You are being silly Ralph and also you are horrifically wrong as usual when it comes to realignment. The big east is dead. Uc and uconn are gone to the acc after the b1g, b12 and sec raid the acc. Uc told tuberville and are telling recruits quietly that they are confident uc will be in the acc. Uc will be fine. The big east on the other hand is now Cusa v2.0
It pays better than the Mountain West.
The Big 12 has no plans to go beyond their current membership of 10. All ACC members have pledged to remain in the ACC, so it could very well be realignment is over with.
How did the Big East die when the Big East will continue on with UC, UConn, USF, Houston, UCF, SMU, Memphis, Boise, San Diego State, Tulane, and East Carolina as members?
The Big East was the 6th best football conference before realignment and will be the 6th best football conference after realignment.
The new BCS beginning in 2014 guarantees a spot in one of the 6 BCS Bowls to the highest ranked team not in a Power 5 Conference, which 8 out of 10 years will more than likely be a member of the Big East.

Michael DeCourcy is hearing wind of a "transcontinental conference" involving the Big East rejects as well as UNLV, BYU, and New Mexico. Also said that these developments could leverage ACC to move for UCONN and UC sooner rather than later.
Obviously biased, but I think the ACC needs to make a move and fast. If the Big 12 decides to expand and take UC and UCONN then there's not much left. Then when the B1G and SEC start picking out Clemson, GT, Florida State etc. they will be in big trouble. Who will they turn to then? Memphis? Temple? USF? They need to secure themselves by taking basically the last two commodities.

This could be a nice power move by UC and UCONN. Force the hand of the ACC and even if they don't succumb to the pressure UC still lands in a decent football conference and a strong basketball conference.

Rule 1 in negotiation: Turn your weaknesses into a position of power whenever possible. This is brilliant by UC and UCONN. They have nothing to lose by doing this.
That's what I'm saying. There is plenty more action to come and while it may seem like UC and UCONN are "out in the cold", this could easily turn become a situation where multiple conferences are trying to get us.
With everything that is happening at UC, our leadership, and the way this is looking to shake down, I'm very confident we will end up in a good situation. As Santa Ono tweeted this morning: "Stay calm. Believe. All will be fine."
"In order to form such a league, however, UConn and Cincinnati would have to make some sort of profound commitment -- perhaps even a “grant of rights” similar to the Big 12’s, meaning they’d lose their media revenue for the length of time if they leave -- to convince the Western schools involved that they would not exit immediately if invited to join the ACC."
What length of time is this referring to?

Not sure about this specific one but the B12's is 12 years I believe. I highly doubt it would be anything less than 5 for stability sake(But that is pure speculation on my part)
What we have to worry about is the ACC not taking teams right now, UC joining this new conference, signing the GoR for an extended period of time, and then hearing the ACC is adding new members. That would be disastrous

When the grant of rights is agreed to, a time frame is agreed on. Could be 5 years or 10 years, etc.
Wow! Dogs & Cats working together.

I know that Pitt, Syracuse, Louisville and Rutgers have one foot out the door, but aren't they still members of the conference and therefore would get a vote in this as well?
And as much as this sucks for UC, this makes complete sense for the bball schools and I think adding X, UD and Butler will make a very good and exciting bball league. Also, you think Notre Dame is regretting it's choice to align with the ACC now? This would be the perfect scenario for them as a league as well. Less travel and wouldn't have had to commit to five games a year vs. the ACC in football.

It is official, the 7 schools are withdrawing, effective june 15th, 2015
Once you declare you are leaving, you do not get to vote on conference matters.

So what's next for uc
Keep moving forward actively trying to get in ACC or Big 12. We still have another year before the conference ACTUALLY falls apart.

Uc is not getting into the big12. It's acc or bust
That is great, UC, UCONN, and USF can vote to split all the money among the 3 of them. What a good down payment on Nippert expansion.
