OT: Realignment?

Except make millions more for there athletic departments. That was always the goal of conference realignment, not rivalries or on the field product.

I am aware of that. But to say the ACC had more lucrative markets than the old Big East is backwards. In other words, the Big East was underpaid.

Ironically, isn't the ACC unaligned? Of course, but the Big East would have been a better option for some schools that left for the ACC. Poor management definitely was an issue to some extent. Needed to be more proactive. Should have separated basketball schools from all sports schools quicker. That model was designed to fail.

Either way, it is what it is.

A strong conference based in the northeast should not have paid less than the ACC. Something doesn't add up. It's not as if the ACC gained much by adding whatever schools poached.

Ironically, looks like Cuse, BC and UL, at least, are now in a dead end, conference-wise.

UL was in the AAC if they didn’t go.
How was that a dumb move because we would have grabbed that lifeline all day long.

Hey guys, I have read this board for 10 years, but I just posted my 1st message yesterday, so go easy on me.
Here's my platform. I am a huge UConn fan, for all of their sports, including, but not limited to, women's field hockey. But here are my 3 gripes: They're not in a Power 4 conference (yet), no on campus football stadium, and no men's lacrosse team.
Looking at the big picture, I am a huge public school fan, except those named after a city (UL, Cincinnati, Memphis, Houston, Pittsburgh)
And I would love to see all of the private schools get dropped from the Power 4 and focus on education. That probably won't happen for the 5 big guys (ND, USC, Stanford, Dukeand Miami). But I'm hoping that the 7 small ones get dropped (NW, Vandy, BC, WF, Cuse) and may have already (BU and TCU).
 
The move to football dominance by the SEC can be countered by the Alliance. They can remove the SEC from future schedules in all sports and schedule with all other teams and conferences to make up for it. The NCAA is on life support with the TX and OK move. So let them be there own league playing only themselves in all sports. Coaches will be fired rapidly as they have losing records at former powerhouses. Miss and Miss St and Ark will never win in football. Vanderbilt and TX A&M won't either. They will be cannon fodder. Most fans in the rest of the country not made up of the old confederacy will watch the games for their area teams. Let the SEC hold it's own playoff and the rest of the country can have an open playoff. Screw em! And then you have the rest of the sports holding their own tourneys while the SEC just plays themselves.

Nice post.

Others on this board are far more knowledgeable on UConn specific issues, and I literally know nothing about the plausibility of adding men's lacrosse. I can opine as an interested/supportive state resident that a number of factors, including the university's relationship with Pratt Whitney, make me doubt that an on campus football stadium is in the cards. Lastly, I suspect the best (though still unlikely) hope of attracting future power conference interest is for UConn to maintain its basketball traditions while somehow building a plucky, upstart football program.

Interesting.
Though seems to leave out revenue from conference networks?

Yeah...something else to consider....his chart illustrates the ACC as receiving $153 million in 2019...

But the total distributed was more than double that...

The ACC distributed a record $497.2 million for the 2019-20 financial year, the highest gross revenue ever reported for the league, according to tax documents released Friday. The revenue increased more than $42 million over the previous year -- thanks largely to its increased television and postseason bowl revenues.May 21, 2021

The chart is just media arrangements, not distributions from the NCAA for CFP, bowls, or March madness.,

Just shows the vast difference berween media payout and total payout...
