Connecticut. I sat up and took notice with Greenstein mentioned them for the first time. You add another state to BTN footprint. You lock down the eastern end of the NYC DMA. You add a top level basketball program. Yeah, yeah I know, they're not a member of the AAU. Don't care. Academically they're tied with Rutgers at #66 according to US News and World Report. Missouri, which has the supposedly prestigious AAU membership? Number 102. UConn is a large state school and fits the Big Ten mold. They round out the Big Sixteen.

Did some damage over on the Ohio State and Michigan message boards. We will now forever be remembered at the athletic department who should have gotten in ahead of Maryland.
 

This should be posted on the header or tattooed on Warde's forehead. At least we'll get the donut makers support.

Typos!
 
Revenue statistics for 2012 BCS schools, Connecticut is at 64 million (higher than Maryland and RU and NorthWestern) and only has 20% of their revenue attributed to football (while most B1G schools have AT LEAST 30% with some upwards towards high 60's)

With UConn making that much with such a little percent attributed to football I think it speaks volumes in the amount of potential the school has if given the chance with better football games and recruiting if accepted into the B1G. Not to mention the basketball would at worst keep the same revenue and possibly even increase revenue compared to playing in the NNNBE.

Just something to think about.

That's a really nice breakdown of revenue and how it compares to others. Hopefully, the B1G is made well aware of this statistic, as it shows not only what we already bring to the table, but the tremendous upside we have if we are brought on board...
 
I'm all for it. Sweeten the pot ESPN!!

But that would completely destroy one of the Boneyard's greatest pastimes. What would the conspiracy theorists do for fun?!?

Actually, it would finally prove the theory. It would then be called "the conspiracy proof"...;)

Crackpot alert - MHver3 tweets that ESPN is trying to convince B1G to take Uconn and either Cuse or BC as it will keep ACC intact.

Cool as long as it's not BC.
 
Some Michigan fans are in total denial, but I think most are rational about it.

Alert - Alert: @MHver3: I think a lot of you don't quite get how much espn stands to lose from BiG and B12 expansion if they raid the ACC

shows Uconn is by far the biggest fish not in a major conference. Louisville and Kansas are similar models. Kansas is close to 80M with less than 20% from FB.
 
Paul Finebaum had lunch with Delany today and came away with one impression and that was that further expansion was still an active subject with the BIG.

I realize that Finebaum is no faceless tweeter but still its better than nothing.

Alas, the only team he heard mentioned around the IMG meetings was UNC.

UConn and UNC are the two schools that would have two options for conferences. They can go to the SEC. If they do go to the SEC, we probably go to the B1G instantly.
 
so when the acc had its solidarity sign the line for fun thing today i have a couple thoughts
-means nothing. schools wont sign the gor. its all a act. just like ads and pres saying all is good then leaving. its like the mizzu ppl writing a letter aying they are staying in the b12 then leaving soon after.
-why would fsu sign that if it wasn't ok with voting for the 50mil fee?
-notice which school wasn't one of the schools to initiate the letter? all the schools who have had rumors about leaving were brought up as wanting this letter accept uva. hmm
-they had to go so far to get cuse, pitt, nd and lville on it. funny stuff.

the answer? uva is gone, were going with!

I'm pretty damn sure #15 for the B1G is GT and #16 is BC.
