What a load of . Connecticut doesn't draw fans to their stadium.
Look at average attendance. Higher than everyone the past 10 seasons besides BYU.
So ignorant and just fuels the ESPN anti UConn agenda.
I'm trying to give Dooley a break and going after Trotter for him, the numbers are stunning. Over the period that NCAA figures are easily accessed, 2005-2015@Dooley Go to work.

UConn's lowest attendance(2014) was 12.4K higher than Houston's lowest (2005) and 7.3k greater than Memphis's lowest (2011)
Average Total Attendance over that span
UConn - 35,537
Cinci - 30,288
Memphis - 29,769
Houston - 25,630
USF and UCF do both average more than UConn in that span.

The more and more I listen to these "key-tweeters" the more I recognize that they know very little more than the "non-key tweeters" Like Dennis Dodd's "vision" of Texas hating that they would have to play in front of 27K in November, despite 27K being the LOWEST we've hit in 10 yearsGreat work. Would have taken that hack two minutes to look that up, and it's actually his job.

did you really just post a link to an article from last week that is probably posted at least 50 times in other threads, not to mention the impetus of at least 2 additional threads?Five industry sources weigh in on top candidates to join Big 12; ESPN and Fox not thrilled with expansion talks | SportsDay
"Beyond BYU, a host of schools are clustered, led by UConn, Memphis, Central Florida and Colorado State, in an evolving order."
So if BYU is out, and they expand by 4, it would be Houston, Cincinnati, UConn and Memphis (or less likely, UCF). Not bad but not everyone in the Big 12 will be thrilled with the "city" school additions. At that point, let the AAC replenish itself with 4 new adds, and let them duke it out for the next 2+ spots.
Houston gets screwed, really, by letting UT set up shop in their town. UT-Houston? Really? They could have held out for the ACC. Just my opinion. Only issue would be costs to maintain an athletic department and Houston doesn't have a super donor other than Paul Wall, who donates grills to the coaching staff.
How do you know this? They certainly have had plenty of Texas politicians fight this battle for them. There are probably plenty of UH alumni politicians who can drag this out a long time.
Great work. Would have taken that hack two minutes to look that up, and it's actually his job.
But it is much easier to pre-determine your conclusion and then do (or not do, as it were) the research to reach said conclusion, than to do the research and then draw a conclusion from it.
Media survey: Coogs, 'Cats to Big 12
Big 12 Expansion Survey
(20 media members polled, schools listed with number of votes received)
Cincinnati: 16
Houston: 16
BYU: 9
UCF: 4
USF: 3
Memphis: 3
UConn: 2
Tulane: 1
Seems like 13/20 media members picked only 2 schools. If I were only picking 2, I would not pick UConn as a favorite, either.

If Tulane got a vote then you know it's trash.It doesn't bode well that we got the 7th-most votes, certainly.
I don't know..... I might have to go with PITT football attendance numbers as the all time most bogus. Those guys are shameless. They'll announce a crowd of 48K, 20K of which were disguised as empty yellow seats.USF has the most bogus attendance numbers of all time.
Colonel Klink? I thought it was Sgt. Schultz's catchphrase.Further confirmation of the immense stupidity of the media regarding conference realignment. If nothing else, this process has done nothing but show how little the media investigate or care to know what issues matter, or should matter in conf realignment. How many times have guys like @Dooley or others have to send information like attendance, academic info, TV market info regarding NYC. You name it. I am convinced that many local writers are content to put their knee-jerk uninformed opinions based upon no facts to get clicks or to feather the nest of their local team. It is clear that as Colonel Klink once said, They know NUTING!
