    I thought moving the BB conference tournament to Texas was a mistake, though.
    I think that was done mostly because the whole conference office moved to Las Colinas (Irving) and they got a sweetheart deal with Dickies Arena. It was brand new and available. I think the tournament would have done much better down here if it was in Dallas and not Ft. Worth. Also, COVID really killed the attendance for that whole run at Dickies. The optimal site down here would have been American Airlines Center but it's booked by the Big XII women's tournament that week.

    In retrospect, I don't think the AAC MBB tourney was ever held in anything remotely considered a central site. Huge mistake. I always thought we should have booked something in Nashville for the tournament.

      The courts have declined to hear this case and as a result, the PAC 2 have basically taken control of the conference board. This ensures that the other schools leaving the conference don't run off with all the money.

      • There are rumors heating up about a PAC2/ACC/BIG12 merger of sorts... ACC would lose 4 schools. BY would be the overlord of all 3 conferences with shared revenue and 3 auto bids. PAC2 would be reformed into the PAC10 and many schools would be shifted around. Cincy/WVU/UCF likely be shifted to ACC. There would also be a major deal with UFC/WWE for more money and branding. Sounds like a long shot but it also makes a lot of sense to stay relevant and compete with B1G and SEC...

          Where on earth is this coming from? Sounds like something one of the WVU "expansion experts" thought of at random.

              If I had a $1 for every piece of BS that "Dude" wrote about or tweeted, I'd be rich. Everything out of his mouth is crap. He does it on purpose for engagement.

                    Not only will it be the PAC two but it will only include one sport. The PAC 2 is to become really strange.

                      • DIck "Hoops" Weiss, who is a hall of fame reporter is currently reporting he's getting credible stuff on FSU and Clemson considering the Big XII. That would be completely wild as I think everyone has them pegged to the SEC. Makes me wonder if Dick has gotten misinformation here and didn't catch it. He's about 80 at this point.

                        It wouldn't suprise me if it's real simply becuase The BIg XII TV contract is better than the ACC's but I suspect this might be a bait report from the FSU folks trying to get someone's attention.

                          I took the time to read the replies. This one was funny: "

                            SEC does not need any more programs at this time, so I sincerely hope any conversations about FSU leaving the ACC involves other conferences. Perhaps FSU, Oregon State, and Washington State could start the Big 3 conference."
