Why would he think this. The inept ACC hasn't cared about either school for 20 years, Why would they care now?
Because he’s completely full of BS.

I would go as far as to say that Yormark probably regards this as a personal defeat. The Big 12 presidents apparently haven't bought into his vision completely. Instead, they fell back to their old school philosophy that nearly put them in the same situation that the Pac is in today.Yormark is not the problem, he legit sees value in UConn and hasn’t been able to sell us to the presidents. However, having his interest is a good thing for UConn’s brand. Guarantee it raises our stock and perception across athletics (though not enough).
Survival? The people running the ACC are stupid, but i hope they are not blind.Why would he think this. The inept ACC hasn't cared about either school for 20 years, Why would they care now?
I mean you clearly don’t know anything. No better than The Dude of WV, MHver, Flugar, Swaim and on and on. Feel free to post, we are aware you have no real insight into anything - you just have opinions like all of usOkay. I won't post anymore.
So, you believe that taking a dump on the one commissioner who has actually championed your school in order to chase membership in the conference that has both a guaranteed expiration date and a history of screwing you over like none other is the right move?Maybe he goes Memphis then? UConn should tell the big 12 to go f off and start working out some type of arrangement with the ACC. The big 12 layed out their long term plan. Make them regret it for not executing it.
"Key tweets and everything's coming up sunshine and daisies?"Maybe our mistake was posting about all of this in a thread that says it's all gone to hell. We preemptively made it all go to hell. Need a more optimistic thread title IMO.
DePaul????DePaul for Chicago even though they stink. Creighton for Nebraska. Others have value.
It's worth a shot?"Key tweets and everything's coming up sunshine and daisies?"
I keep seeing people say some sort of version of this, but it doesn’t make sense to me. Imagine you are a board of directors and your company is looking for a new CEO. Would you hire a CEO whose vision isn’t aligned with the board member’s? Especially one whose vision is radically different than the boards? Makes zero sense to me.I would go as far as to say that Yormark probably regards this as a personal defeat. The Big 12 presidents apparently haven't bought into his vision completely.

Maybe the B12 did have a plan to add us. I always said B1G can step in at the last sec to screw everything up, and they did.He’s completely full of it. If that last little nugget didn’t make that evident to you then I don’t know what to say.
But it can happen; misalignment of the CEO and board. And things change.I keep seeing people say some sort of version of this, but it doesn’t make sense to me.

To block the Big 12 from the northeast. Phillips even said some expansion could be done to block another conference. The Big 12 can't add 17 and 18 without a new media partner.Why would he think this. The inept ACC hasn't cared about either school for 20 years, Why would they care now?
You are always welcome here. Don’t let the scorned bother you. Appreciate your insight and perspectiveOkay. I won't post anymore.
If any mod wants to do it feel free. I think you'd have to be either at Tom or Fishies level though.It's worth a shot?
My apologies for coming across snarky (I'll also apologize in advance for comments to come) but your statement on resources was very out of touch.Haha! I buy tickets. I go to games.
That’s my support. I’ll leave the donations to alumni.
That said, just bought 5 tickets for NC state game. Let’s go!
log offWhy are you saying football has to be degraded if separated from basketball? UConn has already done said separating and under Mora is currently on the rise. Our weak link over the past 10 years has been football. Why not bet on ourselves with Mora and see where it leads to? It's the best long term play we have. It's quite possible the BE becomes a G5-like basketball conference due to conference consolidation driven by the media companies (see OBE and PAC), NIL that the BE's smaller schools can't keep up with, etc.
How about, "It's the Great Realignment, Charlie Brown"?Maybe our mistake was posting about all of this in a thread that says it's all gone to hell. We preemptively made it all go to hell. Need a more optimistic thread title IMO.
Guess they are out of luck then and lost the east coast. That is if the ACC wakes up and goes into survival mode.To block the Big 12 from the northeast. Phillips even said some expansion could be done to block another conference. The Big 12 can't add 17 and 18 without a new media partner.
Many here appreciated your posts so please continue to do so.
Okay. I won't post anymore.

It's so nice to have someone who actually remembers what happened with the whole Patriots to Hartford move. It was in all the papers and happened just like FfldCntyFan said but there are always so many "Kraft screwed Hartford" revisionists out there...The CT Legislature fumbled the Patriots to Hartford move...Kraft was serious about the move. Tagliabue was furious when he found out (they had recently lost both LA teams) and while Foxboro wasn't Boston, he didn't want the NFL having to explain moving from Boston (even though a study showed that Hartford was closer to more season ticket holders than Boston was).
The locals didn't have their act together well enough when they made their pitch and didn't realize the amount of work necessary to resolve the underground steam pipe issues that would delay construction. That opening gave Tagliabue the opportunity step in.
