We certainly didn't see Warde hang around for long, even after his strikeout with the ACC. AD Dave seems to be making strides here, so I would not be surprised to see him jump to be back in the P5 limelight. Don't trust anyone.

 

[CL82]

If AD Dave is reaching out to anyone, it will be to Auburn, Louisville, And Arizona to discuss who and where to send his resume to for the AD job opening.

Louisville? Why was it always his dream to manage a flaming pile of poo?

Auburn, on the other hand, scares me.

I don't see any scenario where Louisville gets booted from The ACC. It would open a door that I strongly suspect schools like UNC and Miami desire to remain closed. Louisville is going to receive stiff penalties. Vacated wins, scholarship losses, and post season bans will all be on the table. They may also face financial repercussions from The ACC as well. They won't receive the death penalty as it effects other conference members negatively in both scheduling and broadcasting.

The way their 2018 recruiting class is running for the doors, they've already gotten one, of a sort.

I don't see AD Dave making any move to a school involved with this fiasco, especially UL. Auburn may be a candidate depending on how deep they are with this stuff. It very well could be Pearl and staff going rogue and a simple clean house there would clear them. In that case, there's not much we can do if he wants that job.

I hear the ACC is very worried that the Louisville scandal is just beginning.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
The ACC has a genuine fear that UL's athletic program will devastated top to bottom in both money sports.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
This is very bad news for WVU potentially. Can anybody guess why despite the obvious GoR issue?

Bernardo4Real‏ @Bernardo4real Oct 7
Replying to @theDudeofWV
do we play them coming up?

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
No, if UL is devastated and given the death penalty in hoops & gets booted from ACC then ND gives them even # of members.

Julius Johnson‏ @JuliusJ85224635 Oct 7
ND is not giving up thief Independence in Football anytime soon. It's the Big 12 GOR which would keep us out of ACC if UL gets thrown out.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
I agree... the potential is there though and if UL gets booted the ACC would be at even members if ND joined.

There is a zero percent chance UL is kicked out of the conf. They will be penalized heavily, but not booted.

Bernardo4Real‏ @Bernardo4real Oct 7
I happen to like the big 12- I would like to stay.

I love the Big 12, but I miss Pitt, VT and Syracuse. Call me old skool.

Julius Johnson‏ @JuliusJ85224635 Oct 7
Big 12 GOR is our hurdle if ACC goes to uneven schools in next couple of years. ND has no interest.

Christopher Lambert‏ @theDudeofWV Oct 7
Replying to @JuliusJ85224635 @Bernardo4real
Big 12 GoR isn't a hurdle...it's an insurmountable barrier.

Julius Johnson‏ @JuliusJ85224635 Oct 7
Correct.

 

[SubZero]

The ACC has already told WVU multiple times they were not interested. WVU is just another Louisville except they haven't been caught yet.

I can sleep tonight. The moonshine is flowing again



Fans of Uconn, USF, UCF, BYU. Cincy, Houston fear not. You will not be left behind.

There have even been whispers that WVU could take Nebraskas spot in B10 in a settlement for both sides and keep B12 at 10 members for now.

Look, I think the landscape will change and the demise of cable will be a part of it but he's huffing if he still thinks that WVU is some kind kind of prized possession.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

His tweets made some sense until the Nebraska for WVU trade.

Put this in Key Tweets too. Does Rothstein even count? Who knows...

Holy catfish! The Pac12 could fold? Who'da thunk it!

 

[HuskyHawk]

MH ver3‏ @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
Every single school in Pac12 has already tried to negotiate a landing spot in the event the conference folds.

MH ver3‏ @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
AZ and ASU were the first to do so last year with the B12. It's what quelled expansion then.

MH ver3‏ @MH ver3 3h3 hours ago
B12 realized it didn't need to expand yet. It just needed to wait out the Pac12.

Holy catfish! The Pac12 could fold? Who'da thunk it!

The delusional ramblings of a lunatic mind.

Pac 12 isn't in the best shape of the conferences, but it is an island unto itself. It's secure. The challenges it has cannot be alleviated by changing conferences. That would make them worse. Their main issue is that people in their primary markets (LA and the SF Bay area) don't give a rat's ass about college sports. Or pro sports really in most cases.

I think Colorado would go to the B1G, if invited. Aside from that, the Pac 12 is going nowhere.

Being piss poor at geography like I am, I always think of Colorado as being further west. Seeing that it's contiguous via Nebraska is surprising to me. Not helping me is that they are in the PAC-12, and again it's hard to imagine a PAC-12 school that could also go B1G.
When we used to play Trivial Pursuit, Geography was always the hardest for me.

My UConn Georgraphy professor was from New Hampshire. He told us on day one that he was a unicorn, as people from New England were uniquely terrible at Geography. Since I was born in KS (though raised in CT), I don't seem to have that failing.

Boulder, CO to SLC (the next closest Pac School) is 521 miles by car. I've done it (at 101 mph most of the way). By way of comparison UConn to Penn State is just 363 miles.

 

[Husky25]

It's probably right around 521 miles by jet as well. Distance tends to be static.

 

[billybud]

No...distance as the crow flies can be very much different than distance by road......

Just have your GPS come up from GPS point to GPS point...check the miles...then have it pull up the actual route...the miles will be different...especially so here in the mountains where a place is 17.9 miles by crow fly and 51 by road.

Touche'. Looking at the Kessel run, it's at least 14 parsecs. But Han can make it in the Millennium Falcon travelling less than 12. Thanks for the clarification.
