UConn likely to accept ACC invite if offered

UConn makes sense. They have competitive athletic programs and ESPN is in their backyard.

Big East becomes the ACC

And now I read that the Smurf Turfers and SDSU are going to back out of the Big East??? Big East may fall apart before it got back together!

New name is the Big ACC.

That is a big duh. As down as I am on the ACC right now, they bring in a much bigger check than the Big East. Projections show Maryland could go from $24 million a year to $43 million a year. Percentage wise, I wouldn't doubt if UConn saw a similar gain from entering into the ACC.

Poor (not so) Big East... last one out the door, turn out the lights.

So, the start of the next shakeup has begun, maybe to end it all with a bang too.

+1, O-6. The Superconferences are coming. ACC will absorb the best of the Big East. The rest will have to root, hog, or die.

Only 22 are in the black according to 60 minutes.

Two, eleven team conferences?

Too simplistic, DC. The Haves will absorb the most desirable of the Have-Nots, and write off their debts while acquiring their TV markets. Andy Staples sees it as nothing more than prudent business practice. Oh, and BTW...Conference Realignment Sucks.

Hey, that's my line! lol

And they throw out that number 16 like it is a magic number but I think the first super that stops at 16 instead of either 18 to 24 will wish it hadn't of.

and to think ND was trying to run away from the big east. hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Hope they do a better job of alignment than the SEC did as they left Alabama with one of the easier schedules each and every year. They skip Florida and South Carolina while playing powerhouse UT each and every year as a rivalry game. Cannot figure how the SEC allowed one of the better teams to get a weak schedule in the SEC. Could payola still exist?

Did you where Ohio State petitioned Obama to pardon them for their cheating sins because they are having a good season? They expect to move to #1 or 2 and play for the BCS Championship? I know Obama has screwed up many times and this would not be the worse but see no sense in a president getting involved in sanctions against a school. Do so and every cheater will petition for a pardon. If he wants to pardon any school it should be Penn State. None of the players, past and present, had anything to do with the sex scandal. So why should the players have to pay for those transgressions? That never did make sense to me.
Cheating and breading rules at Ohio State was nothing new. That was why they got punished. As indicated earlier OU should have sanctioned themselves last year and skipped a cruddy bowl. They assumed they would only get a slap on the wrist being The Ohio State but it did not work out and the bowl ban was for this season.

What the hell? Did Alabama shove a corncob up your ass. Answer this numbnuts: in 2011 and 2012, name the SEC teams that have beaten bama and which division the teams are in. Bama just got thru with their home and home with Florida. Don't you pay attention?
