From an academic viewpoint, BC's admissions rate (undergrad) is lower and its incoming freshman scores are higher than BU. BC's law, nursing and education program are better than BU's. BC also gets a bump in the numbers because it becomes 'the' school to go to for many of the old-school catholic families and catholic HS's in the region (BC High, Catholic Memorial, St. John's, Xavier, Madlen Catholic, etc.). BU has a medical, engineering, and bunch of other STEM oriented programs that BC does not have. BU's communications school is also very well respected. BU's business school, which I went to for my MBA part-time, is better than BC. BU also draws kids who want an urban school (like NYC) while BC has more of a campus like setting. They are both as expensive as heck. Thus, from an academic standpoint, its a wash as they are two somewhat different animals. BU is more like Northeastern, another big urban STEM school, while BC is closer to Holy Cross as both lean liberal arts.

I am telling you right now that in the Carnegies the BU depts in liberal arts and social sciences just blow BCs out of the water. This is probably a measure of where faculty would rather teach. Better faculty at BU. So... it's no surprise the higher test scores are at BC, because they have 1/3rd as many students. But BU has more productive faculty.

This will be my last set of tweets for at least a month. Getting threatened with legal action from the B10 conference

I guess free information isn't free after all

I have a friend who sent multiple FOIA's to B10 offices and UNC and UVA.

A week later I get a letter from an Attorney on retainer from the conf nicely threatening me to stop talking about them on Twitter

For real?

So I am enlisting a couple of friends who are attorneys and they advised me to stop talking about it for at least 30 days.

I made the mistake of not hiding my identity very well in the beginning. Too many know my real name/Facebook/email.

I shall return!

What a load of crap.

You're on a non-key tweet thread living and dying on the words of a dude from West Virginia. BU v. BC is infinitely more relevant.

Actually, not bad.

He took a conference that was in a death battle and secured the future for a decade and a half....secured a place in the P5, secured all kinds of exposure on ESPN platforms, and has had national championships in football, basketball, baseball, soccer, and lacrosse in the last several seasons.

Now...going north was a mistake, I'll grant you.

Going north was definitely not a mistake ... if it had resulted in the desired results ...

Poster A says a topic about BCU is more relevant than the topic that was at hand.

Poster B says Swofford thought BCU was relevant too and insinuates that he- meaning Swofford- was wrong.

BillyBob or whoever you are, in an attempt at counter-pointing a poster saying things haven't worked out well for Swofford in respect to his decision to take BCU, says things have worked out well for Swofford and highlights all the accomplishments of the ACC since BCU joined. Then, in his very next sentence, tells us "going north" was a mistake, even though he just ran down a list of things the league has accomplished since "going north."

Do you now see why we think you're delusional?

He's referring to the fact that the ACC thought it invited Boston University instead of Boston College.

Big Ten is not expanding anytime soon because schools they would expand with are tied to a GOR....not available at this time. Period.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
Big Ten is very very interested in OU/KU if B12 implodes (half of B12 leaves Conf same time) and interested in VA/VATECH when GOR ends..

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
But none of those scenarios are in play now.... GOR's are real. ACC GOR is real...not tied to ACCN creation.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
Boren is honestly trying to save the B12 There is your story. All other stuff is pure fantasy. No..FSU/Clemson not going to B12

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
To save B12 Boren is trying to "thread the needle" UC/UCONN...increase footprint...create B12N with value. Get FOX/ESPN on board.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 1h1 hour ago
So no...the Big Ten has not told me to shut up

Barrett Johnson ‏@bjohnson32806 1h1 hour ago
@flugempire What about being preemptive and enter FL with UCF/USF? If you want tv markets and recruiting.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 54m54 minutes ago
@bjohnson32806 ESPN does not want a B12N in FL...does not want FIX tier 1 P5 content to be in FL.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 43m43 minutes ago
@Genetics56 @NebGradDubDub @TexasRoundball @theDudeofWV Indirectly...yes OU and B1G have talked...are talking...indirectly.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 42m42 minutes ago
@Genetics56 @NebGradDubDub @TexasRoundball @theDudeofWV But OU is not going to break the B12 GOR without total internal B12 implosion.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 41m41 minutes ago
@Genetics56 @NebGradDubDub @TexasRoundball @theDudeofWV B12 GOR is real. ACC GOR is real.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire 38m38 minutes ago
@Genetics56 @NebGradDubDub @TexasRoundball @theDudeofWV OU and B1G have a shared interest with each other. No doubt.

Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV 49s49 seconds ago
Why would the B1G threaten a lawsuit against anyone spewing fiction on Twitter? Think about that....
 
"Why would the B1G threaten a lawsuit against anyone spewing fiction on Twitter?" Um, pretty sure that happens often enough to have a specific term attached to it--libel. I'm sure it's true that OU and B1G have at least talked a little bit, but that last comment by Dude of WV made me laugh

No. Posting internet rumors about realignment - even if totally made up -- would not give someone a cause for action for libel. No real lawyer wrote MHV a letter telling him he couldn't write his silly crap.
 
MH ver3 ‏@MH ver3 16h16 hours ago
I have a friend who sent multiple FOIA's to B10 offices and UNC and UVA.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 4h4 hours ago
@MH ver3 you FOIA'd a private entity? Is that what you're saying here?

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Source: Contrary to recent myth and legend, UCONN would not be #11 or #12 in B12 expansion. Geography being the only, but major, factor.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Look for the B12 to expand by 2 with announcement pre-June. The two additions would join for 2017 season. B12 to help some w exit fees.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Step 2 is to establish B12 net by 2017 via ESPN. Step 3 is championship game by 2017 season.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
These three things must happen before planB can commence. But the two additions will be added in a way that doesn't sting if B falls through

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Im told the following. Cincy is #11. Memphis is most likely #12.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
Plan B happens with the death of ACC network Pipe dream. FSU, Clemson, Miami, BYU would be 13-16.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
BYU is likely a better candidate at 11/12 but they know they can get them later.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
#11 and #12 will be added to satisfy first 3 immediate needs while striking a blow to ACC expansion possibilities.

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa BYU over say Louisville, Pitt or GT?

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 2h2 hours ago
@geoffmitchell because everyone is rushing to watch Pitt and GT on TV??

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa network would value cable homes of Georgia and Penn. BYU quality product but administrative headache

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell Tech would be target of B10..albeit Rutgers 2.0. Pitt? Good luck

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 1h1 hour ago
@PromiscuousJawa I want Pitt as much as I want herpes. But B10 research dollars have some weird continuous state clause.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell yes. Which is why they would add UVA, DUKE, UNC to get there.

Geoffrey Mitchell ‏@geoffmitchell 1h1 hour ago
@PromiscuousJawa I'm so dumb I forgot NC touched GA!

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@geoffmitchell the SEC would fight for UNC. The belief is that UNC-Duke are a pair and wouldn't split. SEC wouldn't have room at 16.

Martin borg ‏@Martyaborg 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa I do have a hard time understanding why ESPN would give the big 12 their network only to allow it to destroy the ACC?

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@Martyaborg part of back door dealin in the B10 Negotiations? Not hard to fathom at all.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@Martyaborg I guess I better be quiet there before I'm "threatened into silence"

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
ND has the power to stop the entire thing and derail it all. If they want to give up 1 legacy rivalry to get the ACC to 16 without pods.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
Without ND there is no ACC network

Martin borg ‏@Martyaborg 2h2 hours ago
@PromiscuousJawa sorry just saw you answer on BYU

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@Martyaborg realize BYU could be knocked out by ND or UofL. It isn't set in stone

Mostly 'lsi M ‏@ki676love 1h1 hour ago
@PromiscuousJawa @Martyaborg tell those whoever "told" you to stop smoking crack. No way anyone leaves a stronger ACC for an unstable B12.

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 1h1 hour ago
@ki676love @Martyaborg would they leave for a stronger B10/SEC? Yes. ACC would crumble.

Mostly 'lsi M ‏@ki676love 58m58 minutes ago
@PromiscuousJawa @Martyaborg Memphis isn't good enough in football or academics for B1G10. Football isn't good enough for SEC either

Utini ‏@PromiscuousJawa 56m56 minutes ago
@ki676love @Martyaborg you obviously cannot read

Mostly 'lsi M ‏@ki676love 29m29 minutes ago
@PromiscuousJawa @Martyaborg yeah mixed them up. Louisville needs a partner or divisions will be uneven in SEC or B1G10 & don't add much


ME: Looks like Utini is trying to fill MH ver3's shoes. :P :D
 
That's the guy who blocks everyone who asks him questions, right?

The idea that adding Cincinnati and Memphis to the Big 12 gets them a network is... well, it's perfectly at home in this thread.
