Who is going to coach and play in the Big12?

There’s never been an A10-ACC Challenge. You’re probably thinking of the ACC-Big East Challenge that started the whole “challenge” thing.


They did it one year a while back when Shaka was at VCU.

The A10 & Mountain West are finalizing a challenge as we speak. The AAC is missing out on finding a partner

I was hoping that would be the AAC against the A10. Oh well.

Wow.

Maybe all we really need are P6 patches after all.

No, it was most definitely not the first. It started in 1999. The ACC-Big East challenge started in the 1980s.

That was in no way a conference challenge like the others in this thread. The kernel of truth is that the ACC agreed to three years of "doubleheader" matchups at Barclays Center in order to get the A10 to relinquish its preexisting rights to have its conference tournament happen in Brooklyn on the last weekend before the NCAA tourney for 2017 and 2018. But Virginia Tech playing St. Joe's and BC playing Fordham does not a conference challenge make. And then the ACC simply refused to keep sending two teams--which is really bush-league, by the way--so therefore the double-header event ended after one year.
