UConn's Latest Try For Power 5 Conference Fails

[weyuo]

Yes maybe 5 more fans will show up.

Hey, the AAC is still a young conference but they are nipping at the heels of the P-5. The more a Houston knocks off what at the beginning of the season was a predicted playoff contender in Oklahoma the better the whole league is perceived. Last year it was Temple taking down Penn St early in the season that gave the conference some added street cred. Next year maybe someone else. Bottom line is the league is heading in the right direction and UConn needs to hold up their end of the bargain which I think they will. I still believe the Huskies could end up 7-5 or better this year and win a bowl game. They need to get on a nice long winning streak and the seats will start filling up.

If ND joins the ACC, Navy or Cinn will be the 16th team. Temple and WVU would also be considered ahead of us. The southern schools want nothing to do with another New England team. We're just too close to BC and with BC being bad along with SU being bad in football, adding UConn will not help that situation. Cinn brings a new recruiting area and links ND closer to the ACC territory. Navy gets the ACC back into the DC area that they lost when Maryland left. Temple is in a huge TV market and WVU is an established football program with a strong following.

Zero chance. USC will block Clemson and UF block FSU.

Plus, why would FSU and Clemson want to deal with trying to get to the playoff from the SEC. ACC much easier path.

Best chance is sooner than 2024-25 ND wants to join ACC as full-time member so it can challenge for the Champ game knowing getting to playoff with being conf champion will get harder and we are their partner.

Let's see now, how about $$$$$$$. How much do SEC member schools make each season vs ACC schools?
What makes the world go around? $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I would ask you if you really believe this, but we've already established that you're not particularly bright . . .

ACC wasnt expanding.

Two schools leave, two join. My math classes in school were many years ago but I don't see that as "expansion".

 

[UCONN FB]

The Clemson and Florida State who signed a GOR until 2035 and have never had any conversations with the SEC?

HFD banned but this troll isn't?

Funny, Tuesday 10/18 on College Sports Channel /Sirius Radio Coach Rick Nueheisal (sp?) had lengthy commentary on Conference realignment including FSU and Clemson leaving ACC (hummmm) and the continued degrading position of the Big12 as a whole. He listed several Big12 member schools looking to bail out right now. But the basement dwellers in East Windsor and Norwich know more.

I think we are likely to see 8 of the 10 Big 12 members end up in the remaining 4 power conferences to bring each to 16 teams. I believe the Big 12 can be dissolved by a vote of 8 members thus getting out of the GOR. ESPN & Fox will have a lot to say about who goes where, but here are few likely possibilities.

Texas, TT, OU, OK St - PAC 12
That deal almost happened 6 years ago

Kansas - B1G

TCU & Baylor
Tougher calls, but SEC could use another Texas school or 2.

WVU - ACC
Football schools want WVU and they reunite the original Big East teams. ND and WVU are very strong football additions that the ACC really needs.

If UConn starts winning most of its FB games and makes it into the top 25 ranking -- which is not impossible -- the ACC may be very eager to have UConn join.

Ok, so you actually believe it. That says more about you than me. Thanks for confirming what we already know.
