The young lad is only 23 but he's receiving lots of comments. Generally more reasonable than the knuckleheads at their syracusefan site. They honestly believe the Big 12 is garbage and that the ACC will raid the Big 12.
Maybe they're talking about coaches salaries, maybe they're talking about an on-campus stadium, or maybe, just maybe, they're making meaningless sounds to justify the fact that they don't want to pay for a full share until the next contract negotiation happens in 2031.
I doubt that but we'll see if anything happens. Just don't want to be left at altar again
Unless we get into the Big Ten or the SEC, which we all know is not happening, I'll hate every freaking member of whatever conference we end up in for yanking our chain around so long. I will particularly savor beating their asses down annually.
At least we are being talked about. Hope Yormark and Endeavor get this over the goal line with the Big12.From our old pal's neck of wood:
Is ACC too stagnant with potential expansion regarding UConn reportedly to Big XII?
Is the ACC being to stagnant with a report from Ross Dellenger of Yahoo Sports that the Big XII is targeting Connecticut?caneswarning.com

The next step in ACC Expansion? Grab another basketball blue blood
UConn is looking at the wrong conference. Here’s how Jim Phillips can change their minds:
Wow, first Cuse and now Miami, this sounds like an alternate reality. How could this much friendly fire be coming at Uconn, LOL!
UConn needs to make one last phone call to the ACC this week.
Then they'll be waiting for a while. Unless FSU and Clemson bolt, which would cost hundreds of millions, it's not happening. ACC would need to dissolve.
yeah TCU and OK St. i think ASU and Utah will also be no's if/when an official vote is taken. cant afford any other no's from the other 12.
Maybe not Calhoun… just saying.
Haha I hear what you’re saying. But a week trip to Hawaii is a little different than going from Dallas to Storrs to Houston back to Storrs back to Kansas as a potential road trip.We can remedy that easily by refusing to attend tournaments like Phil Knight and Maui.
I don’t disagree that travel is a negative. But hopefully this is short term. It seems the media wants to contract the college sports landscape at the highest level so four contracts are better than five (bye bye PAC), three will be better than four (bye bye ACC).
The question is will they push it down to two contracts or stay at three? I believe three is easier to manipulate than two plus the BIG does not trust the SEC so they’ll want a partner. Additionally Yormark’s plan for a superior bb conference will keep the B12 viable long term.
With this scenario it will benefit the B12 conference to add teams from the ACC that are geographically better for UConn and negate this negative travel situation.
They don't have to have interest in us, but football and basketball are two different programs. And they do have basketball teams that would probably like to play us occasionally. Mens and women's.
The Big 12 stuff was in the works at the time. Fox wasn't unaware of this eventuality. In the long term this will help their football ratings in the northeast -- so a UConn move would not be all downside.Really wish B12 added UConn before the recent Big East deal.
Fox reportedly opposes UConn joining Big 12
