I'm hearing the #Bearcats to the ACC is a done deal. Maybe even to the point of a signed agreement. Working to confirm.

@pencerm
I should clarify, nothing is confirmed. But I have enough information to post what I have. Where there's smoke, there's fire. #Bearcats


Either this is really happening, or this kid is putting his job on the line ...

So if this is true the Big East will be basketball only, and MWC merges with CUSA. No more Big East football??

ACC would be awesome for UC. Great hoops and a football conference that we can compete in. This is best case scenario. Will have to hope that there will not be additional significant defections. This would be great news though. So much better than where the BE is headed.

A depleted ACC is essentially the Big East, which would be a **** of a lot nicer than Conference USA.

Hopefully, a grant of TV rights would be included for all members which would me FSU was staying put.

Hope it's true. If so, we will have dodged a devasting bullet.

We have 33 people viewing the Conference Realignment and Football categories and no one is posting. Stop lurking people! Register! Join the conversation!

Someone on CSNBBS.com said the reporter was asked why he removed it and if it wasn't true, and he said "other reasons"

At the game this evening a friend also told me that UC was on its way to the ACC. This friend's uncle has a very good friend who is on the board at UC.
