unless espn said take the bigeast main football teams and we will pay 5mil more per every conference member making our contract 24mil/yr

Apparently FSU told ACC add Louisville or we are gone. Addition of UofL and UC cuts legs off Big 12 expansion. Clemson and Florida State going nowhere.

Think the ACC wants to expand to 16, then sign a GOR. Looking more and more likely UL gets into the ACC.

Also hearing people (Blaudschun, etc) tweet about potential interest between the B10 and UConn. We just want ONE liferaft, we don't need two!

Bigger question is what happens to the nBe now?

they reload as long as boise and sd state stay committed they are still better than every other gang of 5 conference.ecu probably will get offered plus 2 western teams

makes sense. Get to 16 and then you can protect from 2 more leaving (i.e. FSU/Clemson) if that should ever occur. BE will still be a glorified CUSA but that should hint for BSU and SDSU to stay in the MW

Won't be enough. The moment they try and get the southern schools to sign a GoR with that line up it will be a no go.

Louisville can buy them time but they cant buy them that much.

Reload with who? ECU? perhaps but there won't be no $6 million for BSU/SDSU so they will be gone.
UCF, USF, Temple, Memphis, UH, SMU & ECU? That is not a league that can survive long term.

VT, FSU, Clemson, GT, UNC, NCSU, UVa probably against GoR as long as the B1G, SEC aren't at 16 plus B12 may have a deal for a few of them if the others bail to B1G and SEC.

I would be kind of weird to see the BE basketball schools agree to stay with the remaining schools plus any two additions. Why would they?

UAB better not get left out of whatever eastern Alliance is left :/

Yep, if this is the route that the ACC is going to actually take then they are absolutely F'd.

give in to byu and then add fresno and they would still make more than in mwc

Won't make a difference who they take unless they get a GOR. They really would have been better off just taking UL.

And as a Big 12 fan I could honestly care less about "losing" you guys to the ACC. If you actually added anything of value you would have been invited months ago.

I can't find that tweet on Miller's Twitter page, and the direct link posted by OrangeCrush gives me a "that page does not exist" error. Maybe it's a problem with my iPad. Can someone verify the tweet is still there?

BSU
