    Thank you, UConn Fans.

    I thank you as well for hosting a forum in which non-UConn fans can discuss conference realignment and share their perspective on the possibility of UConn joining their conference. An article discussing the 2016 Big Ten basketball media days in Washington D.C...

    Actually the B1G will start a 9 game schedule for the 2016 season and beyond as of now. Here is the Ohio State schedule as an example. 2016 Sept. 3 Bowling Green Sept. 10 Tulsa Sept. 17 at Oklahoma Sept. 24 Off Oct. 1 Rutgers Oct. 8 Indiana Oct. 15 at Wisconsin Oct. 22 at Penn State Oct. 29...

    The plan for the B1G is to eventually go to 9 conference games. If B1G expansion to 16 happens then with 16 teams you will have likely have 2 divisions of 8. You play the 7 teams in your division every year and then 2 from the other division rotating each year so you face each team in the other...

    It is difficult to envision a Mizzou move from the SEC to B1G and at least some fans of OU will say one of their nightmares in CR is a move of OU to the B1G with Oklahoma State and/or UT to the SEC and loss of Texas recruiting grounds.

    I can see OU and KU as candidates for the B1G but not any other "TX team" out of the Big 12 except for UT.

    During Realignment, Four Others From Big 12 Took a Look at Big Ten Switch

    I found this passage in the article of interest. " The topic: Was the Big Ten, which had 11 members at the time, interested in adding five Big 12 schools? The feedback from Big Ten school officials was positive, both sources said. The sticking point was devising a revenue-sharing plan to satisfy...

    He did although he mentioned it more as a personal opinion rather the perspective of the B1G. “My view, very candidly -- and I’ve said this to you before and I’m not certain if [athletic director] Gene [Smith] shares this, we haven’t really talked about this -- but I think we’re moving...

    Yes, Delany talked about it but it sounded less like an endorsement and more like him questioning the wisdom of the idea. That has created some confusion about what, exactly, the endgame is to all this. "I'd like to know what it is people want to do," Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany said. "I...

    Forgive my ambiguity here, reputable source: UConn making earnest P5 Push

    It would be consistent with the modus operandi of Delany and the B1G Presidents and Chancellors to communicate with Herbst and others at UConn about B1G membership with a non-disclosure agreement in place similar to their experience with Maryland. It appears to me that Herbst is positioning...

    It aint so. I still think you guys are a good fit for the B1G. It was more just in response to the tweet from the well dressed and perhaps drunk jedi master about Big 12 expansion and for the sake of conversation accepting his tweet as a possibility. I always thought a Louisville, Cincinnati...

    I think it makes sense for the Big 12 to expand their footprint and number of teams provided per team payout remains the same. It is unfortunate that common sense cannot prevail in this scenario: Louisville, Cincinnati, UCF, USF to the Big 12 and UConn to the ACC. Big 12 at 14, ACC stays 14...

    I apologize. It is not my intent to screw with you. I see UConn as an excellent candidate university for the Big Ten and the goal of the conference to expand to the East and wanted to let you know that this opinion does exist among some of us. I regret I have been salt in the CR wound for some...

    UConn/ACC

    I'm More Convinced Than Ever: UConn & UVA to the B1G

    Absolutely I think the Big Ten leadership should consider the degree that a given school wants to be in the Big Ten. The longevity and success of the Big Ten as a conference is built upon the foundation of the schools being an academic and cultural fit with one another and having a desire to...

    I'm More Convinced Than Ever: UConn & UVA to the B1G

    I appreciate a Big 12 perspective. What is your take on the political issues with OU-OSU and KU-KSU? As an outsider, it has been my understanding that these schools (OU, KU) are not really separable from their instate rivals.

    I'm More Convinced Than Ever: UConn & UVA to the B1G

    I have a difference of opinion. Yes. Delany would like UVA and UNC to join the Big Ten. However, I do not think Rutgers and Maryland were fall back options. Rather, Rutgers and Maryland have been on the Big Ten radar for some time and were the next step in Big Ten expansion.

    For the sake of discussion, let's assume this is not a moonshine enhanced tweet. If a ND move to the ACC full time were in progress, then it would prompt Delany to go back to the B1G Presidents and Chancellors and open expansion discussions. Delany has talked over and over about how changes in...
