Welp, ACC stays together with a new agreement (LINK)

If the B1G decided to go to an uneven revenue distribution model like the ACC, would the B1G have any more interest in UConn?
Football wise, UConn would likely receive a very low payout, with a higher payout for basketball. If UConn's total payout was only say $25-$30 million, then UConn would not be taking money away from the other B1G schools by having an equal payout. Does that make UConn more valuable to the B1G?

Well, they are not market-based professional teams, in the sense that their finances are subsidized.
So, I would say they are still mostly state-subsidized entities. Let them go fully pro and share the money 50/50 like the NFL does.
No. UConn simply doesn't fit the B1G mold. The ACC and B12 are more realistic aspirations.

Reasonable approach. That will bifurcate college athletics for sure.

"Also, how would the ACC actually schedule nine league games with 17 members since, well, it’s mathematically impossible."
“We have the highest rated academic schools of any Power Four conference,” an ACC AD told On3. “We’ll figure it out.”
"One option would be 12 ACC teams play nine conference games and the remaining five ACC teams would play only eight – but count its game against Notre Dame for its ninth ACC game."

ACC discussing adding 9th league game, but how?
The ACC is the only Power 4 conference not slated to play nine conference games. Discussions are underway, but how does the ACC get there.

Clemson 1 down. Free Shoes fails to lose to lesser version of Alabama, ex-Saban. Such a shame. A few more opportunities for Ls.

Some FSU guys took FSU at 2 TD underdogs...I do not gamble because I hate to lose money. The reporting out of practices always incites optimism. And I would be wary because of Bama's athletes.
A one TD game between Clemson and LSU...Clemson was favored by 4.5 (basically two FG's)....I would have lost on Clemson. Memory can fool you as teams change from year to year...

Bama in decline under Saban is a real stretch.
Were they in decline under Saban after 2012?

Sure it was. Just take ten seconds and google the results under Saban in his last few seasons. You don't need to thank me.

His last few seasons they lost in the national championship game to Georgia and finished #1 in the CFB playoff rankings after blowing out Ohio State the year before to win the national championship. The next season they won the Sugar Bowl and finished the season #5 in the CFB playoff rankings. His final season they lost to Michigan in the Rose Bowl finished the season ranked #4 in the CFB playoff rankings.
His last 4 seasons they went 13-0, 13-2, 11-2, 12-2.
After they won the national championship in 2012 they lost back to back Sugar Bowls finishing 11-2 and 12-2.

You realize that losing two games at Alabama is considered catastrophic right? He did that three years in a row. Two years in a row they struggled against USF. Alabama took a back seat to Georgia. There was a noticeable decline.
And there was a reason he punched out when he did.

You realize they lost 2 games and lost back to back bowl games in the 2013 and 2014 season?

It probably started earlier than people realize. But the weren’t on an upward trajectory for a while before he left. In this era his way wasn’t going to cut it and he knew it.
