Your track record shows you to be an attack dog for the ACC. This board is for all CFB fans as far as I can tell, not just for your ACC spin.

and by spin you mean my reality right?

By spin I mean spin. You seem to want to ignore things that are in favor of what you wish they were. And you want everyone else to follow that and promote that, or you call them "trolls".

So, no one is allowed to discuss for example that the ACC schools make less than the other major conferences--if you do you are a troll.

If on the other hand some ACC fans want to spread something negative about the Big 12 or Big Ten or SEC? All good in your book.

Spin.

when you are discussing false information or trying to mislead a regular news story from what it actually is.....that's not legitimate discussion......that's straight up trolling. so when you say the b12 will be making $100 mill more than the acc ==> that right there is a prime example of why you are a troll.

Big TEN I said the Big TEN schools will be making $100 million more than ACC schools will by 2020. I said that BIG 12 schools will be making similar numbers via their tv deals and tier 3 deals.

It isn't trolling to state the truth about conferences. One could say you are trolling if you are trying to claim the ACC will be making more than those conferences in media rights revenues or that the ACC will be "close" to them in such revenues. That's just not being honest.

and that's where you are a total troll.....

Prove it. Tell everyone what the Big 12s numbers going forward are compared to the ACCs.

No they can't. They should have joined the BE as a non-football member.

Fixed for accuracy.

A Big East with UConn basketball would make it difficult for the MSG "poobahs" to sever ties with the Big East Tourney. IMHO, that contract that was deemed "air tight" is only as "air tight" as the MSG allows it to be.

==============

To UConn fans and casual observers:

1. What does UConn bring to the ACC that it doesn't already have...?
* Keep in mind that the ACC is adding NYC to its "tournament rotation" without the presence of UConn.

2. What does UConn bring to the B1G that it doesn't already have...?

Well, UCknn would bring the Big Ten a basketball program that's been able to win a national championship since the turn of the century.

They would bring the ACC a school that's actually it's state's flagship university - a pretty scarce commodity in that league.

UConn would bring the ACC men's and women's basketball, which they clearly need.

UConn would [help] support the B1G entrance into NYC which Rutgers alone will not be able to do.

Too bad for UConn it isn't like the 1980's when basketball actually mattered. It possibly could have helped overcome the fact that they are and always will be dead weight in football.

Not sure there ever has been a time when women's basketball mattered to anybody not in Storrs, Knoxville, or Ruston.

It must suck to know that UCONN Women's Basketball outdraws and brings in more money than Clemson Men's Basketball...

TRUE. Of course, Clemson makes up for that by bringing in like 10X as much football money as UConn... hmmm.

True. I didn't particularly care for his dig though. Obviously football is the $ driving force.

And I'm closing this thread. Its gone completely off the rails.
