Big 12 commish/UConn fanboy Brett Yormark signs 3-year extension

[jostar1]

remember, if Rutgers got into the Big 10 with their record thoughout the years, one season record won't make a difference here. Either they want us or don't. The problem was they weren't letting football in until 2031

I don't think it was a problem for UConn; although not desirable. UConn would have taken that deal. Yormark tried to do a work around because of UConn's football record, but couldn't sell the Big 12 Presidents. They didn't see a pressing need to add UConn, especially since they had just added four schools.

Thoughts on some of the messages in the thread…

because of our strength of schedule this year, going undefeated will not get us into the playoff unless we beat another playoff bound team (likely convincingly). There are no obvious candidates on our schedule.

However, if we were to go undefeated in 2026, that actually might get us in.

I think we have to have AT LEAST 8 wins this year to sustain momentum, but next year is our proof of concept year. Is the program improving? Can we put together three good seasons in a row AND do it against good competition? I think if we win 8 games the next two years, that will be huge.

This year is about sustaining momentum. Next year is put up or shut up time.

Also… we need butts in seats. This season’s game vs Duke will be an important indicator for attendance.
