hilarious new tweets from whaler's bud mh3,
"But GOR or no GOR the big 12 realizes its not completely safe from expansion. There is still on school with a cheating heart"
"Long term plans for big12 involves expansion but short term 10 is best."
"FWIW the ACC needs only fear the B1G until they have a finalized GOR. Big 12 has no interest in any ACC school at this time"
It has been a really slow morning....plus I think mh3 is totally legit
Actually the WV CR posts are more shotgun than rifle.
I have a feeling in my gut that this will be the final outcome too. Makes too much sense and we fit well with the ACC North Division and would be a logical partner for Syracuse, Pitt, BC or maybe even Notre Dame or Louisville and with Syracuse we strengthen the ACC access to New York in a way that Syracuse alone simply doesn't. As I wrote elsewhere, I heard Tranghese speak very logically about the Big East strategy toward New York which most people don't understand. It is actually not a bad college market but it is a very disjointed market. Gavitt got that and Tranghese, for all his faults, and they were legion, understood it too. You can't get the new York college market with any single team. You need to get it from multiple points, Rutgers, UConn, Syracuse, even St Johns, Notre Dame and Seton Hall helped when they were all a part of the Big East. They all had pieces and they "cross-pollinated" which made it work. If you only have 1 you only have a very small piece of the whole. The Big will lose the Syracuse and UConn pieces. The ACC won't get UConn & Rutgers, all lose the basketball pieces which are more or less scattered to the winds now. The St Johns alum who watches college football is as likely to watch the SEC as the ACC now since he has no conneciton any more for example.
And that's why Big 12 took them. They should have taken both though and we would most likely not been in this mess.
