The ACC might need us to bolster the hoop conference

[Fishy]

Looks like a bit of a tire fire thus far.

Notre Dame generally doesn't start losing to mid-majors until March = seems they're ahead of schedule.

Given that they panicked and took Louisville to bolster football, it's not out of the question they could panic and take UConn to bolster basketball -- if we win a few national championships.

I think it's likely a number of ACC teams will revert to the mean in terms of performance. They bought high on Pitt, Cuse, and Louisville.

As long as your football team can't win a game you aren't getting invited anywhere, except maybe FCS or division I I

Jim Delany should add Kansas and Uconn. It would forever put to shame all these arguments about the best bball conference.

Indiana, Kansas, UConn, Michigan St., Michigan, Maryland, Ohio State, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Purdue = Game Over

11 schools with good bball.

Iowa as the lone mediocre school in the conference.

Penn St., Rutgers, Nebraska, Northwestern are the scrubs.

I have thought that Missouri and UConn might be the take...only because of the Big 12 GOR.

If Missouri is asked to buy into the B1G like Penn State, Nebraska, Maryland and Rutgers had to, they would lose tens of millions on moving.

The only way Missouri joins is if the B1G offers them a sweetheart deal that was not given to PSU and Nebraska. The annual take for Misouri of $30m would drop to $10m as it gradually rose by 15% over a 7 year span. in the meantime, they could lose like $60 million.

I live in Missouri, they love being in the SEC. Moving to the B1G would only hurt Mizzou and would marginally help the B1G.

I don't know how air tight that GORs are...but most seem to think that it would preclude Kansas from moving to the Big Ten tent in the near future.

It sounds like for the B12 GoR to break they need a number of schools eg Texas and Oklahoma also to want it to break. So it would be a major realignment event.
