A sign?
A retweet of a sales guy for an old folks home who moonlights as a caddy having no connection to UConn other than buying a ticket to an occasional sporting event...the crescendo of UConn to the ACC talk is getting too loud to ignore. Looks like the stars are starting to align!
what does he know?
what does he know?
That's his job, tho.Its clear AD Dave is advocating hard for P5
But does he even bother saying that if he doesn’t know something?He's replaying to a tweet that shows we are in a select, 7 school group that has a football team that is bowl bound and Men's and Women's hoops in the top 25.
AD Dave is pointing out that we are the only school accomplishing that with dime store budget.
I think he is monitoring the situation.But does he even bother saying that if he doesn’t know something?
i bet he posted From the cat wash
Omg. Autocorrect is so not my friend tonight…
Sure, he’s got the opportunity to make a case for us. That’s what he’s doing. Essentially, he saying we are already competing at a level that’s at the top of the big boy table even without P5 money. We are a low risk choice.But does he even bother saying that if he doesn’t know something?
It’s just weird to tweet that when all his followers are aware. Seems like a hint.Sure, he’s got the opportunity to make a case for us. That’s what he’s doing.

Plus it probably isn’t making us very popular with Val who is in the middle of trying to sell the league - with us in it - to TV networks.It’s just weird to tweet that when all his followers are aware. Seems like a hint.
It’s marketing for the school, and perhaps for him. If he wanted to tell the fan base, something, he would. There’d be no reason for him to give hints.It’s just weird to tweet that when all his followers are aware. Seems like a hint.
FWIW...Who cares what Val thinks? She knows that if a P5 invite ever comes UConn's way, the Huskies are "gone in 60 seconds". Both Val & the Networks will have that in mind during contract negotiations. It's the media albatross around her neck. The networks will offer low ball figures with UConn's exodus in mind.Plus it probably isn’t making us very popular with Val who is in the middle of trying to sell the league - with us in it - to TV networks.
Given this, either (1) Dave has something definitively working, or (2) he is leaning into a counter-productive narrative because the Big East still cuts our checks. Time will tell which.FWIW...Who cares what Val thinks? She knows that if a P5 invite ever comes UConn's way, the Huskies are "gone in 60 seconds".

Do the Networks and the BE try to force UConn's hand by requiring a GOR for the new contract?FWIW...Who cares what Val thinks?

The networks we're talking about are Fox and ESPN. If UConn had any chance to jump to a P5 the networks would be the first to know since they ultimately have an outsized say in who's in and who's out.Do the Networks and the BE try to force UConn's hand by requiring a GOR for the new contract?
If so, what does UConn do?
