Non-Key Tweets


Well, assuming some jagoff insider mentions UConn...

I believe it's eight fulltime members plus Notre Dame. Suspect he's guessing Notre Dame affiliates in some form or fashion elsewhere and then something like the following:

Likely Big Ten or SEC
North Carolina
Clemson
Florida State

Probable Big Ten or SEC
Miami
Virginia

Likely Big 12
Louisville
NC State
Virginia Tech

FWIW, I disagree with much of his take. Adding a third school from North Carolina seems especially unlikely. And if they did, why App State over ECU?
none of those teams are leaving to the Big 12, lateral move competition and financially, they'll add a few teams then leave it at there
 
Time to bring out the Charlie Brown gif ;)
Nobody's bought into it, yet, at least. It seems like Connecticut fans collective reaction is like a mom's reaction to toddler asking the same question 1000 times.
 

If the Big XII took six from the ACC it would be a pretty smart play. You remove your competition to free up more dollars for your member schools, protect your conference long term, and can go to a true two division/conference setup which would give you more potential playoff teams.

The only way this would be good for us is if six teams go from the ACC and UNC is not one of those six. UNC goes to the B1G and somehow Utah gets invited to keep the numbers even. Then there's one more spot in the Big XII
 
If Clemson and FSU exit fees are as big as expected, anyone leaving the ACC would be looking at a huge expense, both in their own exit fees and foregone exit fees from other schools. The SEC and Big 10 may justify that kind of expense, but I don’t see joining the Big 12 justifying that kind of expense.
 
Listening to Greg Flugaur, apparently Josh Pate said that he's hearing that something will happen by the end of this week. On twitter, Josh Pate said it was contraction, not expansion.

This is a good point.

So does that mean FSU and Clemson leave the ACC and become Indy until they can get an invite somewhere? ACC condenses and nobody else expands
 
Warchant's Owner/Publisher made a statement today when queried about all of the twitterati and their differing inside sources...

Nothing has changed since FSU filed its suit vs. the ACC. As such, there's nothing to comment on. My understanding is that FSU has an informal invite to the B1G. But until there's some clarification with the litigation, or until a settlement is forthcoming, I don't expect any relevant info. to come out.

Frankly, I don't buy any recent "info leaks" because there's nothing to leak. The few at the top making decisions certainly aren't going to give the scoop to so-called insiders while there's litigation pending.

Trust me, if there were even somewhat viable rumors to run with we'd be all over it. We could have made a killing racking up subs and clicks if we put out all the FSU conference garbage that's been on social media the past year.
