ACC is a basketball power with weak football. If FSU leaves its basically the big east for football again. I would rather be in the Big12 and play competitive teams every week. They arent to shabby on the bball side either. If i were being recruited and heard i would get yo play against texas, kstate and oklahoma i would i would be ecstatic in stead of hearing im going agains pitt, nc and duke

Even if that were the case, and there are many non big 12 schools who clearly recruit competitively without their affiliation, a conference move impacts a lot of other sports other than just football. Whether the football fans like it or not, they're better off against schools in closer proximity, and in fact size. Thus, the acc configuration is a much better fit. WV will/is finding that out.

Most non-revenue sports would play a very similar schedule to what they play now regardless of the conference. But I'll take whichever comes calling first. It's not like we're very likely to have a choice anyway.

too bad our chances of being one of those 16 are about as good as an ice cube in an inferno...

Whether he is alluding to a B1G invite or an ACC invite, odd that he would retweet that without some motive...? Between this and the coaching situation, I'm on overload!

Trying not to stare at that with dollar signs in my eyes.

UC does not add televisions to the BIG. Nor would tO$U allow UC to be voted in. It is too bad that IU and PU, MSU and UM, IL and NW can all get along but not the 12-0 Bucks.

"Almost hate to do this but I have confirmed that BC is in talks with the B1G."

This might be UC's cue - or the ACC will take a stab at UConn?

Anybody can say anything - but if the ACC was to be looking for a replacement for BC why wouldn't it be UConn - another New England school with acceptable football, solid academics and way above average basketball, both men and women. Hard to see how it helps us.

At this stage, I can only 'hang on for the ride' - there's going to be so much crap swirling around, until we announce something meaningful, I'm going to assume nothing is true...

If it's BC, that is a bit of a bummer. Because as long as BC stays in the ACC we have a better shot at joining than UCONN in my opinion.
