Also, maybe the ACC may be more open now to adding another member than last year.

Why would the ACC be more open to do anything? They had a great football year and basketball is amazing. Adding another big name bball school isn't needed now. The ACC if anything is more entrenched where they are.

The best time to make a change is when things are positive. Clemson won the national championship. Louisville player won the Heisman. The ACC football powers may be less anxious now about adding UConn that they were before.

Also, isn't an ACC TV network in the works? UConn would help that become lucrative, especially given that part of Connnecticut is part of the metro New York City market. Syracuse is located in another TV market.

Jeez man, get off your knees, show some pride. You're embarrassing yourself and your school. Snap out of it lol

That's rich coming from a fan of a school who's still on their knees begging the BIG 12 to reconsider.

Look i have no beef with you overly sensitive husky fans. If you or that other husky fan, or every other husky fan believe that crying little blotches is way to get a p5 invite, then by all means whine and cry. Personally I'm neutral and don't give a fart about y'all staying or going. Spoiler alert though, the whiny crybaby never wins in the end. No need to respond to this though because my comment wasn't aimed at you or your school and I'm in no mood to sling insults with you about basically nothing. 07-coffee3

I also knew that all of the revenue projections coming out of the Big 12 blogosphere were complete bullshitt.

Honestly, it was incredible that so many other people could not see through that obvious horseshitt.

It was a little bit scary how insanely gullible people showed themselves to be during that entire bizarre episode. Just further proof that people will always be more inclined to believe what they want to believe.

The tip off should have been that the University of Pittsburgh was invited to join both conferences just a year prior and chose the ACC.

You don't think Pitt crunched those numbers and talked to television consultants and executives?

You don't think they did a comprehensive study before making such an important decision?

Too many people ignored that very obvious fact.

My worry was that the Big Ten was going to take Florida State and Georgia Tech. That would've hurt the ACC in a very real way and for a while there I thought that was going to happen.

Needless to say, I am glad it worked out as it did.

Epic fail DR. Epic fail.


LOL. I"m guessing you like pretending to be a Dr on the internet.

Dr, here is a reason there are 6 power 5 schools in Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma combined and 6 in NY, MA, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Jersey, , Pennsylvania, and Maryland combined. LOL

I'm nost sure DR but I think that means your comment about demographics is well, BS. IF those huge states with all thier wealth, population, "demographics" and tens of million of people can't even beat 3 plains states with 10 million in population combined what does that say about the passion of thier fans DR?

Iowa 3m
Kansas 3M
Oklahoma 4m
Combined 10 M people

Pennsylvania 13 m
NY 20 M
Rhode Island 1m
Vermont .5 m
Massachusetts 7m
Connecticut 3.5 m
New Jersey 9M
Delaware 1m
New Hampshire 1m
MAryland 6 m
MAine 1.
Total of 63 Million people

Anybody with a firing brain cell can see the difference in fan passion for schools in the plains versus the Northeast, heck PSU is the only real fan base in the entire region. Fan support in the Northeast is terrible. Go look at Cuse and BC attendance. For all the millions of people in the area none care. None go to games and none watch games. Those schools are rarely on national TV and when they are it's due to the opponent. Rutgers and Maryland are the same way. terrible fan support for the number of people in the area. Garbage fanbases and broke AD's, that is what you ahve in the northeast. All reacquire huge subsidy to operate becasue hey lack ticket sales, concessions, and donations to compete on thier own.

Dr, What fanbase in the Northeast would you say is better than Iowa, ISU, KU, KSU, OU, or OSU?

No charge for the lesson DR. Would you like to move into budgets and TV ratings next?

I agree with you on this. Sorry Dr, but what good are the New York demographics to Buffalo? I'd rather be the Cornhuskers in Nebraska with its 2 million than Syracuse or Buffalo in New York with its 20 million. If 100k show up to a football game in Lincoln your "demographics" logic would dictate that 10 times that would come to a game featuring a New York team right?
There's a lot of people in NYC; just not too many that are interested in watching the local college football game. I like it when East Coast NFL/NBA first fans educate us on college sports.
Cheers!

Syracuse isn't in New York City. They are in rural central new york 6 hours north of the city. Nebraska gets 90% saturation. Rutgers gets 10%. Those rural schools with large fan bases can't get bigger. Rutgers could get bigger. Thats the rub. The urban schools get good a lot more people start tuning in.

If UConn is serious about a move like this I think they need to be consulting with Navy and Temple in order to try and revive the old system of northeastern football independents that function as a pseudo-conference. With UConn out of the AAC and UMass lacking the support for inclusion maybe Temple would prefer to go back to the A-10. If the A-10 needs a 16th maybe ODU would be interested in forgoing C-USA membership for A-10/FB Indy status.

The east coast football Indy alliance could consist of UMass, UConn, Temple, Army, Navy, ODU.

This may be the dumbest comment so far in this very dumb thread. Out of curiosity what has given you the idea that Navy or Temple are unhappy with their situation? Navy football is rising and so is Temples'. Don't let a few whiny UCONN bball fans hoping for football suicide to "save" bball paint you the wrong impression of the rest of the AAC, you know those other schools that are actually working on improving and winning and building a better conference 07-coffee307-coffee307-coffee3

No, definitely not a fail – just right between the eyes reality.

I think you totally missed my point. At least I hope you missed my point.

It's OK, many people struggle to grasp this reality.

However, it is exactly why Florida State and Clemson were never really going to the Big 12. That was fanboy blogosphere bullshitt that some moronic journalists and a few trustees bought into until they got a look behind the curtain at the actual numbers – not the "alternative facts" that were being provided publicly at the time.

Let me put it this way: there is a reason why Florida State's president was adamantly telling everyone associated with his school to shut the hell up and to meet privately with him. He knew the actual numbers and not the made up nonsense that was being spewed for public consumption.

Yes, Oklahoma State has more fans than Boston College. However, it doesn't mean anything because Massachusetts has so many more people living in it than Oklahoma. Also, the average Boston College fan/alum is well to do and therefore extremely valuable to would be advertisers.

Let's keep it to my area – the only part of the country where the two league's actually directly compete. Pitt is in the ACC and West Virginia is in the Big 12 because Pitt is a more valuable property than West Virginia, despite the fact that the Mountaineers have a more passionate fan base.

How do I know that? Well, because the Big 12 invited Pitt to join its league before it settled for West Virginia, that's how I know that. Also, the ACC came in and stole Pitt away from the Big 12 and they did not invite West Virginia.

It's pretty much a cut and dried value judgment all the way around.

Now, in all fairness, Pitt is also a significantly better academic institution than West Virginia and I'm sure that was attractive to the ACC as well. However, it was the superior market and demographics that drove the whole thing, not academic considerations, as the addition of Louisville would later prove.

Now, I know people love to beat their chest and put on a brave face, and really who can blame them? However, you and I both know that West Virginia would kill to swap places with Pitt and the inverse is definitely not true.

Also, if the ACC came through with an offer tomorrow, the Mountaineer brass would immediately be on the phones with their attornies trying to figure out how to get out of the Grant of Rights.

It's OK to admit it. That doesn't make you look weak – it makes you look smart and reasonable.

For example, the same is true of Florida State, Clemson and Louisville with the SEC. if that league ever decided that it wanted any of those three schools, they would be gone in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

All of these things were true when Pitt made its original decision and it's even more true now that it looks like the two leagues are headed in very different directions.

People want to blame Texas – and they are certainly scoundrels here. They are your last best hope for a conference television network. It's not going to happen without the Longhorns being involved despite all of those passionate fan bases in the states you listed.

However, the reality is the demographics in the Great Plains are poor. That's why no one wants to do a conference television network there – especially without Texas.

At the same time all of the networks were telling the Big 12 AD's that there was no public appetite for a Big 12 Network, ESPN was laying the groundwork for an ACC television network. What does that tell you?

Yeah, I know us Yankees are the worst. By the way, the Yankees are a baseball team that play in New York - and just about everyone hates them.

Nebraska left the Big 12 for the Big Ten for a reason and it wasn't because they didn't like Texas' attitude. I mean seriously, do you think that Michigan and Ohio State are any less arrogant?

It's about demographics and that's why half the Big 12 left a few years ago and that's why that league is dying. It is terribly dysfunctional and outside of Texas, it has poor demographics.

We all know how this movie is going to end – it's just a matter of time. Are people really still in denial about this?

It's over – as soon as this GOR runs out, the schools that have options are gone and the rest will merge with either the AAC schools or the Mountain West schools or (most likely) they will take the best from both of those leagues and form what they can. I didn't even think we were debating the point anymore.

Hell, I think that's why Baylor allowed it's football program to run amok. They saw how close they came last time to being UConn'd and they wanted to raise their football program's profile in an effort to avoid that fate the next time that conference implodes. So, if a few good little Baptist girls have to get raped along the way, hey, that's the cost of doing business if you want to play big boy football, baby!

I truly believe it was that craven. In fact, from some of the leaked documents, we now know it was that cold. That's why some of the boosters, despite having access to a lot of this information, were still trying to figure out how to retain Art Briles. That man, and that ball of human filth Ken Starr, should both be rotting away in a goddamm prison for what they allowed to happen to all of those poor young ladies.

IF demographics are favorable then ESPN puts the games on TV to sell advertizing. Unfortunately you must not have ever looked at the TV ratings. All you are doing is digging your hole deeper DR.

Look before you make yourself look more like an idiot. I'm embarassed for you at this point.
http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-...v-ratings/

Schools like Cuse and BC are only on national TV a few times a year for good reason, and OkSU is n national TV for about every game. Cuse, BC, and Maryland have terrible TV ratings compared to KSU, ISU, and OSU. So much for your theory.

This isn't rocket science DR. ESPN puts the games with the most TV viewers on national TV and the rest get picked up regionally or stream. 6 of BC's games were so worthless they were not on national TV.

Those schools have few fans, donations, ticket sales, concession, so the taxpayers get to subsidize the AD.
MAryland 16% subsidy
Rutgers 33% subsidy
Connecticut 38%

All those wealthy demographics dont 'mean squat to those schools or to advertisers because nobody watches and when they do it's for the opposing team.

Here is another example.
PAC vs Oklahoma. 2 time zones vs 1 small state.
Regular season in state rivalry game vs P-5 CCG
Washington + Colorado population vs Oklahoma
3.4 5.671M Washington
Colorado Pac-12 Champ. 9:00 PM FOX
3.1 4.817M Oklahoma
Oklahoma St. Big 12 12:36 PM FOX

DR. You don't know poop from puddin.

UConn joining the conference would improve every sport that the Big East offers. Even though this move would be about basketball, it would strengthen all other sports by their participation as well. The move would strengthen lacrosse, soccer and baseball, and the league could start hosting the women's tournament at UConn as well.

You don't think Pitt crunched those numbers and talked to television consultants and executives?

You don't think they did a comprehensive study before making such an important decision?

Too many people ignored that very obvious fact.

My worry was that the Big Ten was going to take Florida State and Georgia Tech. That would've hurt the ACC in a very real way and for a while there I thought that was going to happen.

Needless to say, I am glad it worked out as it did.

Epic fail DR. Epic fail.


LOL. I"m guessing you like pretending to be a Dr on the internet.

Dr, here is a reason there are 6 power 5 schools in Iowa, Kansas, and Oklahoma combined and 6 in NY, MA, Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, New Jersey, , Pennsylvania, and Maryland combined. LOL

I'm nost sure DR but I think that means your comment about demographics is well, BS. IF those huge states with all thier wealth, population, "demographics" and tens of million of people can't even beat 3 plains states with 10 million in population combined what does that say about the passion of thier fans DR?

Iowa 3m
Kansas 3M
Oklahoma 4m
Combined 10 M people

Pennsylvania 13 m
NY 20 M
Rhode Island 1m
Vermont .5 m
Massachusetts 7m
Connecticut 3.5 m
New Jersey 9M
Delaware 1m
New Hampshire 1m
MAryland 6 m
MAine 1.
Total of 63 Million people

Anybody with a firing brain cell can see the difference in fan passion for schools in the plains versus the Northeast, heck PSU is the only real fan base in the entire region. Fan support in the Northeast is terrible. Go look at Cuse and BC attendance. For all the millions of people in the area none care. None go to games and none watch games. Those schools are rarely on national TV and when they are it's due to the opponent. Rutgers and Maryland are the same way. terrible fan support for the number of people in the area. Garbage fanbases and broke AD's, that is what you ahve in the northeast. All reacquire huge subsidy to operate becasue hey lack ticket sales, concessions, and donations to compete on thier own.

Dr, What fanbase in the Northeast would you say is better than Iowa, ISU, KU, KSU, OU, or OSU?

No charge for the lesson DR. Would you like to move into budgets and TV ratings next?

I agree with you on this. Sorry Dr, but what good are the New York demographics to Buffalo? I'd rather be the Cornhuskers in Nebraska with its 2 million than Syracuse or Buffalo in New York with its 20 million. If 100k show up to a football game in Lincoln your "demographics" logic would dictate that 10 times that would come to a game featuring a New York team right?
There's a lot of people in NYC; just not too many that are interested in watching the local college football game. I like it when East Coast NFL/NBA first fans educate us on college sports.
Cheers!

Yeah, I know us Yankees are the worst. By the way, the Yankees are a baseball team that play in New York - and just about everyone hates them.

Nebraska left the Big 12 for the Big Ten for a reason and it wasn't because they didn't like Texas' attitude. I mean seriously, do you think that Michigan and Ohio State are any less arrogant?

It's about demographics and that's why half the Big 12 left a few years ago and that's why that league is dying. It is terribly dysfunctional and outside of Texas, it has poor demographics.

We all know how this movie is going to end – it's just a matter of time. Are people really still in denial about this?

It's over – as soon as this GOR runs out, the schools that have options are gone and the rest will merge with either the AAC schools or the Mountain West schools or (most likely) they will take the best from both of those leagues and form what they can. I didn't even think we were debating the point anymore.

Hell, I think that's why Baylor allowed it's football program to run amok. They saw how close they came last time to being UConn'd and they wanted to raise their football program's profile in an effort to avoid that fate the next time that conference implodes. So, if a few good little Baptist girls have to get raped along the way, hey, that's the cost of doing business if you want to play big boy football, baby!

I truly believe it was that craven. In fact, from some of the leaked documents, we now know it was that cold. That's why some of the boosters, despite having access to a lot of this information, were still trying to figure out how to retain Art Briles. That man, and that ball of human filth Ken Starr, should both be rotting away in a goddamm prison for what they allowed to happen to all of those poor young ladies.
I can assure you that NEbraska leaving was 100% about UT. Again you are simply uninformed trying to pretend you know something.

You aren't a DR nor are you knowledgeable about college football. Just a moron trying his best to act smart while making a fool of himself.

Nebraska went from one bad division to another. At some point you have to realize you are the problem. Nebraska has no recruiting nearby and plays few games in good recruiting areas. Now they will struggle to be the #4 team in the conference moving forward. Nebraska is not thrilled with the schedule either.

Do you realize the Big 12 gets paid really well right?

I get the feeling you just want to rant about the Big 12 as you keep going back to that. Changing the subject becasue you know you are wrong is really obvious DR.

Thanks for the entertainment and the -12 rep, clearly you are major butthurt. Keep up the fine work. :LOL

Wow...the last couple of paragraphs got a little crazy. ? Anyway, I'm not a Baylor fan and I hope they get the death penalty but they won't even be stripped of 1 bowl game. The P5 conference schools are as sleazy as Ken Starr and won't let it happen. The NCAA is too afraid of the cartel leaving and starting their own NFL-Lite to do anything. If said NFL-Lite happens? The filth that would fly among the Cartel 5 would make Briles and Bliss blush.

RE: UConn to Big East?
A couple of questions for those who may know:

How much money is UConn (and similarly Cincinnati and USF) still expected to get from the old Big East war chest from the defections in realignment? How much were they supposed to receive in total? Would UConn have to waive those fees as part of a condition getting back into the conference? Would they relinquish those fees to the American members?

I believe the war chest included exit fees and tournament credits.

No, definitely not a fail – just right between the eyes reality.

I think you totally missed my point. At least I hope you missed my point.

It's OK, many people struggle to grasp this reality.

However, it is exactly why Florida State and Clemson were never really going to the Big 12. That was fanboy blogosphere bullshitt that some moronic journalists and a few trustees bought into until they got a look behind the curtain at the actual numbers – not the "alternative facts" that were being provided publicly at the time.

Let me put it this way: there is a reason why Florida State's president was adamantly telling everyone associated with his school to shut the hell up and to meet privately with him. He knew the actual numbers and not the made up nonsense that was being spewed for public consumption.

Yes, Oklahoma State has more fans than Boston College. However, it doesn't mean anything because Massachusetts has so many more people living in it than Oklahoma. Also, the average Boston College fan/alum is well to do and therefore extremely valuable to would be advertisers.

Let's keep it to my area – the only part of the country where the two league's actually directly compete. Pitt is in the ACC and West Virginia is in the Big 12 because Pitt is a more valuable property than West Virginia, despite the fact that the Mountaineers have a more passionate fan base.

How do I know that? Well, because the Big 12 invited Pitt to join its league before it settled for West Virginia, that's how I know that. Also, the ACC came in and stole Pitt away from the Big 12 and they did not invite West Virginia.

It's pretty much a cut and dried value judgment all the way around.

Now, in all fairness, Pitt is also a significantly better academic institution than West Virginia and I'm sure that was attractive to the ACC as well. However, it was the superior market and demographics that drove the whole thing, not academic considerations, as the addition of Louisville would later prove.

Now, I know people love to beat their chest and put on a brave face, and really who can blame them? However, you and I both know that West Virginia would kill to swap places with Pitt and the inverse is definitely not true.

Also, if the ACC came through with an offer tomorrow, the Mountaineer brass would immediately be on the phones with their attornies trying to figure out how to get out of the Grant of Rights.

It's OK to admit it. That doesn't make you look weak – it makes you look smart and reasonable.

For example, the same is true of Florida State, Clemson and Louisville with the SEC. if that league ever decided that it wanted any of those three schools, they would be gone in two shakes of a lamb's tail.

All of these things were true when Pitt made its original decision and it's even more true now that it looks like the two leagues are headed in very different directions.

People want to blame Texas – and they are certainly scoundrels here. They are your last best hope for a conference television network. It's not going to happen without the Longhorns being involved despite all of those passionate fan bases in the states you listed.

However, the reality is the demographics in the Great Plains are poor. That's why no one wants to do a conference television network there – especially without Texas.

At the same time all of the networks were telling the Big 12 AD's that there was no public appetite for a Big 12 Network, ESPN was laying the groundwork for an ACC television network. What does that tell you?
IF demographics are favorable then ESPN puts the games on TV to sell advertizing. Unfortunately you must not have ever looked at the TV ratings. All you are doing is digging your hole deeper DR.

Look before you make yourself look more like an idiot. I'm embarassed for you at this point.
http://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-...v-ratings/

Schools like Cuse and BC are only on national TV a few times a year for good reason, and OkSU is n national TV for about every game. Cuse, BC, and Maryland have terrible TV ratings compared to KSU, ISU, and OSU. So much for your theory.

This isn't rocket science DR. ESPN puts the games with the most TV viewers on national TV and the rest get picked up regionally or stream. 6 of BC's games were so worthless they were not on national TV.

Those schools have few fans, donations, ticket sales, concession, so the taxpayers get to subsidize the AD.
MAryland 16% subsidy
Rutgers 33% subsidy
Connecticut 38%

All those wealthy demographics dont 'mean squat to those schools or to advertisers because nobody watches and when they do it's for the opposing team.

Here is another example.
PAC vs Oklahoma. 2 time zones vs 1 small state.
Regular season in state rivalry game vs P-5 CCG
Washington + Colorado population vs Oklahoma
3.4 5.671M Washington
Colorado Pac-12 Champ. 9:00 PM FOX
3.1 4.817M Oklahoma
Oklahoma St. Big 12 12:36 PM FOX

DR. You don't know poop from puddin.

This is a REALLY dumb debate. The market has already spoken. Don't take my word for it, take the word of the actual television executives who have made this decision with their checkbooks.

If the Big 12 was more valuable than the ACC, Florida State and Clemson would've left for the Big 12. Maybe I missed it, did that happen?

You can piss and moan all you like but it doesn't change reality. I mean three years ago, you were talking about Florida State and Clemson joining your conference and this year you were talking about Memphis and Cincinnati. What does that tell you?

The ACC has consistently ranked third in television ratings behind the SEC and the B1G despite having such small and dispassionate fan bases. I wonder why?

Never mind. Believe whatever you want to believe – I don't care. And when your school is playing a rivalry game against New Mexico in a few years, don't be mad at me.

RE: UConn to Big East?
LOL. This is about you demographic claims regarding value to TV. Has nothing to do with Clemson and FSU.

I guess since you know you look like a moron at this point you are going to try and change the subject. LOL. So predictable and so pathetic.

Demographics, wealth, and population mean little to college football if those people don't watch. That's why in the highly populated and richest areas of the US there are not many college fans.

You tried making some ridiculous claim about how those areas are worth more to TV providers becasue of advertising money but you failed to look at TV ratings or even the number of TV appearances. Now you are backpeddaling and trying to change the subject to FSU???? LOL. What a terrible transition.

And to top it off you insult me claiming OU will be playing a rivalry game against New Mexico. You really are pathetic.

From a psychological standpoint you are quite funny. Very insecure, need to feel important by claiming to be a DR, making lots of claims pretending to know about college football and TV, and when faced with facts like AD budgets, attendance, TV ratings, etc that completely contradict your statements you change the subject. In the end you make yourself look like a moron.

Like the time you got so mad you gave me -12 rep. LOL. So pathetic. Keep up the fine work DR.

Do you even realize the Big 12 makes more money from TV than the ACC? You need to do some research son.

RE: UConn to Big East?
I think the Big 12 and ACC are roughly equivalent for the momement. Their TV revenue is similar and I think either would have trouble poaching the other (geographic advatages might push West Virginia to accept an invite, in the unlikely event one was offered). That said, the ACC has advantages into the future. The precieved greater stability does count for a lot and gives them an upper hand long term. That can change though.

On a per school money basis though, I think the Big 12 has the advantage. 1/5 your league is Texas/Oklahoma and Kansas basketbal is also there. I think their 10 team model will lead to the league getting more per team despite other weaknesses long term if both survive as they are. That wont make a difference if the league doesnt survive as is, but the future is murky on that either way.
