Take UConn, both the Florida schools and who cares for #14. I have a feeling it would be Cincy to keep the conference in two time zones.

Give the Texas schools full access to Florida's HS recruits and markets and vice versa and it's a done deal. Texas, Oklahoma, OSU would have no problem filling up the Bucaneers stadium or Brighthouse in Orlando. Heck, the Citrus Bowl could get dusted off for really big games.

Lots of discussion on Orangebloods today with some inside sources.

UT wants to stay with OU in whatever conference we are in...whether it's the Big 12 or the Pac, B1G, SEC or ACC. Boren's suggestions to fix the Big 12 won't close the gap with the B1G or SEC, so the hope is that UT and OU quietly discuss leaving together when it is possible (2025 at the latest). Hopefully Boren will get the message loud and clear after the May Big 12 meetings are over, and we can get the process going quietly.

Insiders on Orangebloods indicated the Pac is still very interested in expanding with UT and OU, with some additional teams possible. No word on how many (4 or 6) are preferred or who they are.

ME: "Death By Texsa" is still remotely possible. It'll depend on how willing the PAC is on taking in additional schools from the B12.
 
Just looking at the Connecticut Market we are 50% bigger than either UC or BYU and unlike those schools there is no P5 competition in state. Besides the Connecticut footprint, we will bring some percentage of the Boston to NYC markets outside of Connecticut. If we agree to play some conference games in NYC, Metlife or Gillette , which I think we should, we can extend and increase our brand. Adding as little as 5% of Boston or NYC markets to our current geography increases our value.

If the conferences are all moving to 16, the thought of taking Texas instead of Boise State should focus a few minds.

Why are the conferences all going to 16? The SEC, Pac 12 and Big 10 all have schools that left the Big 12 to get away from Texas.

Boren tells Bowlsby that a Longhorn branded B12 network isn't gonna fly. Says UT can keep the branding in their markets though.

And now ESPN is offering ACC an additional $45m per year on their contract with absence of ACCN. That's $3m per school.

@MH ver3 Again, the fact that the ACC is just an overlap of BIG and SEC, it is cheaper and better for ESPN to let ACC go bye bye.

MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
That still won't be enough to get an updated GOR according to my sources.
 
You might not need UCF or USF. If the B12 added UConn and Cincinnati/BYU and launched a network, that would more-than-likely seal the deal on an ACCN never launching. When the ACC disbands, UL, Clemson, Miami/FSU (whoever the SEC doesn't take) and someone else would go to the B12. Quick and easy way to get to 16 without being forced into adding fringe directional Florida schools with poor academics and mediocre athletics.

I know MH ver isn't a credible source but...

Does this remind anyone else of the Big East turning down the last ESPN offer? We all know what happened next.

I can envision FSU and Clemson leading charge to turn down the offer replete with the knowledge that they'll have a soft landing if the whole s.h.i.t house goes up in flames.

This has to happen first. I don't believe for a second that anyone is leaving the ACC for the Big 12 without a Big 12 network firmly in place.

All that being said, the lack of an ACC Network is very telling.

Completely agree. In my opinion, there is only enough interest (and dollars) to launch 1 more conference network. The B12 and ACC are in a race of sorts. If the B12 is smart and adds schools based on markets (UConn plus either Cinci or BYU) and can launch their B12N first, then they will be the prime soft landing spot for schools like Clemson, Louisville, Miami/FSU, etc. Then the B12 can really boost its football profile with those additions, in addition to penetrating FL recruiting without having to add any lightweight directional FL schools.

This guy has to be trolling us now. He puts one tweet that is good news for UConn with 3 ACC Apocalypse tweets that are total fantasies.

FSU's athletic department revenue ($121.3 million) is already more than any in the Big 12 save Oklahoma and Texas...Do you think a bump of $6-$10 million (5-9%) is enough to entice a program to leave its rivalries. play west of the Mississippi, out of the alumni footprint, and away from the east coast recruiting areas?

Yeah, I can't imagine that FSU would find Texas recruiting appealing at all.

In FSU's case, absolutely. Why would you leave $6-$10 million on the table for (arguably) better football, and Texas recruiting on top of that?
 
The ACC footprint that isn't shared with SEC or B1G (Virginia and North Carolina) is bigger than the B12 footprint that isn't shared with SEC or B1G (Oklahoma and Kansas).

If ESPN doesn't want to duplicate markets, then it seems natural to have the B1G and SEC raid Oklahoma, Kansas, Virginia, Va Tech, UNC, and Duke.

But then is there enough college content to go around to Fox sports network, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU? If networks go to the a la carte model the B1G is promoting, the major cable channels would have to pay up-to-date market rates for all content. It is probably easier to keep the house conferences (B12, ACC, AAC) around.

If east coast recruiting is important, just bring a few more ACC schools along with you.

Again...we have nothing to add. We would just refer you all to our Jan 3rd & Feb 15th tweets.
UC/UCONN to Big 12.

Let's say this...
Big 12 has to reform/expand/add CCG/..now...
...for it to survive past next contract.
East Coast Markets with $

Who are the available East Coast Markets with $?
UCONN.
Cincy
FLA - Orlando/Tampa.
ESPN not interested in B12N in FL....
UC/UCONN

We are here in the open...ready to be flamed if we are wrong.
We are not hiding.
We are not sending out different and confusing messages.

Our info comes from OU.
Through BTM
Confirmed by UCONN "people" on Jan 1st...and again on Feb 15th.
We stand by our declaration
UC/UCONN
 
I like his posts. But he needs a map if he's going to claim Cincinnati is an "East Coast" market.
 
NYUConn said:
Maybe he means east coast timezone?

He probably does. They're in the time zone. That is about the only way they're considered Eastern, because they're like quintessentially Midwest.
