Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Hilarious. Like we would do that.

Hilarious. Like we would do that.

If you think the big 3 conferences are going to take over the NCAA tournament, and they guarantee a number of football games (which presumably we can parlay into a TV deal) you’d have to strongly consider it.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Basketball only? The joke keeps getting better. So sick of this crap.

 

[RioDog]

Yuck Formark- no hoops w/out FB- if if its that important then he can bring FB along too.

 

[uconnric]

Hilarious. Like we would do that.

We’d need a clear path for football also.

 

[ConnHuskBask]

This x 100.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

B12 really expect Uconn to pay $30m to exit the big East for basketball only?

 

[aburks41]

Any insight on the future?

Nope. I didn’t ask and I can guarantee they wouldn’t say anything to me about it. But yeah, Brett Yormark fooled us once. Shame on us if we let him fool us again with this new talk of 18 teams. Because he will absolutely screw with us once again

 

[HuskyHawk]

Hilarious. Like we would do that.

Wonder if we’d do it for say $10m a year and a football scheduling deal that gave us 4-5 games a year. A “lite” version of the Norte Dame deal.

Take our chances. That offer will come again when he comes back for St. Johns (NY market), Georgetown (DMV), and Villanova (Philly).

We'd turn that down

 

[shizzle787]

Oh no

Cal and Stanford.

Nope. Non starter.

 

[That Guy]

We might not get football membership right away, but we could probably get a scheduling alliance with Big 12 schools and if we perform, I could see us getting a football invite in the future. Take what you can get at this point. It's survival of the fittest.

 

[shizzle787]

No interest in that garbage.

 

[HuskyHawk]

We'd turn that down

Really? To make $5m in the Big East and struggle to schedule games? With 5 Big XII games our FB TV rights would probably go up significantly.

Note: I read basketball only as all Olympic sports. So baseball too.

Hah. Love it. New mantra:

YUCK FORMARK!!!!

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Nothing is stopping the B12 inviting us as #17. What difference does it make 17 or 18 or 20 at this point?

As long as we can jump to the ACC with no penalty when the time comes.

We use them. They use us. Neither one cares. We'll be gettin our share.

If they pay us $25mil a year for it maybe. If the money is even remotely close to Big East money it's a non starter.

 

[CTBballfan243]

You take anything to get a foot in the door. I’d rather play Kansas, Arizona, Gonzaga, Kansas State, ASU, Cincinnati than Seton Hall, Providence, Georgetown, St. John’s.
it would need to include a scheduling alliance for Football. Plus we would need to see if our other sports are included

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Yall realize there will be 3 conferences on TV and competing for titles and the Big East ain’t one of them?

I’d take it

 

[HuskyHawk]

Gotta love this from ESPN: "The four schools in the most precarious situations are Cal, Oregon State, Stanford and Washington State, all of which are without a natural landing spot that would ensure their long-term stability."

Apparently, these same people don't care about UConn's long-term stability as the same advised not to move to the B12.

What's next for the Big Ten, SEC, Florida State, Notre Dame and remaining Pac-12 schools?

Following one of the most historic days in conference realignment, here are the biggest questions facing college football moving forward.

As I said before. You are in the club or not in the club. We are not in the club. So we don’t matter. This is why you have to get in the club, because even the dregs of the club are perceived as superior to those not in it. It functions more like a monarchy.

We would decidedly not be in the club if our football is left to rot.

F the big 12 for even throwing this out there.
