Maybe not. The B10 might be a possibility for a school like UConn.
Possibly...but there would be no #16 now that Kansas is locked into GOR and ACC schools are locked in GOR.
Plus the B1G has no real interest in Connecticut from what I have heard.
Time is yours UMass. Get your act together so it wouldn't be an absolute embarassment to invite you. We need a rival.
I wish that we didn't get Tulsa so quickly. I really don't think that Navy is coming or if they do, they won't stay long. UMass, Charlotte, GSU, and UTSA could be players by 2015. UMass and Charlotte would really help us in bb.
With this news out of ACC today; you can go ahead and take every school off that list not named UMass. Army is a long shot, but ODU, UTSA, GSU and Charlotte are way, way, way, way down that road.

Basically if you leave a conference your TV revenue (from your new conference) is owned by the conference you left.

Do everybody here a favor and stfu about these schools (sans UMass).
+infinity.
As a Texan that knows all about UTSA, I want nothing to do with a glorified juco that exists solely to give UT rejects a last ditch effort to backdoor their way into a real school.

They can STFU about UMass, too. No need.
You can find the flagship university of a state with a population of 6.6 million and an enrollment of 30 K someplace else?
If they had your kind of thinking, the B1G would never have added Rutgers and probably not Maryland either. But they think long term, which is why they

Whatever. They stink. They're in a small market and their leadership thinks small. They've had how long and they can't support a football program? Some flagship.

RE: ACC grant of rights
So if FSU leaves to go to the SEC. The ACC gets the 20 million a year or so that the SEC TV contract would give them and FSU doesnt get anything.
Is that right?

My prediction ... BYU and Cincinnati to the Big 12 and UConn to the ACC. Then it's all over with.

As long as Texas calls the shots in the Big 12, none of those schools you mentioned except maybe BYU will even sniff an invite to that conference.

Theoretically, yes. What it really means is that FSU would have to buy out their remaining years of their share of the conference media deal.

If thats our future grabbing or not grabbing Tulsa would hardly be a major factor.

None of what you said matters one bit. If you had to bet on who the next member of the AAC might be; I would certainly hope that you would have the good sense to put UMass in your top 2 choices (Army being the other, because they are almost a lock now considering that UConn and Temple are probably going to stay put for a little while. IMO those schools will not support inviting any more more southern or western schools unless UMass is invited too.

The ACC isnt going to want UCONN bc it will reduce everyones turn to play ND and would essentially force ND into a division.

And Tulsa with an enrollment of 3,000 and football attendance of 20,000 which is hardly better than UMass + non-existent basketball attendance was a better choice? At least UMass offers something you can build toward.

After a few 3-9 seasons they could very well fnd something better to do. If after 3 or 4 3-to-4 win seasons, 35K a game are still there, then maybe they will be worth talking about. Right now, its all too new and unpredictable. Frankly, I think Texas State is the better long term bet. It sits between two large metro areas, it has a larger enrollment, and a suitable on campus stadium. Its in a beautiful college town--but within an hours drive of San Antonio and Austin. Put them in a decent confernece, and they could draw on alumni from two nearby major cities.

Exactly. this GOR is good news for most of us. It's really bad news for Cincy & UConn. Also, the Big 12 has stated about 1,000,000 times now that they're very happy at 10 members.

I don't think that is what it means. I believe it means that the ACC would own the broadcast rights to FSU's games, not to their conference games. And yes, buying out those rights would be one way to handle it.

It's about leadership more than anything. ECU is in a small market, but their leadership thinks big and it shows. They're dedicated to building a good program and they're a welcome addition. UMass does not have that leadership. They think small time and have little interest in building their program.
Oh and BTW, Southern Miss and Army would be my two leading candidates for expansion.

RE: ACC grant of rights
Cool then.
I like this conference just the way it is right now.
Ive said this a ton. Being in a league with Cinncy, Temple and UCONN is something most Tulsa hoops fans couldnt even fathom when we were stuck in the post airport WAC.
Im sure the reverse sentiment is true for most UCONN fans and to a lesser extent Cinncy fans but this conference is a huge step up for the CUSA 7 that just came in.
