Is the expectation is that there will be expansion again this summer? I know a lot has to happen with FSU/Clemson leaving the ACC which seems unlikely for now but was wondering what the general consensus was on expansion.

The General consensus is that the ACC and B12 will both expand with colleges or universities not named UConn or the University of Connecticut.

The general consensus is that once the lawsuits come to a head and the few current ACC schools that will have P-2 invitations depart, the ACC will add some schools (with the possibility of the B-12 doing so as well).

The consensus specific to this board is that when this happens those on this board will experience another figurative kick in the nuts when we are overlooked once again.

The ACC soiled its academic shorts when it admitted Louisville, and OSU and WSU are hardly better.

I think UConn and Tulane are academics, OSU and WSU are athletics since they have P5 gene.

The fact they were in Pac12 with Cal and Stanford shouldn’t hurt either.

Greg Flugar bases his information on what his news sources tell him. The news sources change their statements as conditions change. At one point, the B12 was looking seriously at adding UConn. That changed.

Absolutely, but he was clear from the beginning that things had to fall a certain way for UCONN to join the Big 12. He routinely said UCONN was a potential option after some others. Plus his main contacts are “money perch” sources, not media.

"News sources," as most use the term, are not usually those in the media but those somehow connected to a news event. Because he is a form of a news journalist, he checks in with these kind of sources, like any other journalist, to report the news to his audience.

"The ACC has vetted: Utah, Oregon St, Washington St, UCONN, San Diego St, and USF. One important topic besides TV $$ is how possible future expansion will affect the the relationship moving forward. ESPN is giving ACC very direct guidance (rubric like) thus allowing the ACC to keep Academics as one of their important metrics

UConn and USF. ACC could have taken OSU and WSU last year if they wanted. SDSU wasn’t even good enough for the PAC. Utah isn’t interested and is completely random.

They don't join until August 2nd.

The current PAC-12 media contract/grant of rights runs through the end of the day on August 1st.

The only P4 moves happening on July 1 are Texas and Oklahoma to the SEC and SMU to the ACC.

The PAC schools have to wait until August 2 to officially make the move to their respective new conferences.

Sir.

This is non key tweets thread. Of course it’s wrong.
 
I can‘t do this now. I just started a new job with a new company last week. Of course, sleep is optional When it comes to realignment.

Can we pull a TCU when the ACC only has Wake, BC, SMU, Stanford, Cal and Georgia Tech left over?

UConn
Memphis
Boston College
Wake Forest
Georgia Tech
SMU
Stanford
Cal
USF
Tulane

Yeah that's gonna be awesome. The fan base definitely won't revolt and Hurley will totally stick around

Yeah, this is awful, especially without duke, cuse, and pitt.

Probably for the best. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I've been shamed a dozen times now and I'm done. I check the realignment board periodically, but that's it. The ACC taking Stanford, Cal and SMU without so much of a mention of UConn was the sign to me. I've switched from the ever optimistic Charlie Brown, to the perpetually pessimistic Eeyore. I'm currently just assuming there are 10 crappy athletic programs ahead of us for each P4 conference.
