Message: [QUOTE="HtownOrange, post: 14189, member: 622"] Let's see: 1) Big East is still together and TCU is coming next fall - no change 2) Texas A&M is leaving teh Big 12 to go to the SEC - change 3) OU and OSU looking west to the PAC 12 - possible change 4) Big 12 leftovers are worried big time - no real change as they were doing the same last year and also once UT announced their LHN 5) B1G 10 states they have no plans to expand - no change, but take it however you like 6) The ACC denies they will expand - no change 7) The Big East is looking for at least one more team to get to 10 - no change 8) FSU has formed a committe to consider options (see OP) - change 9) SEC states they are not rushing to take a team #14. - no change 10) SEC leaks that Slive has authority to explore with WVU and Mizzou - change 11) Big East is still scheduled to negotiate new TV contract next fall - no change 12) Big East turned down $13MM (which is better than the ACC deal and stuill gave every team 3rd tier rights-ACC doesn't) from ESPN for expetected greater increase - no change 13) Comcast acquired NBC and other networks, wants more sports - no change 14) Versus to be rebranded NBC Sports, still wants college football and basketball - no change 15) Marinatto believes we will get $19MM - $23MM in next round of TV deal - no change 16) TV Execs freely estimate Big East will get at least $15MM - $18MM in next deal - no change 17) SEC can expand to 14 or 16. - no change 18) SEC most likely candidates: FSU, Mizzou, Clemson, VPI, UNC, NCState, UVa, WU based on location and markets - no change 19) Texas looking at PAC XX, then B1G 10 then independence. - no change 20) Democrats disagree with Republicans - no change 21) Republicans disagree with Democrats - no change 22) Big East basketball far exceeds ACC basketball - no change 23) Big East football has out performed ACC football since the ACC raid and with TCU coming will rank higher - no change 24) Miami will be down for a long time due to forthcoming sanctions - no change, they've been down since they left 25) ACC is nothing in football if FSU leaves - no change 26) VPI has no real respect outside of Virginia and ESPN - no change 27) If more than one teams leaves the ACC, the ACC football stinks big time - no change 28) If anyone leaves the ACC they could lose their contract 29) No one has offered justification for a Big East team looking at a bigger payday in the stronger conference to join the weaker (and probably soon to be even weaker) lower paid ACC. No change 30) Rutgers still stinks - no change 31) Everyone hates Georgetown - NO CHANGE! Just a quick review, but no changes that make the ACC a destination conference. I don't claim the Big East is a destination conference, but we're already better than the ACC. As to the articles being old news, you are free to contradict the info with newer info, but I have not seen any. I am keeping my arguments in line with the OP. If you wish to deviate, please start a new thread and we can speculate based on your new hypothesis. [/QUOTE]
