Guarantee he pulls this move

So whattf happened?

Of course my computer is being stubborn while I try to upload the podcast. He was pretty emphatic that UVa and the B1G have had no contact of any kind. I'll post more later, along with the podcast.

The interview with David starts at around 73:00. Highlights include:
-Says the UVa has "no interest or contact" with the B1G
-The ACC is "actively" engaging in talks with the ESPN about an ACC Network
-The ACC expects at least $1 million more a team due to the addition of ND and Louisville
-ND is not likely to play 6 ACC games as rumored
-He believes Maryland is the exception, not the rule

What!?! Is he trying to shut down this board?!

Wow. 1 million more per team!!! How could UVA and GaTech turn THAT down?

I'm sure they ARE actively talking about an ACC Network...it'll be right next to BEVO's network on your dial.

David Teel: "what I do know, especially at the University of Virginia, is that right now, at no level, is there any interest or any contact with the Big Ten."

In addition to the above points, based on his conversations with contacts at various league schools and within the league office, he believes that UConn, as an ACC candidate, was never ahead of Louisville. He also believes the ACC will not expand unless Notre Dame joins full time. Also apparently used the term "bogus realignment rumors" in correspondence with the hosts.

Oh no, here come the eers en masse to tell us all of this how this guy is full of crap as they continue to defer to the Dude and mvher. Oh the irony. LOL.

Well, David Teel who has 30 years as a credentialed, professional journalist and decades of contacts built up, is obviously either being lied to, is himself a liar, is trying to drive hits to his blog/recruiting site, or is simply an incompetent journalist/stooge.

Those truths can't apply to Dude, Tuxedo Yoda/random B12 handle, Brian Ethridge, Greg Swaim, MHVeer; none of which have predicted a single thing accurately nor have come close to nailing a single deadline that they have put forth. They, you see, have the real "sources" and a thorough understanding of the landscape (insert favorite ignoramic Tier 3, fluid situation, pdf, Tuesday news conference, GOR, AAU, CIC factoid at will).

I have absolutely no idea if UVA really is in communication with the Big 10 or has any interest in it. I am torn as to whether I want us to make such a move. But (1) I don't see why anyone at UVA having these conversations would feel obliged to inform the reporter with VT leanings in Roanoke, and (2) I think that the idea of NO communications with the B1G has to be an overstatement - and if it's not it's negligence by the administration. Even if UVA doesn't want to move to the B1G and even if Teresa Sullivan isn't chatting with Delaney, I'd be shocked if at least Sullivan wasn't casually talking about the landscape with B1G presidents. In this environment you have to know what your options are.

Lets talk about the last point he made in the interview about future ACC expansion. He said they're content with 14 + ND because 16 is still the magic number (in a nutshell). He also said that unless ND joined full time they'd stay at 14.

So as highly improbable as it is, lets say ND joins on as #15 full time. Who then would the ACC target as #16? More importantly, what options would that create for them? Would it put PSU in play? Hell, would it make UMD think about coming back?

I think it would be UConn or Navy (if ND really pushed for them).

Hell, take both of them and Cincy and go to eighteen, then.

(I have never thought that ND would agree to the sixth ACC game, either)

If the ACC landed Notre Dame as a full time member, I think they would look toward other candidates other than Cincy or Navy. But, I don't think that gonna happen anyway.

I agree with that. 6 is too close to 8. I almost think the ACC would have had a better chance of getting 6 from ND if they had stayed at 9 conference games.

I just feel like if you're only 2 games from playing a full slate, then you might as well go all in. If you're 3 away, that's a whole 'nother thing.

I wonder how they are going to rotate it...1 Locked in-(Pitt) and 4 on a rotation?

as soon as anyone at UVA has an interest.

Too bad no one does. Another fake story, move on.

So unless the school's officials signed a non-disclosure deal and are tight lipped this is another WVU induced fantasy. Sure MFer3 and the Dude knows all these inside dealings from mulitple conferences...but why would they know the details but not a peep leaking out of UVA? Why no reports from legit media breaking new info...not just a rehash of the same rumor?

Thanks to VilleCard's Show for scheduling this interview.

If ND goes Full Time, add Navy FB only, Georgetown all sports but FB.

16 in FB, 16 in Hoops 17 total members..then think about offering an associate membership to JHU in Lax only.
