All about the $$$$$, obviously.
I'm more ok with Maryland than Rutgers, but whatever.
From "Sources" McMurphy: Maryland prez tells regents MD, RU in Leaders Division w/OSU, PSU, Wisconsin, Purdue & Indiana. Illinois moves to Legends
Also some rumor that UConn to ACC may happen tomorrow.
Yeah, it obviously was about the money from the get-go. Just think of how much more money Big Ten Network could obtain in 2017 with the new TV contract with the Baltimore, New Jersey, New York City, northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C. markets added to the network footprint.Originally Posted by AustinWolv
Told ya. Big East is dead. No way they survive another team leaving. As it is, ACC will probably try to get Cincinnati or Louisville now, leaving the Big East sitting there with no prayer of continuing as a football conference.

This [censored] is getting so ridiculous now its to the point where I'm tempted to just turn off all of sports or watch local high schools. Of course, those kids are also probably already on HGH and/or have a sneaker deal on the down low.

This [censored] is NOT going to stop until we have 4 "super" conferences that control all of major college athletics.
That already seems to be starting without the ACC's help.

Run little doggies, run.
Why the hell would the SEC want Duke and North Carolina? They bring absolutely nothing to the table in football, and outside of Kentucky (and I suppose Florida and Vanderbilt), the SEC is shit when it comes to basketball.No but for me its been a slowly simmering problem that has finally come to boil.

Fuck. Right after Navy decides to finally join up with a conference, this shit happens. Fuck you Maryland. Fuck you Rutgers. Fuck you UConn. Fuck you ACC. Fuck you Big Ten. Fuck you Notre Dame (them joining the ACC is being called the catalyst for the Big Ten expanding again). Fuck you NCAA.
And this shit cracks me up. For as much as the Big East gets bashed on for being a "second-rate" conference and grouped with every other conference outside the Pac-12, Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12, these "major conferences" sure fucking love raiding the Big East for teams to bring into their conferences. "Hey, your conference is a joke and not on our level, but we'll sure as fuck keep inviting teams from your conference to join ours." I'm fucking sick of this shit. The NCAA can go fuck itself up the ass.
Calm down. He wasn't "serious" about that (at least I don't believe so). He was just making the example that everyone is raping each other AGAIN and was just throwing his Dukies in the mix.
He said he had already seen reports of those he listed, including the package deal to the SEC. I just don't see why the hell the SEC would want them and why they would want to go. The ACC is by far better than the SEC in basketball and Duke and North Carolina will never be known for their football, so may as well stay in the basketball haven that is the ACC and have a chance of .500 in football, rather than lose 8-10 games a year in the SEC.
If the SEC raids anyone from the ACC, football would be the driving factor and it'd be any of Clemson, Florida State, Miami (FL), or Virginia Tech, but sure as hell not Duke or North Carolina.
SEC trying to prepare for the NEXT conference re-alignment war when Football is BANNED in America due to concussions/head injuries and thus basketball becomes the cash cow of college sports.
talks between byu, boise state, san diego state, and the mountain west are being held about the possibility of those 3 teams returning to the mountain west.
With some of the WAC teams joining, if those three come back, the MWC will be a fun conference to watch.
If the MWC had already stabilized and was all set without risk of being raided down the road, I'd be tempted as them to say "fuck you" to those teams. The Mountain West wasn't good enough for them a year or two ago, but now suddenly "we love you, we want back in". And like some abused, redheaded stepchild, the MWC will take them back, believing them when they say they're sorry and won't do it again, only to watch them bolt again in a couple months or a year when the Pac-12 once again fails to get Texas and Oklahoma and decides that Boise State is acceptable enough to invite into the conference.
And what's up with BYU? What, going indy wasn't as great and glamorous as they thought it would be?
Utterly fail to understand this one. From my experience, BTN is already on most of the "basic" packages for Northern Virginia anyway. Would imagine it is for most of the DC area. Don't know about Baltimore. I think outsiders are assuming that no one in DMV cares about the Big Ten (which is insane considering the number of Penn State grads here) and that our cable packages don't include it, but that hasn't been my experience at all.
Will make Saturdays interesting though. Does ABC give the regional coverage game for DC/Maryland to the Big Ten or to the ACC? That would be a huge difference, more so than BTN.

Well, I can honestly say I don't know how well BTN is represented over that way, but with these two addititions, it will definitely make BTN a massive presence and player in the NYC, New Jersey, Baltimore, DC and Northern Virigina areas, more so than they may already be.
Finally some good news for the Big East, Boise State and SDSU have reaffirmed their commitment to the Big East. So it's gonna depend on if UConn or Louisville leave for the ACC and who the Big East goes after to replace Louisville/UConn and Rutgers. Right now, my personal thoughts, the front runners for the Big East would probably be Air Force, East Carolina, maybe Louisiana Tech, maybe even go to the Sun Belt and grab Arkansas State? There are still some options for the Big East to pick teams up. Maybe not quite 100% on the same level as Rutgers or Louisville or something, but still good teams.
