UConn to Big XII Imminent?

[FfldCntyFan]

Based on what I have read, the GORs is tied to the ESPN contract, so if ESPN doesn't extend the ACC contract, it is possible there are no more GORs. As for exit fee, it depends how many spots are available in the Big 10, SEC, and Big 12 for ACC schools. It could be possible that the ACC could dissolve if enough schools have landing spots.

Depending on how ND's status is is determined in the voting, either thirteen (75% of 17 is 12.75) or fourteen (75% of 18 is 13.5) current ACC members would need to vote to dissolve the conference. Please spell out how that many schools would be assured a new home that would be at worst equivalent to what the remaining ACC (with likely half a billion dollars in exit fees).

Best case scenario (which almost assuredly would require ND leaving for the B1G, which will not happen until ND has no choice but to give up independence) would be six schools land in the B1G/SEC. Another seven or eight would require a spot in the B-12. Do you really believe that the B-12 would potentially grow to 24-26 members?

Sir, this is not the Non Key Tweets thread.

Also I can't think of a person on Twitter that has less credibility.

Don't believe this fool!

Maybe we should rename it the UnCivil ConFLiCT

Or, alternatively, maybe we should just never speak of it again?

It will be laughed about on TV every time we play UCF. Thanks, Bob.

Yormark hasn't made his presentation to the Big 12 Presidents yet.

He's also claiming that FSU, Clemson, and UConn are all in play for the B12

I have said it before, but until there is a glitch in the Matrix, UConn football is the most groundhog day program ever in every sense. This hit piece and dubious leak of not having the votes is like clockwork with how our realignment chances play out every time....

UConn to power conference gets leaked initially > BBall board has meltdown> football skeptical but cautiously optimistic > major outlets pick up on it > Power conference talking heads baffled and mostly against > talking heads hit piece articles and podcasts start > leaks UConn no longer considered > Power conference. Sorry but not sorry > Charlie Brown gif spammed across BY > 1 to 2 years later repeat.

ESPN way too early preseason basketball rankings- 1. Kansas 3. Uconn 4. Houston 6. Baylor 7. Iowa State 9. Arizona

Adding UConn and making you far and away the best basketball conference in the country makes a ton of sense.

 

[B1GEast]

Do we even have this conversation without winning back to back?

Winning changes everything.

Could be. I doubt that FSU or Clemson were in the original plans, but neither the B1G (non-AAU) or SEC (don't need 'em) will take them.

While the Big 12 is the already the best basketball conference, the addition of a second "blue blood" and one outside of the region will provide a ton of prestige (especially for the casuals).

I’ve been saying for some time, the ACC being raided/dissolved is increasingly unlikely even with FSU and Clemson throwing their public tantrum.

 

[Slasher]

I'm sorry but there's no way Yormark wants to add OSU and WSU when they're available at any point. You definitely wait to see what happens with UConn and the ACC first before you add two far flung west coast schools.

If the B12 is imminent shouldn't there be a UConn BoT meeting also on deck? I haven't heard about one
