LOL have you seen what happens when someone posts something positive about UConn? I'd rather never post on here again than post positive things about my school.

UConn's metrics show that it well deserves to be in a P5 conference.

That would be news to the power brokers in the ACC.

See, I was trying to be nice and you proved his point.......

No, you posted something that was untrue and I corrected you.

The power brokers in the ACC screwed up badly. The B1G snagged prime territory in mid-atlantic while the ACC was left with small burgs in Central NY and outside the Atlantic Coast, not to mention a 1/2 mile radius around Cleveland Circle in Boston.

Maybe so, but we avoided a black hole in football and since that is the money maker I guess it works out in the end.

1. It's mostly a G5 board here at CS&CR with the majority of posts expressing hurt, anger, or some other negative emotion leveled at the P5. It's misplaced. The networks have been driving expansion for the purpose of maximizing advertising revenue which after all is the crux of their business.

2. The ACC vastly outnumbers the rest of the P5 posters here and childishly does gang up on posters whose views they don't like. This is particularly true of the ACC posters whose schools once comprised the membership of the Old Big East. I chalk it up to old realignment issues, not current ones per se.

3. The CS&CR board is supposed to be a discussion board where all parties can mix. Discussion means no ad hominem attacks, respectful disagreement, and no trolling tactics such as dissembling the current discussion, hijacking the current discussion to a topic ancillary or totally skew of the OP's topic, or endless arguing over minutia smaller than the hairs on a gnats butt to claim a point.

4. When I first came here it was because I enjoyed getting ideas and discussing them with others not from the SEC boards. The perspectives of the Big East, the ACC, the Big 10, and the Big 12 posters and Wedge (sort of our lone PAC guy) were always more fun, and it filled in the gaps in reasoning that you miss when only conversing with those who think just like you do.

5. I agree that UConn fans get short shrift on expressing their joys and accomplishments and overall good news. There is always some jerk, who for the sake of an old grudge or out of some sense of being more important now that their school is no longer seeking a safe harbor, feels the need to level the Karma of the average Husky fan.

6. That said there is no more insufferable group on the board than tattle tail Huskies who report every perceived slight and who concoct schemes of victimization to cajole the moderation team into exacting retribution upon one of their foes. Whiny rat fink tactics doesn't endear them to anyone!

7. I do enjoy some of Kaplony's "Rainbow and Unicorn" applications to the ACC. If there is a close second to Whiny Rat Finks it is the obtuseness of the Pollyannas of the ACC. "Sure we are behind nearly 10 million in revenue but if you compare the 4th, 5th, and 9th, position schools in the Big 10 against our 4th, 5th, and 9th in terms of concessions you will see that hot dog sales alone make up that difference." If you are behind just admit it. The Big 10 can't bust you up if you don't leave. Just quit with all the danged excuses and totally obscure catch up scenarios! And if you are going to cheer lead then at least put on a dress and grow some teats.

8. If you had to spend 1 week as a mod you would learn how time consuming it is to merge threads. So like Wedge has posted don't start one until you've checked the board to see how many more are already there that pertain to the same presser or are discussing the same issue. All other moderation is not that tough but merging threads can be tedious.

9. Try to keep topics on the main board general to the all schools or at least a large group of schools. If it is exclusive to your conference then take it to your conference board. I think the mods really need to start moving some of them to bring a semblance of appropriateness back to the main board.

10. I see very few appropriate OT threads. If it doesn't pertain to College Sports or Realignment then take it to the lounge. If it is political take it to the Spin Room. If it is smack we even have a place for that and it is not on this board.

We may be about to have some noteworthy things happening so don't junk up the main board with trash threads period. I know it's the off season and things have been relatively slow, but think before you start a thread and put it in the appropriate forum and we'll be fine.

JR

Then there is us Notre Dame types that just tease or "ND is Happy where they are" type post.

Generally speaking Irish fans are a fairly cordial group on any board. Maybe it's because you don't have anything to be defensive about.

Everything you just posted is absolutely true...myself at the point and really see no need to bash or belittle...I am Pro Louisville but not anti anything...post my opinion and try not to be too bias towards Louisville or the ACC

I know that Maize. If I had picked someone else they would be woofing by now. I just saw an opportunity to address some stuff and took it. Your comment was a good jumping in point.

The answer to the op is

No

Disney earnings fall short of expectations. ESPN harming Disney's bottom line. ESPN ad revenue is down and were hit by more subscriber losses.

I just don't see an ACC Network happening.

1. It's mostly a G5 board here at CS&CR with the majority of posts expressing hurt, anger, or some other negative emotion leveled at the P5. It's misplaced. The networks have been driving expansion for the purpose of maximizing advertising revenue which after all is the crux of their business.

2. The ACC vastly outnumbers the rest of the P5 posters here and childishly does gang up on posters whose views they don't like. This is particularly true of the ACC posters whose schools once comprised the membership of the Old Big East. I chalk it up to old realignment issues, not current ones per se.

3. The CS&CR board is supposed to be a discussion board where all parties can mix. Discussion means no ad hominem attacks, respectful disagreement, and no trolling tactics such as dissembling the current discussion, hijacking the current discussion to a topic ancillary or totally skew of the OP's topic, or endless arguing over minutia smaller than the hairs on a gnats butt to claim a point.

4. When I first came here it was because I enjoyed getting ideas and discussing them with others not from the SEC boards. The perspectives of the Big East, the ACC, the Big 10, and the Big 12 posters and Wedge (sort of our lone PAC guy) were always more fun, and it filled in the gaps in reasoning that you miss when only conversing with those who think just like you do.

5. I agree that UConn fans get short shrift on expressing their joys and accomplishments and overall good news. There is always some jerk, who for the sake of an old grudge or out of some sense of being more important now that their school is no longer seeking a safe harbor, feels the need to level the Karma of the average Husky fan.

6. That said there is no more insufferable group on the board than tattle tail Huskies who report every perceived slight and who concoct schemes of victimization to cajole the moderation team into exacting retribution upon one of their foes. Whiny rat fink tactics doesn't endear them to anyone!

7. I do enjoy some of Kaplony's "Rainbow and Unicorn" applications to the ACC. If there is a close second to Whiny Rat Finks it is the obtuseness of the Pollyannas of the ACC. "Sure we are behind nearly 10 million in revenue but if you compare the 4th, 5th, and 9th, position schools in the Big 10 against our 4th, 5th, and 9th in terms of concessions you will see that hot dog sales alone make up that difference." If you are behind just admit it. The Big 10 can't bust you up if you don't leave. Just quit with all the danged excuses and totally obscure catch up scenarios! And if you are going to cheer lead then at least put on a dress and grow some teats.

8. If you had to spend 1 week as a mod you would learn how time consuming it is to merge threads. So like Wedge has posted don't start one until you've checked the board to see how many more are already there that pertain to the same presser or are discussing the same issue. All other moderation is not that tough but merging threads can be tedious.

9. Try to keep topics on the main board general to the all schools or at least a large group of schools. If it is exclusive to your conference then take it to your conference board. I think the mods really need to start moving some of them to bring a semblance of appropriateness back to the main board.

10. I see very few appropriate OT threads. If it doesn't pertain to College Sports or Realignment then take it to the lounge. If it is political take it to the Spin Room. If it is smack we even have a place for that and it is not on this board.

We may be about to have some noteworthy things happening so don't junk up the main board with trash threads period. I know it's the off season and things have been relatively slow, but think before you start a thread and put it in the appropriate forum and we'll be fine.

Then there is us Notre Dame types that just tease or "ND is Happy where they are" type post.

Generally speaking Irish fans are a fairly cordial group on any board. Maybe it's because you don't have anything to be defensive about.

Conference talk is just fascinating to us I believe. Plus we are well behaved Catholics of course.

Lol, small sample size, 78..... I think that there are only two of us here.

Conferences and conference realignment are not subjects that most ND fans even think about, much less discuss.

No.
Cheers!

They are obsessed with putting down the ACC or wanting it to fail, which is very odd. Why do you care so much? You never throw shots at the Pac and their failed network, or at the B12 and their complete dysfunction. I don't understand the snide comments, especially from bottom feeder schools who got into the B1G solely due to location and no actual athletic performance.

Will an ACCN close the gap completely? Hell no, anyone with a brain knows that. But it doesn't need to. The Pac and B12 will never come close to what the SEC and B1G make either, so who cares? All 3 will be forever chasing the 2 at the top.

JRSEC is on top of things, as usual. I imagine things will be much clearer by July 1, at the latest.

You asked the Big Ten fans "Why do you care so much?" about the ACC. I don't know, but the Louisville fans who post on the AAC board come to mind as another group "obsessed" and having "hatred" for the AAC. They want the AAC to fail. It is an interesting question/topic of conversation you bring up.
Cheers!

LOL have you seen what happens when someone posts something positive about UConn? I'd rather never post on here again than post positive things about my school.

UConn's metrics show that it well deserves to be in a P5 conference.

That would be news to the power brokers in the ACC.

The power brokers in the ACC screwed up badly. The B1G snagged prime territory in mid-atlantic while the ACC was left with small burgs in Central NY and outside the Atlantic Coast, not to mention a 1/2 mile radius around Cleveland Circle in Boston.

Good Lord, curseroc is right on target. This is just the kind of unearned arrogance that turns so many fans here off.

I swear some of you Uconn guys live in an alternate universe.

1/2 mile radius around Cleveland Circle in Boston? Yeah, that's a good one. Riddle me this, how come BC has higher game attendance than Uconn pretty much every year? - and that's with the "creative counting" used by Uconn to determine attendance (you know, counting people working in the stadium on game day as "paid attendance", counting tickets sold not butts in seats, etc.)

BC games are covered on NESN, the premier cable network in New England. Slightly more expansive that your 1/2 mile radius. Geez.

I always laugh at some of you that claim that all of the ACC brain trust screwed up and only Uconn fans know the right answers. Yeah, that's a good one! Arrogance indeed.

Funny how Uconn fans continue to press their faces against the P5 glass window. I would have thought your school would have been scooped up long ago - being the colossus that you all are! :). Or are you guys still clinging to the theory that BC single handily blocked your admittance to the ACC, while at the same time claiming that BC is irrelevant to the Conference?? (Note to other posters, try figuring that convoluted logic out!)

You guys wonder why so many folks are always trashing UConn.
SMH!

Maybe, just maybe, it's because you're always trashing UCONN.

I know "t-shirt boy" gets his jimmies rustled 24/7 at the mere mention of UCONN, probably because a UCONN fan called him a meany head when he was 10. Or, something

The ACC can keep the gap from growing as large, it wont stop it. The SEC and BIG are more valuable than the ACC.
