Someone confirm?

[jslack03]

I have a friend that is very close to the UConn football team that has a "source" that Pres Herbst was on a plane late Monday night to Chicago to meet with the B1G..... Can anyone else back this rumor up??

I'm sorry if this sparks an irrelevant thread....but thought it was worth posting......

According to someone on the realignment board, she was on his flight to Chicago. We might have known more, but the gentleman decided that his personal comfort was more important than our need to know and he lost track of her when he went to retrieve his luggage.

However, a lot of people fly to Chicago and some of them are university presidents - most of them are not heading there to talk to the Big Ten. I would not spend a lot of time worrying about this one.

If she was then they are now telling her she need to hire a football coach who can win a game and make them respectable again. For now they would be laughed out of every B1G building including Indiana football........doubt they need that in their league.

But, but, but there was the Michigan game.

There was this tall, bald guy, who high fived her and muttered something along the lines "about time you fire that guy who still thought he was coaching football in 1986".

Explain Maryland while they were negotiating entrance.

Can you expound on your friend and his "source"? Was his source the Boneyard Conference Realignment board or inside the football program/athletic department?

I've flown to Chicago hundreds of times... and not once was I actually going to Chicago. I've gone to Chicago though... but only while driving to someplace else... but made a point of spending a couple extra days in Chicago.

No I think it was the one in Wisconsin.

I know, I am a real jerk

That game proved UConn would easily succeed in such a conference. We'd sell out if we were in the SEC.

Seriously? There was a time, not to long ago, when you would have kept this guy on the hook for a few pages while plying him with vaguely plausible scenarios. What the heck happened to you?

Unless....something is going on and you are deliberately misdirecting him to avoid premature attention to it.

"....avoid premature attention to it."

This is a very prudent strategy.

Under Armour

And just think how much more valuable Oregon's stock is with Nike and Phil Knight by their side.
Shoe companies seem to be running college hoops more than the NCAA. That's what is radically changing the collegiate athletic landscape more than anything else.

Del-Mar-Va HS Football....and TV sets.

Fair enough, WestHart...just didn't want anyone to be disappointed!

Well, some people just have to ruin everything! Basstid...

Great! Another CIC/B1G connection!

But, nah, she's totally meeting with Mr. B1G... we're going B1G!
