More ACC/Big East merger talk
- Thread starter CL82
- Start date
They will bolt after the 2030/31 season. The exit fee goes way down and the other three P4 media deals expire as does the BE’s media deal.

If it does happen, I hope it's not a merger but simply the Big East taking 2 to 4 of the best ACC teams remaing. We dont need a merger but they do.
Wait, wouldn't that still be "partnering with football schools"? In any event, even after the departure of big hitters from the ACC, the leftovers would probably make more money in a watered down ACC then they would in the Big East.
I don't think the math works, but, again this would be a good outcome for Connecticut because it results in a stronger, big east, and hopefully one with a better media deal, creates other football independents which helps us for scheduling.
For what it's worth Greenberg suggested decoupling basketball from football so that the ACC/Big East merger would be just for basketball and those ACC teams would be part of a separate football conference.
Thanks to Emmert. He's left a big seaming pile of poop everywhere he has ever worked.
Basically, yea. Pitt, VT, Cuse, Miami & BC from the Big East. None of their athletic profiles are where they were when they were in the Big East.
BC was a perennial winner in the Big east mid 80s . Couple sweet 16 with John bagley and co
BC sucked in the big east. I think we beat them something like 27 times in a row. Do they suck more now?
Otherwise, I agree with your point generally. I think you can add Louisville in there as well.
Al Skinner over 13 seasons 247 - 165 from 97 - 2010.
And yet they've never been to a final four. I think our record is 30-4 against them. Shrug.
Not getting to a Final Four is a far cry from sucking. And I really don't care for BC for what it did to the Big East.
I'm just saying. It's a program that did nothing in the big east and is doing nothing in the ACC. Again, I shrug.
Now I may be jaded by the fact that we're 30 - 4 against them.
C’mon CL82. You gotta let this BC thing go. UCONN is doing fine in hoops. Hang on until 2030/31 when the ACC implodes. Then you might get your (diminished) wish.
