Re Bowlsby's remarks: uhhhh it all sounded pretty good actually. Along with the "electronic footprint" thing, he's been saying all the things we should wanna hear.

Agree, the more they're talking generally about media platforms and new age broadcast possibilities, that plays more into our hand. The problem is, we don't know how much the actual presidents believe these same things. Bowlsby isn't like Swofford or Delany in that what he says is the consensus. The leadership of the conference is segmented among a few of the presidents and the buck does not stop with the commissioner.

Speaking of airplanes. I caught a video of the cockpit of UConn's plane coming back from Dallas. Not sure what to make of it.
Didn't know PP was a musician? He should have stuck to plucking strings.

I was just doing some research and found another glimmer of hope for UConn's chances.

Oklahoma is #1 in the country in number of sonic's per capita, with a obesity rate to prove it. I was looking at current members as well as potential members and noticed that Connecticut did indeed have a sonic. This will certainly help as the Okies and Texans will need a place to eat if they come see a game in Connecticut. Add 1 more and you will be tied with WV.

It's in Manchester, too. Perfectly situated between Storrs and Hartford.

Sweet. Hopefully this was mentioned during the presentation.

Do you have any indian casinos? Those are the biggest tourist attraction in the entire state placed right on the borders to draw in Texans, Arkies, and Missourians.

I can assure you that my knowledge of indian casinos and sonics in Connecticut is nil. But I'm glad to hear that there are some similarities between the states.

I didn't say the name. Sure looked like him though. I'm sure that plane was bound to crash and burn after just a few flights.

Blauds seems to confirm that presentation has happened

It is a two-tiered list: Cincinnati , UConn, BYU and UCF are in the first group and have already been vetted by the Big 12. Their presentations were filled with additional details beyond the basics.

The other 7 schools required more of an introduction and have almost no chance of making the final cut unless some major unknown additions made in their presentations. Most of those schools are being interviewed for political reasons.


- So um is Houston really in the second tier???

Conversely, Austin is home to Whole Foods Markets:
No Whole Foods Markets in Provo
None in Fort Collins
None in Colorado Springs
1 in Orlando
1 in Cincinnati
2 in Tampa

9 in the Houston metro and
9 in Connecticut

Thus, I believe we have identified schools 11 and 12.

I'd posed this in the Key Tweets thread, but I think UCF was a brain fart/type-o for UH. His subsequent sentence that the other seven need "introductions" to the conference makes no sense if he's implying that Houston needs to be introduced to the Big 12 and UCF doesn't. That's fundamentally insane, UH was in the same conference as some of these schools for 20 years, not to mention they're neighbors so everyone knows who they are down there already. UCF is a newcomer to the athletic scene, they'd need to be introduced.

Was omitting UH from his first tier a typo?
See Blauds' comment posted later, in response to a reader comment. The reader points out that it was a mistake to leave out UH. Blauds doesn't state clearly that there was a typo, but he does indicate UH is very much in the mix.
