all of this makes it seem like the offers to UH and UCF were premature. I don't think anyone else was going to poach those schools before this Pac12 development went down. IMO, Any one of the new 4 schools could have been UConn easily, save maybe cincinnati due to their recent CFP appearance. BYU has a regional argument, but there's no way UH and UCF add more value than what UConn would have. houston/Texas is already big 12 country, and orlando?
happy for them, surely. It's just getting frustrating and sad for this fan. no one wants us.
In light of the big 12 developments, I am starting to get a little nervous about the prospects of Jim Mora staying here, and continuing the difficult task of turning this ship around permanently. I sincerely hope he is here for the rest of his career, but i wonder if he's having doubts, due to his time ticking. Technically if he bailed on us he could definitely pursue his last "big run" of his career somewhere else. But again, those are things only he and Dave Benedict know.
it's clear to me that the big 12 schools still don't believe that we've turned the corner. Now more than ever, we could seriously use a 9 or 10-win season under our belt. Please UConn, kick butt this year.
