Message: [QUOTE="hardcorehusky, post: 4653670, member: 593"] Thoughts: 1) Currently schools are looked at as P5 and G5. Better to be considered a P vs G in every scenario. 2) The money makes a huge difference. That is for the school. The NIL piece will be even bigger 3) The Big 12 is up for renewal in 2030. The ACC won't be up until 2036 or until the rats jump the ship and will need enough money for exit fees and buying back GOR. Good luck there. So, why should UConn want to give up any money for that to happen. 4) There is no equation between Big 12 and AAC. No one wanted to go to Temple, Tulsa, etc. Replace those with Iowa St and Kansas St. 2 different worlds. 5) We are not a Catholic school and are aLand Grant institution. We belong with other Land Grant institutions. 6) Basketball suffered from a league with no cache (just because Houston was good didn't help UConn). Now pair us with Kansas, etc and tell me how that will hurt basketball. I don't buy the travel piece as an impediment because the last I checked, we don't use trains to get to the next city. 7) Football is the cash cow. Not basketball. You want money, get into a conference that is good in both football and basketball (men's and women's). 8) I still hate Cinnci like I do Seton Hall. I didn't like WVU either just like I don't like Nova. There are some old rivals still in that conference. 9) The tectonic plates will turn every few years for many many years. Going to the Big 12 isn't a death sentence nor locks UConn in unless Yormak wants everyone to sign a 20 year GOR - and that ain't happening. 10) UConn has been in the wilderness and getting back to the Big East is great, but only for basketball and cost cutting. If we get an invite, there are very few reasons to stay if you look at the big picture on what is best for the athetic department. [/QUOTE]
