    FedEx backs Memphis with big NIL

    I'm sure it is only temporary based on current events. They will all be back in the fold.

    I'm pleasantly surprised. Please forward to ACC offices.

    The case for uconn womens bball, for the men's only fan. (It's not what you think).

    Plus she received the Edey treatment by Big Ten officials which she will not get in the WNBA.

    Wild Dreams: The BE Could Kill the ACC

    I remember UConn thrashing them in the Dome one time, but they have been marginally better of late.

    FedEx backs Memphis with big NIL

    The Ivies have billions and billions of dollars and unlimited backing of billionaires which they tend to reproduce. They don't need to play the game. They automatically have branding. No others will catch up to them financially.

    Wild Dreams: The BE Could Kill the ACC

    I live in NYC. UConn alum. More Cuse swag seen here. They have a brand and they have the fans and they have decent football. As disgusting as that all is, I believe if it comes to a point where they need a lifeline they will get it. If Big 12 added Ville and Pitt, they would add Cuse as well...

    FedEx backs Memphis with big NIL

    They are setting Memphis up for an ACC invite. No one seems to want to do that for UConn.

    The Unfortunate Truth of Basketball Success

    Seems like AD Dave has given up on football and thus conference realignment for UConn to a power conference.

    They have a lot of alumni in NYC.

    Wild Dreams: The BE Could Kill the ACC

    I think Cuse has a chance to get the Big 12. They would give them a foothold in NY

    Non-Key Tweets

    But there is no need for them to expand at the moment. When the ACC leftovers become available, it will be a different story.

    Non-Key Tweets

    Clearly, they didn't care when they took the four corner schools and left UConn hanging. I live in NYC and there are a lot of Syracuse people here. The tendency is to take "power" conference members first if they are available. When UCF, Houston, BYU,. and Cinci were added, there were no other...

    How did you become a UConn fan?

    Born a UConn fan. Went to Field House games in the 70's. Lived in the Frat Quad. Not many guys from my dorm went to the games. Different time, I guess. Used to be able to just walk in at game time.

    Big East - Big 12 Challenge Going Away After This Upcoming Season

    I would like to see a totally new conference form. UConn plus former Big East peers and some ACC leftovers. UConn bans BC from joining.

    Hurley's Ego

    And neither are some of us here! For me, he is perfect.

    Non-Key Tweets

    I hate to be this way, but don't believe it. If they really wanted UConn, they do not need to wait until the ACC breaks up. They would invite UConn now. As a matter of fact, they would much more likely take Louisville, Pitt, and maybe Cuse to get the NYC market before UConn.

    They should move the trial to Connecticut! Judge Blumenthal!

    UConn AD returns to Phoenix area, where he once worked for Arizona State (AzCentral)

    I think he has done a great job here. I believe he really tried to get UConn into a power conference but now realizes it is not happening. Can't blame him for wanting to go to a power school.

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Sadly, it has nothing to do with basketball. Only football matters. The thing I don't understand with the new realignment is how the SEC and B1G members reassigned to a new conference feel about getting less money. Also what is the effect on TV networks that fund the conferences. The B1G and SEC...

    Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

    Scary article. All current P5 members and SMU will be in. All others will be out, but may be able to earn a spot if they improve. Bottom feeders in the P5 can continue to be bottom feeders and will be forever safe. Terrible news for UConn. SMU was very smart to get into the ACC even if it meant...

    Fox - Big East exclusive negotiating window

    It is a different world now. All conferences require travel. Arizona will have to travel to UCF and they are not complaining (yet). None the less the Big 12 ship has sailed so you need not lose any sleep over travel.

    The Unfortunate Truth of Basketball Success

    We are all hoping for something like that, but I would not count on it. For some reason, Cuse, BC, Pitt, don't realize that adding UConn would actually resurrect their flailing athletic programs.

    The Unfortunate Truth of Basketball Success

    If you read comments on other media sites, your post rings very true. Perception is always that UConn has been left behind despite basketball success.

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    I didn't mean that the officiating in this game was suspect. I meant that the officiating in the Big East may have made them look better than they were. Next we will see what Creighton looks like

    Tournament (Non-UConn) Thread - Sweet 16

    Maybe when the big east chosen team doesn't get favorable officiating that they get in the big east, they are not so great.

    ACC replacement list: UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Washington State, Oregon State

    I am assuming that they never tried. Maybe they still won't try.

    ACC replacement list: UConn, USF, Memphis, Tulane, Washington State, Oregon State

    I am hoping the credit stays, but I am also hoping CT legislators that support UConn get use it for leverage with ESPN to get UConn into a power conference.

    Big East Statement

    The letter is about as weak a letter as can be written. An opposite tactic needed to be taken. In the new America, one can speak out and not have to bite one's tongue any longer. Take a page from a politicians handbook. The letter should have said the committee is rigged and crooked, it is a...
