Tru Tv going down swinging!!!

These seems like content that normally ends up on CBSsn. Might be getting lonely on that channel.

Now I’m leaning back towards a basketball only invite. He doesn’t elaborate well on this viewpoint

Unless something’s changed among many other things with the NCAA, “a basketball only invite” is not possible. As long as UConn remains a member of the Big East and it continues operating basketball competition, UConn cannot opt out for just hoops. An unlikely football-only option might work, because it’s currently not a BE sport.

A scheduling agreement for Football only with ACC maybe better than UConn’s current situation in football. What does that mean? UConn will play 6 games per year against ACC? Maybe UConn can then negotiate a higher TV football contract.

When people say "basketball only", I think it's understood that they mean basketball and other sports (except for football and hockey), like what Notre Dame has with the ACC.

If it is that type of deal and UConn it then matters what they are willing to pay UConn. It maybe worth it if it is significant amount over the Big East contract. Also football will have a P4 schedule. UConn then should be able to negotiate a larger amount for their Football TV contract.

 

[CL82]

Hmm, is that a better or worse deal than our CBSSN deal?

 

[KryHavok]

Told you guys Tulane and USF would blow past us.

Come on Zoo, given our luck, Slippery Rock University gets an ACC invite over UConn, ya know, to give Pitt a local travel partner. Sucks that we're hedging our bets to seek an invite from a conference that clearly doesn't want us.

Dude, he actually proposed that the ACC would make a football-only alliance with UConn. That’s like purchasing a text only version of Playboy.

Clemson...LOL....uhhh...Well ACC/ESPN...no..nada..nein

Or in American vernacular...go pound sand

 

[Waquoit]

That'll show 'em!

BIG here we come!

All I can say is that reprisals can be brutal when you go against ESPN and your conference.

Officiating will be interesting to watch this season,,,bowl selections, CFP rankings...how many prime time slots played, how many games on ACCN...

Kind of like when you sue to get out of said conference?

 

[KryHavok]

So Clemson, which presumably wants to go the SEC that is secured by a lucrative ESPN contract, refuses to play on Black Friday thereby impacting ESPN's potential to earn more revenue from ads played during an ACC-SEC matchup at the start of the holiday shopping season? Right, got it, Clemson wants to bite the hand that it wants to feed it more. That is a good thinkin'!

Hmm, the crazies never stop.... ?

Out of the box thinking. It may not be that bad an idea given ND can pretty much do whatever it wants and ND will make money no matter what. The ACC may implode. ND basketball may (or may not) be more successful in the Big East. ND probably won't join the B1G. And it would be good for the Big East. I'll entertain the idea.

Regarding Clemson vs. USC. I can see why both schools would insist on playing on Saturday rather than Friday night. It's an all day event for all South Carolinians.

If Notre Dame could get back to being decent at basketball, having Xavier, Butler, NDU and Marquette all in the Midwest makes for some compelling match ups. DePaul will of course continue to suck.

Unless they already have received the third party/back channel wink and nod from the B1G.

Not going to happen but I would be in favor. Beats a lot of the alternative additions!
