ACC - ESPN Deal - does it stop conf expansion

[TGHusker]

After reading this article, I have mixed feelings. By the move, the ACC may lock up desirable expansion targets like UNC or GT

from becoming Big 10 members. Here is my rub: The recent expansion of adding Rutgers and Maryland brings us mostly TVs but

not quality football or basketball. I wonder if it is now time to strike the match quikcly and go after 2 other schools who may not be locked up

like this ACC deal - schools that could enhance football and / or basketball:

I think Kansas (basketball) and Missouri (basketball & football - better than Myld football anyway) would be two candidates that I believe

meet the AAU conditions as well.

2 other Big 12 targets would be the Oklahoma package of OU and OSU - not as strong in the academic area but both would bring

competitiveness in both sports and in baseball - and bring the Big 10 exposure south which would help with southern recruiting.

What are your thoughts?

Note: Correction Topic should be ACC TV deal - not ACC - ESPN TV Deal - Basically the schools have to turn over media revenues (ESPN or otherwise) to the conf

until 2026 if they leave the conference.

Maryland had a bball national title in 2002. Id say their bball is at least as good as 90% of the Big Ten over the past 25 years.

Rutgers and Maryland suck at football now but the top 2 players for 2014 are from these regions. Peppers and Hand. It will take time but they will be able to sell better schedules and facilities to recruits(and Big Ten teams can take some of these recruits soon enough as well). They have decent football potential.

Mizzou would be my next guess for a move to the Big Ten as long as they can put their pride aside.

I would take OU. Okie lite has no shot at the Big Ten(which is probably why OU can't come)

I wouldn't mind taking a look at VT, that's probably a pipe dream but it may be worth a shot.

Have you ever been to Maryland? They have a lot of work to do as far as facilities. You would think Under Armor would help them out a bit in that dept.

That's what I meant. the influx of cash will help get better facilities over time.

Rutgers has the worst basketball arena known to man. there are high school arenas that are nicer. more money = better facilities over time

OU and OSU will never become part of the B1G unless they become AAU members. (Association of American Universitites).

Mizzou could join, as they are AAU, but I don't see them leaving the SEC and Georgia Tech is an AAU member, but Virginia Tech is not.

I think if push came to shove, OU would be welcomed despite the non-AAU. But they will not join the B1G without Texas. You can bet on that.

OU would drop Texas like a bad habit. OU is king of the Big 12 conference. they no longer need texas. the only reason why they would still schedule texas so they could continue to play their true rivalry with texas. If the SEC had taken OSU too OU would've been gone to the SEC without Texas.

I would hope you are right but I don't see it. I think OU values Texas more that OSU. They are just stuck with OSU for the sake of the state.

How do you figure this? 14/14 of our schools are AAU members. This could be part of the B1G requirements to become part of the conference. I think Nebraska was in the works with joining the B1G 10, and the only reason we were accepted, was because we were an AAU member.

In fact, Harvey Perlman stated had we not been part of the AAU, the B1G probably would have never invited us.

I doubt the rules would be bent for any other school, if it wasn't for us.

 

[Count 'Bility]

I thought Nebraska's AAU status was revoked shortly after or before acceptance to the Big 10, and that the conference knew it was going to happen going in so it wasnt an issue.

Or is my memory off a bit? I didn't know Nebraska had regained that status.

 

[WoodyHayes1951]

T Boone needs to go away. Okie Lite can join a new SWC or America 12.
