Just curious- just how many pro p12 fanboys are regular fliers to locales west of the Mississippi? I do it enough for work to know it’s a serious drag. You don’t want to do it more than twice a quarter. In the p12, all away games have 4 to 6hr flights.

I think this is only true if the Football Playoff Committee has told UConn that independents w/o a Conf tie in (ala like ND) are set to be fully excluded starting in X.

We are experienced in this - see ConFLiCT. We can make a dozen more such unloved trophies.

Our new rivals might be for Basketball: Kansas, Arizona, Houston, maybe BYU WVU and Cincy could have buzz as old conference mates. We'd revive WVU and Cincy. Football - really all schools are on a rather equal footing with no relationships other than WVU and UCF standing out. Houston...

Its a legit question because they are going to take all our $$ in the deal just like the ACC took all of SMU's $$. And there are a lot of B12 haters in CT. They fire up their key boards as soon as Brett looks our way. You dont see it in the Hudson Valley.

What I was told from a good source the first and second time Brett Yormark pushed UConn.

There remains three obstacles to the B12. 1) Getting the B12 holdouts on board...not sure the exact list, probably the western most schools need the most convincing. 2) CT accepting the financial challenge. The B12 fears that when they add us we will suddenly quit funding the deficits and rest...

Right because in reality, we are pretty much a carbon copy of Notre Dame ...just need that little NBC tv deal. Wait, new joke, I think we are the "+" in "G6+"

This was the last hold out from the old days that matters…. Sans WV- but who wants to bother playing them- never been fun. The perhaps bigger news here is that we have Home game vs a power conf team. Duke got some crap for traveling to Hartford last year for a loss…

Seems to be the case. Not that surprised. There also is percentage of kids out there that enter the portal - but later decide to hang it up.

Fascinating. So, just when we thought bowl economics had arrived at cull the herd moment, the system says "not so fast my friend." Is this just ESPN's calculus that any bowl has more value than no bowl or is this local economic development groups pushing for sports tourism? I guess its...

In with Crystal Pepsi!! ...and Crystal Gravy!!!

1/4 closing seem accurate.... could uttimately be a tad higher. I think and overlooked aspect to this entire situation is the fact that in todays highly connected world, you can do so much more than ever with independent learning (hello you tube). The gate keeping power higher ed had on...

It pains me to agree with you....but I do. Strange times. CT would be very smart to get ahead of our modern higher ed realities. We don't need all of these campuses. Need to consolidate.

That WSJ on St Michaels last week was very candid and mirrors the current situation for hundreds of colleges...enrollment declines have started and the snowball is difficult to stop. Meanwhile Northeastern, Vanderbilt and perhaps others will acquire a few of these that have good real estate...
