Let's hope UConn gets an invite soon!

Hope is not a plan. Sadly, i think it is what suffices as a plan for the UConn decision makers.

It appears the current UConn leadership realizes that a boost in UConn's conference affiliation will help the university directly or indirectly on many fronts. It would be easier for them if the football team was not just poking its head out of a dumpster again. Let's all hope, I use the word again, football gets six wins this season.

This guy doesn’t just make stuff up like a lot of realignment people on twitter. I personally would sign up for this in a heartbeat.

lol..he absolutely makes stuff up.

He has no clue what he’s talking about - none of this is happening.

Deion is coaching for more than familial reasons or for the money. Ego and challenge are big parts of it. I suspect he'll hang around CU-Boulder for a few years until an offer comes either from FSU or one of the P2 schools. The size of a buyout would be substantial. Until greener pastures come calling, Boulder is a really attractive place to hang one's hat.

I doubt he ever takes the FSU job. I think he stays in Boulder for 4 - 5 years before leaving for a program like Miami or Texas.

I think the end game for him will be an NFL job down the line.

Terrible nfl hire. His edge isn’t tactical. It is charismatic. He can acquire talent and dna also become the dave of the program. That is his main value as a coach.

That is irrelevant in the nfl.

Yes, and he has no interest. I think he likes coaching in college.

Is it me or has autocorrect gotten worse over time? Lol.

I don’t think he needs the money.

But the ego boost of winning a Super Bowl is too tempting.

Its not about needing the money. I don't think, guys like Urban or Matt Rhule needing the money, its about the money being too good to pass up, and the challenge of "can i do this". I'd put Lane Kiffin in there as well.

The decision to expand is going to be made with their "broadcast partners". Once again, our fate is in the hands of ESPN.

Sooo, we're gonna get shafted again. I'm so glad Italian soccer moved from ESPN+ to Paramount+ so that I don't have to give those scumbags and more dough.

so he has fsu, clemson, unc, louisville and VT leaving? backfilling with UConn and USF. i assume he meant to list wake instead of cuse a second time. but who's taking lville and VT over miami and virginia??

if this is an academic play it has to be tulane or rice over USF.

Maybe FSU, Clemson, UNC, and Va Tech leaving, UConn and USF to backfill, and Louisville getting sent back to Conference USA for not meeting the new "Ivy League" academic standards.

Do the Louisville students know what the Ivy League is?

Louisville is currently a top 25 undefeated FBS football program - Pretty impressive turnaround

The new ACC won't care about that. They're competing with Princeton.

Never been a fan of the UConn being associated with the Louisville's (or the Tulsa's, Memphis', East Carolina's, Wichita State's) of the world.

Didn't the Big East already try football? Remind me how that worked out?

Yes, and it was spectacular! UConn made the Fiesta Bowl coming out of the Big East! Past winners included UConn, Miami, West Virginia, Cincy, Louisville, Virginia Tech, Pitt, Rutgers, Syracuse. Heck even BCU had some success.

 

[billybud]

Miami and VT won 9 of the 12 championships before they jumped ship to the ACC.

That 2010 Fiesta Bowl season came down to the final game... USF-UConn. If the Huskies beat USF they would go to the Fiesta, owning the tiebreaker in the three way 1st place tie. The FG with 59 seconds on the clock put UConn up by 3.

A great game that I did not see.

This is a common narrative. Business history is full of small parochial companies that stayed independent as long as they could. Eventually, circumstances change for various reasons, usually economic and desperation leads to change.

Big 10 takes UNC… SEC takes NC State
