Simple fix for the Big 10!

How did Notre Dame womens bb get into the ACC without men's football?

Notre Dame made a deal to be in the ACC for all sports(except fball and hockey) and in exchange they play five ACC schools a year starting in 2014, with every ACC team facing Notre Dame at least once in a three-year period. ACC wanted a bunch of marque games for fball, b/c even when ND sucks like this year, they get good ratings and big crowds in fball. ACC deal guarantees ACC more nationally televise games, thus raises the value of the conference tv deal. ACC would love to have ND in fball officially, but ND sees no need at this time. There is a very smart clause in the deal that if ND joins a conference during the arrangement it must be the ACC. The ACC just extended the deal thru 2035-36 with Grant of rights and ND signed on b/c they are in for other sports.

ND wanted to keep the rest of their sports in a P5 conference, they weren't going to go with the the rest of the Big East or AAC leftovers. ND gets more regular trips/access to the southeast(ACC country) which is a hotbed of recruits in many sports. ND schedules with a purpose in fball they make sure to get to Tx. CA, FL to recruit. They service some of their larger alumni bases by having having game in Boston, NYC, Phila, etc..

Seems like an arse hole to me. I wonder which BC fan that was kicked off the CR board he is.

Sorry you don't like the facts! Not a BC fan , but unlike UConn they found a home in a P5.

Fact Alert! Sorry they hurt!

Who are you a fan of?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Who are you a fan of?

If it's not BC it's probably somewhere like Syracuse. For whatever reason this board attracts ACC trolls like none other - especially on the CR board where they come to rub it in that we're stuck in the AAC. Guess it's jealousy that there are mid-major schools like ours that are far better than every one of the teams in their league when it comes to their supposed premier sport.

LOL. You people can't refute facts so to distract from the facts you don't like, you start obsessing over something like what team someone is a fan of? Btw, the delusion and arrogance is hilarious. UConn would give their lives to be in the ACC or any other P5. NOBODY WANTED THEM EVEN WITH BEGGING!!!! THOSE ARE THE FACTS! Finally, you do know the ACC's premier sport is mens bball.

Yes we know what the ACC premier sport is, did you miss the point in the sentence?

 

[CocoHusky]

Disagree regarding market. The Hartford/New Haven DMA is @ the 30th largest in the nation, is biggest target not already in the P5.

What about Huston?

Name one ACC program better than UConn in basketball? You know that sport upon which the ACC hangs its hat? I count 14 UConn basketball titles in the last 20 seasons.

OMG are you really that delusional? ACC'S PREMIER SPORT IS MENS BBALL! That's what they "hang there hat" on and you idiot. UNC and Duke are miles ahead of UConn in Mens BBALL.... THE THING THE ACC HANGS IT'S HAT ON!

Don't bother with your so called "facts," I was on a roll...

Yeah, you're right although I consider Texas mostly divided between Texas, Texas A&M with a smattering of Baylor, TCU, and Texas Tech thrown in. Houston isn't the top option in their own market, IIRC.

Don't get it twisted, for conference realignment purposes a single ACC Football National Championship like say FSU in 2013 would easily trump all 14 UConn basketball titles.

Easy with the name calling. Get's in the way of having a good discussion. Moderators are plenty busy.

4 titles for UConn in the past 20 years. How many for Duke or UNC?

Both Duke and UNC have more Men's National Championships than UCONN. But I see why you would want to limit it to the last 20 years though and also choose to post this on the UCONN WBB board.

I don't care what teams did before I was born. Could do without your sarcasm though.

You are absolutely delusional and/or an idiot if you think UConn mens bball is any where near Duke or UNC. I bet you're so delusional you think UConn MBBall is better than KY and Kansas too... You must be a child or are completely ignorant of the game and history. You're the typical ignorant blowhard with no perspective.

History lesson. Final 4's MBBall
UNC 19
KY 17
Duke 16
Kansas 14
UConn 5

Learn about the game before making stupid statements on the prestige of programs.

@Schoup stop with the name calling you are going to get us shut down. Your points are even stronger without the name calling.

If 20 years is too short a time frame, let's go back 40 years for championships.
Duke -5
UConn - 4
UNC - 4
UK - 4
Indiana - 3
Louisville - 3
Kansas - 2

There's a few caveats if you go back too far, y'know. First, you'd have to include UCLA, and they'd blow everybody out for championships. If you go back even another half-dozen years, you have to consider what effects racial discrimination had on championship success (UK didn't have a black player until Tom Payne in, I believe, the 1970-71 season.) And, let's face it, when you're talking about a sport played by college kids - increasingly in this day and age, by college frosh and sophs who then go pro - then, going back 40 years isn't so much "history" as "ancient history".

UConn is johnny come lately programs. They are not in the ball park of these other programs. Also, their level of inconsistency is astonishing.

Great point @pinotbear. KY would have at least one more Championship if not for an enlightened coach Don Haskins of Texas Southern now UTEP. A Haskins team with 5 black starting players beat a KY squad with a guy named Pat Riley to win an NCAA championship in 1966 as depicted in the movie Glory Road.

What team somebody cheers for is irrelevant to the points made. But, it irks you b/c since you couldn't refute the points and didn't like the truth. You only want to know the info so you can try to attack that team b/c you lost on the facts. Classic tactics of mental inferior people, distraction attempts. Now run along and leave discussions like this to people versed on the facts.

You are 5 years too late. We have been discussing all this on Conf Realignment board for ever. You are bring nothing new here. Go back to your moms basement and have a nice life.
