Bro is trying so hard it's kinda sad

This run ended really quickly. He usually takes a few days to be exposed.

Really crazy that the B1G and B12 will likely get 10+ teams each into the tourney per Rothstein. The Big East never got that many I don’t think, yet it was outrageously strong at its peak. Sure seems like the P4 are getting more “help” than ever.

2011 the Big East got 11 teams in.

lol. Thus my “I don’t think”. I was questioning it. I thought it was 9. Regardless, it seems these P3s are going to hit double digits often, if not every year (ACC excluded) . I’m not sure that bodes well for the future of the tournament as we know it. The more often the tourney is dominated start to finish by power schools, the less likely the powers that be are to recognize and protect what the mid majors bring to the tournament.

Sure looks like the Big East is cooked unless they can pull a rabbit out of a hat. It also looks like the ACC could really use UConn, but I’m not sure I even want to go there. It’s an awful league and it is going to get worse.

Remember, via consolidation the BB power conferences are larger than ever (excluding the BE).

aka one of the reasons I don't buy it when someone says we had to win that Big East Tournament to make it into the NCAAs. That and the resultant 3 seed.

Honestly, would ESPN/the ACC just let Notre Dame out of their deal with the conference? Their non-football sports don't bring any media revenue to the table. Is 2.5 home football games a year against mediocre ACC teams worth the drama and ~$17mil payout? Just let them walk

Yeah. I think we had to make it to the semifinals.

To ESPN yes. The ratings on the home games make a material increase in the value of the deal. Because it impacts the value of the TV deal, that's what makes the $17M payout worth it to the ACC.

Big East had 11.

Big East also had 3 of Final 4 teams in 1985 which I think is a better measure.

Like what he says but BE doesn’t have $’s to throw at ND.
I read ND gets $17M from ACC for non FB. BE isn’t covering that.

ND non FB should be worth less than UConn.

A lot of love for Connecticut, justifiably, and a lot of talk about how we are likely to be poached eventually from the big east.

Yeah but like.... don't talking heads say that every time there's a big wave of CR and we're supposedly in the thick of it?

How many consultants does the B12 need to hire before the “UConn makes you money” argument finally works?

 

[Hoophound]

He probably just remembers Redbird going to bat for us. It doesn’t mean much because Redbird’s thoughts may have changed when the 4 Corners joined. However, access to the northeast market has got to matter to these guys because they are based in NYC. We already know it matters to Yormark. This may be something that actually gets legs.

Flugar has been on top of this since the beginning way before others ... 39 min mark says contrary to original goal and want of CT door is shut for now on UConn big12. Rule #1

Holy hell, these guys are like fingernails on a blackboard. Could they say less with more words? Particularly our old friend Flugaur. Is Gygax Mhver?

Like.... Gary Gygax?

I don’t think the B12 would let anything about UConn leak if it is part of this PE deal. That could trigger the ACC to act and they wouldn’t want that. Doesn’t really mean anything just yet.

How old is this thing. They are still talking about the ACC litigation with Florida State and Clemson.

That was from 9 months ago when they started talking about UConn and private equity companies.
