Blauds has a had a source within UConn for awhile now. Off the top of my head he was the first to report that UConn and BC were working on getting the football game back on along the UMass threesome. I'm forgetting quite a few other stories he's led on over our local guys (Did he have the Benedict announcement first too?).With Jacobs backing up Blauds info that Uconn is meeting with B12 Thursday, it appears that Blauds does have a source. Hopefully he is also correct that Uconn is one of 3 with a real shot
He also has had numerous sources within BC up to and including DeFilippo himself when he was there. Most of his BC info at the time he wrote for the Globe came straight from Flipper's mouth.Blauds has a had a source within UConn for awhile now.

Anyone I seem to remember he's broken a good 4-5 UConn stories over the past year or so.
That's where Blauds got his Warde Manuel to Michigan scoop....Flipper was lead on that for the search firm hired by Michigan.He also has had numerous sources within BC up to and including DeFilippo himself when he was there.

Make sure you send your thank you'd to Earde's teammate at UM..Jim Harbaugh and a majority of their former football alumni who are influential boosters. Flipper didn't do anything but interview candidates and run his mouth to his boy!Thus far, I think that worked out well for us. Very happy with Benedict. Thanks Flipper.
You know I feel good for Nova and Wright. They've been decent for a while now. But I kind of dislike having to add that parenthetical to bashing the C7 and friends (aka the lil' East). Agree Nova's legit and GTown has history. The rest? Meh.Fox isn't going to say no to UConn going into the New Big East, thanks to the pathetic performance of the New Big East teams. They want the money. So they only bar between UConn and the New Big East is whether UConn can get a better deal elsewhere, or if they decide they want to slum it with fan-less Catholic schools that never win anything (except Nova, they're legit).
Breaking News: It appears conspiracy kitty has gone off the deep end. Not sure what to make of this recent picture.
Simply stating the obvious. UConn's case has little to to do with recent(immediate) on field success and more to do with the metrics that actually matter. This again is why sports "journalists" dismiss UConn and tv execs argue expansion starts with UConn. There is no chance that UConn will be invited if the Big12 makes judgement off of last week's performance, last year's football attendence, 3 year record, etc. etc. etc. We know that. Presidents know that. Executives know that.

Weird, it's almost as if reporters are willing to write ANY story with an expansion angle thrown in there. It's almost as if expansion articles drive web traffic.
Which Big 12 candidate had the most successful Freshman Orientation?
