Posters on those ACC Board realignment threads watching UConn get the potential callup...

How about the Ivy League and we get paid in endowment money? Not likely, huh? There is the CAA.

Way to dodge the issue with a garbage reply.

Show me a realistic model where UConn makes more in a 20-team B12 than in a 12-team B12 and then we can converse like adults.

No way. You gotta keep the whole saga here. When we finally get to the BIG in 10 years we print and bind it.

I would buy a copy.

Yeah let's change the rules of an 11 year old thread now!

Actually years ago that rule was in place, right Fishy

Even the media is in on the joke.

My understanding is the B12 can add P5 schools pro-rata, but G5 get lesser shares. The million $ question is if UConn gets P5 $.

KSU reporter suggests UConn approved for full share. Who knows.

The denial is full of holes.

Denial is full of crocodiles...

Not that the poster has much credibility, but over in the non-key tweets, this popped up:

"MH ver3@MH ver3
·-
Bigger news is that Espn and Fox have agreed to pro-rata for UConn in all sports if AZ doesn’t pan out."

If this is accurate, it might indicate UConn is getting P5 treatment for this purpose (as well we should based on UConn's status as the flagship university of a state with 3.6 million residents, no pro sports teams save a WNBA club, and with a ludicrously good basketball pedigree).

Whenever someone acts like ESPN cares about us at all, and that us being in the same state is at all relevant, I take it as a sign that they are just making things up.

It's a commonly held, no 100% incorrect, perception.

I am sure Pat Summit thought we had an advantage. The taxpayers certainly know the truth

I think the difference this time is Yormark.

Sounds like they are using UConn as a threat to AZ. If you won’t join and leave ASU behind we will move on. Just need to give UConn the thumbs up and your chances are gone.

If we want UConn to get a big annual payday, why would we want to split the prize with more and more schools, especially if not in one of the big 2 conferences? There will be a limit on how big of a media deal can be reached by the B12 regardless of how big it might grow, and adding more schools simply dilutes any impact and benefit of moving there. I'm dubious as to whether these last four B12 additions even help the B12's standing vis a vis media $.

My hope is still that there's another solution that works both financially and geographically. I have no idea what that is, but I like having rivalries.

Right now there are two power conferences, two on life support and one that’s teetering on being a hunter after being the hunted.

If any school leaves PAC for Big 12, PAC is dead. Big 12 immediately becomes 3rd Power Conference.

ACC couldn’t be a better example of Shrodingers Cat. It’s alive, but it’s dead at the same time. Once the GOR is open, SEC and Big are going to pluck the value schools.

With luck UConn will have spent last decade building its program and maybe it’s value to Big is finally realized.

If the BIG and SEC are at 20, I don’t see how Big 12 stays at 14 or 16. Especially if it can grab P5 schools with strong AD’s that don’t fit sec or Big geography

Fans of other schools don't get it, or like it, but UConn is an exception because of our brand. And that we were in a BCS conference. Just like we were (are?) an exception in football scheduling and counted as a P5. It is a unique situation because the Big East has been called a P6 basketball conference and we are independent in football.

We have never been a G5 school. We were in a BCS conference, and our athletic budget is on par with many P5 schools. Our academic reputation along with being a state flagship in addition to being in major media markets certainly differentiates us from many schools across the country including many that are currently in the P2, B12, and the little 2.

Can't continue to let the haters define us. Got to market ourselves better. Obviously, Championship is a great is a launching point.
