Message: [QUOTE="The Funster, post: 1547638, member: 831"] I think the B1G voted against the ACC dereg proposal because they thought that if the ACC could get 3 five team pods for FB then they would invite UConn and get a bigger foot in NYC. I also think that the B1G was betting that the Big 12 would decide not to expand because they got what they had wanted out of the CCG drereg proposal. However I also think The B1G was hedging that bet with three factors: 1) that the Big 12 was likely to implode if it didn't expand, b) if the Big 12 did expand it wasn't likely to take UConn or iii) if the Big 12 did take UConn, the B1G could just pluck it 10 years down the road anyways. The primary thought being that the B1G likes UConn but needs someone to partner with them and if UConn did go to the ACC, they may not want to leave. That being said, UConn has to take the first bona fide offer it can get its hands on and it sure loks like that will be from the Big 12. [/QUOTE]
