It’s just a gut feeling. I have nothing definitive on that end. I think our academics would be viewed positively. Just playing the hypothetical game. If the 3 new members are pro-UConn does that get us enough votes. Not entirely sure.

SMU, Stanford, and Cal have full voting rights. Notre Dame has no voting rights in football matters. 75% is the threshold for approving new members.

There is no reason for the ACC to expand. The only way that will happen is if ESPN gives them a green light. It seems like they will have to remain static for a while, and I suspect most of the members would still be against UConn. The addition of the west coast schools to the ACC will only add more no votes. The only hope for UConn in my opinion is the Big 12. They will truly become a coast to coast mega conference and all those schools will improve with the addition of UConn.
 
it's kind of annoying to see some of these videos say "we just need them to win 4-6 games basketball is great" like do you expect us to not try to compete for the Big 12 crown? none of these programs are all time great, some of them are teams we've competed with before and have played better than, we're here to win and make money we think we earned while doing it.

Private equity supposedly maximizes undervalued products. What product is more undervalued than UConn?

ESPN is not UConn’s friend. But it’s also looking like ESPN is no friend to the ACC anymore with reports that they can pull the plug on the contract in 2 years. Who knows, maybe ESPN wants to turn the ACC into something resembling the Old Big East if/when FSU, Clemson, UNC leave.

ESPN's only loyalty is to money.

It also unsympathetically cuts dead weight.... like WVU. I actually like WVU. It was a big school for NJ kids that didn't get accepted anywhere else when I was growing up, so I know a few alums. But, let's be honest. It's a terrible school with budget problems, in a very poor and sparsely populated state (shrinking population). I'm not sure WVU is making the PE cut.
 
I've said this before but to me the only thing I see private equity doing is the very screwball sports destroying things that fans don't want because it will be about maximizing the dollars taken out of your wallet. For instance no on screen (jumbotron, scoreboard) replays. You can view all replays on the phone app for 20 dollars a game.

I knew a few of these Jersey kids. They were hard partiers when I met them in the years immediately following college graduation. The girls were very “friendly”. A few nights with that crew and I was wondering why I never considered WVU.

It would be a disaster. Worse by far than it is now.

The only way we should consider it is if they can pull the strings to get us into the B1G.

Otherwise it’s like selling off pieces of the AD to some sociopaths who won’t always act in our best interests.

I will believe that PE actually wants to invest in a college athletic department the day the deal closes.
 
My guess is that Flug is claiming the ACC is planning clandestine meetings to determine their next move.

I personally don't see this as likely because that conference's hands are cuffed until the media rights extension is either officially picked up or officially dropped by ESPN.

Don't they have pro rata clause in their TV contract?

Not sure if it still applies. Stanford and Cal came in pro-rata. SMU came in receiving no media revenues but I'm not sure what the conference receives for them being in the conference.

Were less than a year removed from knowing if there media deal expires in two years or twelve. I don't know what sense it makes changing composition with that significant of a variable.
