Peacock is awful. Living in B1G country and had absolutely no idea when any B1G team was playing on Peacock and I know a number of others felt the same, even with the teams they follow. At least flipping channels on TV I'd find a random watchable game on BTN once and a while. Turner is buying...

AAU was never a requirement. I have no idea where that even originated from. Michigan State did not join the AAU until 8 years after it joined the B1G.

...their own media/tv platforms so they can print more media money by being the distributor/sell their own advertising? Might this help close their B1G/SEC revenue gap moreso than any other move they could make? If they were ultimately to do this, then it could make UConn even more attractive...

Reed. Not saying Johnson won’t have a great season as well, but I think people are sleeping on a guy who had 9 PT, 7 REB and 1.5 BLK per game in the B1G last year as a sophomore. He’s going to be more than a backup.

Danny will have enough juice to get the B1G tournament booked in MSG if he wants ;)

...athletics like name, image and likeness (NIL), revenue sharing and conference realignment. Are the Wildcats going all-in? Notice conference realignment is part of his new job. Why would a B1G school need to keep up with conference realignment unless the conference is planning to expand...

...other than the ACC GoR ever dreamed it could hold its members together. If there ever were a day Utah, Kansas, Arizona, etc. were wanted by the B1G or SEC, this would severely complicate matters. Those schools would be fools if they agree to this. Just like FSU, Clemson, etc. were fools...

All-B1G second team player. Good balance of offense and defense. She'd be in the mix for at least All-SEC HM.

Props to Painter, he has taken over from Izzo as the top B1G coach.

It would be foolish to launch your own media/tv platform in today's world. When the BTN launched, they had a strong linear media partner, FOX, that helped them gain distribution. Same withe the SECN with ESPN. The Pac 12 tried to go it alone with the Pac12N and failed miserably. Look at all...

I wonder what would be an all-time high. "UConn added as newest B1G member"

What if this is UConn's turning point? Baseball wins the WS which carries over athletic moment into football and we go undefeated, getting an invite to SEC because they want to get into B1G territory for TV.

...season where we had a team that could have made an argument for deserving a bid. Additionally, with secondary P-2 and P-4 schools, there would need to be some rare opening where they coould not justify overlooking us for what would be the fifth best SEC or B1G team or third best ACC or B-12...

...Dame, for example, has an enviable reputation, but it has a puny research portfolio. Kansas is often mentioned as a possible candidate for a B1G invitation, but I can't imagine that the B1G would opt for another school with questionable academics and relatively low research activity from a...

B1G teams released their volleyball schedules. Once again, travel is well thought out and minimizing the negative effects on student athletes. As in other non-football schedules announced so far with 20 conference games, the former PAC schools will play home and home against each other and...

I don't think the AAU cares about USN&WR ranking, especially for state universities. Kansas is a fine university that is mandated by its state to do admissions in a way that isn't favorable for USN&WR ranking. It is very comparable to UConn on nearly every other metric. Notre Dame per the chart...

...stadium/fan base in Dallas did). Which would've been a hell of alot cheaper and been a way better long term investment than some on-campus stadium that's never gonna happen. ( at least until we get in the SEC or B1G, which is a nice dream too ;)) SMU Pays Way Into ACC With $200M From Boosters

AAU may not have been a technical requirement, but it was a de facto criteria because of academics and research. It seems the Big 10 only invited AAU members because they fit the CIC mold. "While academics have always played an integral role in the conference, presidents of the Big Ten member...

Edit: I looked at the dates wrong. The Friday/Sunday games are actually Thursday/Saturday games. So that does in fact mean 10 missed days of school total.

This is not the reason Rutgers was added to the B1G, but one other advantage Rutgers has over UConn is recruiting. There are more 4-star football players in New Jersey than there are in Connecticut. New Jersey was a contiguous state to the B1G, as it boarders Pennsylvania. Until this year...

...key/monumental, it is only natural that posters want to immediately respond to what they just read. If a future key tweet was "UCONN TO THE B1G IMMINENT" how many would honestly not immediately respond to that post? Would you realistically be like, "yeah that is a key tweet! I will now...

...its regular season, playoff system, and rights to the best broadcasting time slots. TV slots with major national viewage will be almost all SEC/B1G...The Big 12 and ACC remainders may get primarily streaming (and maybe regional at that). The hegemony is starting this fall ... the Big 10 is...

...flagship AAU member of the 11th most populous state bordering NYC. It doesn't matter if the athletics are mediocre, or bad, or historically bad. B1G programs need Ws whether they come from rutgers or indiana or illinois, and even rutgers athletics will improve after years of B1G $$. rutgers...

I don’t care what you think. This thread is 13 years old. How is it impractical? Post this somewhere else.

Day 1: Future P2: 4-1 (Future SEC 3-1, Future B1G 1-0) Other: 0-3 (Future ACC 0-2, B12 0-1)

Meh, the leverage angle is not untrue but at the end of the day UConn only has so much money. We can’t match SEC or B1G teams let alone the freakin NBA. There’s a max we can pay him & commit to NIL and I’m sure we’ll offer every penny of it. Danny can make a lot of money long term at UConn...

I just read through the series of articles on the 10-year anniversary of Rutgers getting into the B1G. Pretty interesting read. Rutgers is still paying the B1G back for its loans and will not have everything paid back until 2027. However, they are inching closer and closer to receiving a full...

...it’s about having seniors graduating on time or anything to do with academics. It’s all about money and baseball in June will draw huge crowds at B1G campus sites. Look how many Nebraska fans showed up for the B1G championship game this past Saturday. There is demand and that means revenue to...

For Hurley? I mean he has baseline standards. He had offers like Rutgers a B1G school which is scant miles from he and his wifes home before he took UConn. They are Jersey people. They passed, but they didn't pass on UConn why do you think that is? Could it be that he wants to identify with...

B1G released its women’s soccer schedule. Each school will play 11 of the 17 other schools. The PAC schools all play each other, leaving 4 home and 4 away games against the rest of the conference. Teams have travel partners. So Washington, for example, will have 2 trips east to play 2 teams...

Why would the B1G want a school in a state with less people than CT?

Beating Maryland isn’t going to get you into the B1G but it will open some eyes . I just hoping for create interest from both the ACC and B12 which puts into a position of strength not the hat in hand begging posture we normally take.

Rutgers started planning, then lobbying for a B1G invitation two decades prior to receiving it. Yes, they were very fortunate due to location and timing but it wasn't something that fell into their laps while we were out working them for the same goal. Yes, New Jersey being a quality...
