Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4036697, member: 11388"] MH ver3@MH ver3· 30m WVU may have a non-B12/non-Notre Dame partner joining the ACC with them as well. ACC gets a reopened contract. Even if WVU doesn’t “add value” as a brand (and they do) just the fact that the ACC gets to reopen their severely undervalued contract adds value to the conference. MH ver3@MH ver3· 36m Dammit @CoachWannstedt! Can’t keep a secret can you Face with tears of joy Face with tears of joy. Guess the cat is out of the bag. Joe D@Joehawk23· 32m You think that report has legs? As a KU fan I really hope so. MH ver3@MH ver3· 30m It’s exactly what I’ve been hearing minus his omission of 2 or the remaining 3 teams MH ver3@MH ver3· 36m You left out two schools that the PAC12 would be taking though. Movietime Blues@Movietime_Blues· 30m There's no way they'd take two schools from the central plains states and not touch the state of Texas. Is Houston a possibility? MH ver3@MH ver3· 31m They are taking TCU and Tech as well. MH ver3@MH ver3· 32m The Alliance is basically forcing TV partners-specifically ESPN to pony up the cash or risk losing the cash cow that is the CFB Playoffs. David Bailey@dreamhousewm· 31m I totally get it now. They are announcing the alliance before the teams get swallowed up by the other conferences so that people don't freak out about rivalries... like KU-Kstate. Is that right? MH ver3@MH ver3·29m Not really. The alliance is to force tv partners to pay them what they are worth, stymie some of the SECs momentum, and hold the CFB playoff hostage MH ver3@MH ver3· 28m Other schools I have heard that applied for Pac12 membership: UNLV, SDSU, BYU, Boise Mh ver3@MH ver3· 27m The Alliance protects Notre Dame’s status as independent. They are not joining any football conference but will remain associated with the ACC and now get full access to scheduling all of their traditional rivals (minus Navy). MH ver3@MH ver3·31m Baylor may be in the mix for the ACC with WVU but I’m hearing UCF or Cincy are possibilities as well. Jason Berman@jasonb56·28m TCU and TT might be left out of the musical chairs… and no way ACC takes another Florida school (UCF) but maybe Cincy MH ver3@MH ver3·27m I’ve heard the case for UCF and it’s compelling. Don’t have time to discuss but it involves Florida recruiting and the SEC if you can believe it. MH ver3@MH ver3·5m Replying to @calmkiller and @CoachWannstedt Luck was brought in to broker everything. There will unfortunately be a tiered buy in process for each of these schools that find a home. Managing the buyout monies from TX/OU will help soften the blow. Most likely we will let TXOU out of the conference after this year… Derek Nesselrodt @calmkille·29m Replying to @MH ver3 and @CoachWannstedt Why was Luck brought in if this is all already happening? MH ver3@MH ver3 ·5m …and then vote to dissolve the conference splitting all the spoils Chester Wilhelm McCuskey Jr. @Ziggurat001· 7m Replying to @MH ver3 When is the announcement??? MH ver3@MH ver3· 5m We are a ways off from this announcement. Too many unfinished business with TXOU [/QUOTE]
