Today a couple posters started talking about trying to figure out the OP and one of them purposes that UConn had signed a NDA with the B1G. Another poster then linked a old Rutgers article about their NDA and the length of it. While the conversation was happening, the orginal OP "liked" the one poster who brought the NDA with the B1G up as what they thought was cracking the code to the OP. Within a couple minutes the "Like" was gone. But a few people caught it and it's being talked about off the public message board.

In the Rutgers link it basically says that it's a short amount of time once the NDA is going on. In another thread from earlier this year, another Boneyard poster left a coded OP on the conference realignment board as well. There have been hints for a couple years now sort of Rutgers style about UConn. Doing things that fit the school in a B1G profile etc but nothing concrete happens.

Are we about to see that tipping point?

Why is FSU complaining again? Didn't they get what they wanted? They wanted LVille. They signed a GOR. They could have moved to the B12 and basically guaranteed that conference as the 4th longterm. Why act out in public now?

I noticed posters on the Syracusefan board are starting to be a bit truthful about the ACCN and some ACC fans in general are coming to the realization that it's not what you thought it was. A few like LVille fans think it's the bible and constitution sowed into one but I can't blame them. Community college is a hell of a drug.

I smell movement coming. I actually think atleast 1 p5 school will move. It wil finally expose what a GOR really is and not all the poop everyone talks it up to as. It's a important financial piece, but it's not a straight jacket.

BTW, IIRC, one of the conditions of the B1G NDA was that you couldn't disclose that you had signed an NDA. I guess those guys on the Boneyard blew it.

How does one smell movement?

That being said, The Fishy, who is one of the moderators of their board, is still putting out fuel on this fire. There was speculation that since the original poster has gone into hiding, this fellow named Skiblets, again a poster that others deem to be credible, and a an athletic department insider, that that adds fuel to the fire.

One thing that is interesting, unlike in the Rutgers situation wherein Tim Pernetti told a closed group of high level Rutgers donors about the Big Ten, that thread on the Rutgers board was closed down within hours.

The Uconn one is still up. Some of the board insiders here speculate that what Skiblets posted isn't about the Big Ten at all. This skiblets is a football board moderator, and is close to the athletic program. The Fishy is a long time moderator who also is an insider.

Lol, at the dark matter.

This is my suspicion. Reading between the lines, it appears that the NDA isn't regarding the ACC, because it doesn't relate to any "oceans" or "coasts" or something like that.

So then the group of forum posters flocks to the Big Ten idea.

However, it could just as easily be a move to the Big 12, or more likely, UConn Olympic sports to the Big East with football independence.

UConn would likely make more in the Big East from just its basketball than it does for all sports under the current AAC TV contract. Anything that UConn could get from an independent football contract would be extra gravy. And, may be independent UConn could get Army/BYU treatment from the ACC and SEC.

And, it's not very far from Bristol to E. Hartford.
