Non-Key Tweets

I know this Board had a lot of Susan Herbst super fans, but how much has being on the wrong side of conference realignment cost CT tax payers? What is the economic impact for playing in front of 18K instead of 40K? How much would hotels, restaurants, etc benefit from playing schools that actually travel to see their team play? The numbers have to be staggering. So yes, the UConn administration, Trustees, politicians all deserve to be held accountable for being one of just 2 schools being left behind. BTW, if ACC implodes, you’re kidding yourselves if you think we will be the first call. If anything, the Big 12 going west, only increases the chances of the ACC stealing WVU and maybe Cincinnati. USF will be ahead of us too.

The numbers are a couple of million, if that. Sports are not an economic driver.

Some mild vibes out there that the PAC 9 will survive.

Did everyone vote on this Non-key poll?

Lol the Big 12 fanbases absolutely despise Utah and their fans because of their "holier than thou" attitude towards the Big 12 and yet they're STILL winning over us in that poll. It's over boys, we're doomed.
 
the only positive is in 10 years, maybe the ACC can get WV/Cinn/UCF and us to join...

I hate how conferences base their realignment decisions off of tweets and Twitter polls.

Let's be honest, these Big 12 presidents are a bunch of "muh football" stooges in middle America. This decision will be as simple as

"Does Utah have considerably better football than UConn?"
"Absolutely"
"Alright, let's grab em!"

Not much new here. I think if people keep going with same story, it must be true

Yeah all those SI sites just regurgitate everything that’s out there and some of it isn’t sourced.

In ten years, and maybe even sooner, the ACC as we know it will be the ACC in name only. All of today's more valuable members will be locking the gates behind them in greener pastures -- some to the B1G, some to the SEC, and some to the B12.

Or maybe they say, "Is Utah AAU?"
"Absolutely."
"Alright, let's grab 'em."

I will say that 16 teams is a good time to go to 24 as insane as that sounds... if 8 schools bolt at once, and I really doubt that, they're all headed to the big24.
