nadir.

Nah, I think Illinois has just had enough and would rather be part of the Big East.

Agreed but anyone in our region willing to watch any B12 network game counts - it's not just UConn ratings in a vacuum.

An exactly why would Penn St move from a P4 solid lock in the B1G which also offers more money than any other conference versus less money and knowing that the P4 alignment will include the ACC or XII, not both?

 

[Dooley]

I heard Iowa was in talks with the SWC and Purdue is interested in going MAC.

between checking for UConn CR updates and Celtics trade rumors I sure did get a lot of work done today

[whaler11]

The Moonshiners do not realize how much credibility they lose every time they make their litany of ACC Apocalypse tweets.

Doesn't that mean this board has no credibility as well?

 

[Stinger92860]

Unbelievable to have so little self-awareness that you can completely contradict yourself in a matter of two tweets.

3rd school likely UConn, but source confirmed it was NOT Uconn.

If I read it correctly, he had 2 sources. The first thinks it's UConn and the 2nd thinks not.

Jan 3rd tweets...there was reason why UCONN people were giddy with BTM @Uconn/MN HCKY game
UC PREZ followed us 1/3

Michael ‏@micjame · 3h3 hours ago
@flugempire Do you think B1G should have made a play for UConn?

Greg Flugaur‏@flugempire
@micjame IMO timing all wrong for B10.

The sad reality, I look forward to these tweets from flug hoping they're true.

 

[amory]

Whether he knows something or not, at least Flug is an established account. And he really doesn't need to be so emphatic about his prediction if he's just messing around pretending to be an insider.

I want to believe there's something to it, even though it goes against rule #1.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

This is going to be a long spring of Flug and moonshiner updates with nothing really happening.

Killjoy! Go Flug Go!

BTW, when I typed "Go Flug", the next word my phone suggested was "yourself".

BIG XII EXPANSION RUMORS HAVE UNIVERSITY OF HOUSTON ON OUTSIDE LOOKING IN

UConn brings the northeast marketplace, another solid TV story (the Huskies are bigger in New York than Rutgers, who parlayed geography into a Big Ten invite) and wildly successful basketball programs, men's and women's.

This TOTALLY blows the theory Kevin McGuire used as the basis for his article this morning away.
