Big 12 'likely' to be able to have championship game without expanding, per source

[UConnStats]

just got a text that this is all a ploy to get us at a reduced price.

With all due respect, is this credible?

You should enjoy some D2 or D3 school. More stable.

Just root for Harvard. It has more money, by far, than anyone else and since that seems to be the name of the game, it's a win every year.

I don't get it. Conferences and programs made all kinds of moves partially due to the 12 team, 2 division requirement. This opens the door to every conference asking for special exemptions to their benefit and if they are denied...it is just a bad precedent. I bet each G5 voted for it to protect themselves, added to the 4 votes between the B12 and ACC, that is at least 9 of 15 votes.

"The ACC and American Athletic Conference voted against the compromise, which has been viewed as acceptable by the Big 12. Initially, the ACC and Big 12 wanted full deregulation of the rule, but there weren't enough votes to get it passed."

there is no need to get us at a reduced price. We have zero leverage anyway. Are you talking a pity expansion?

I've been following conference realignment since the first ACC raid and it drove me out of my mind. After UL took the last spot, I keep checking this board for news but I don't know why. We will be playing football in the CAA in 10 years.

Yeah, Warde went rogue.

"Wait, this wasn't an anonymous ballot?"

Or Yale. Why are you suggesting Harvard?!

Warde voting with the ACC.

Enowment only. $38 billion to $26 billion.
Even if UCONN got an extra $25 million a year, it would take 1,520 years to accumulate that much cash. Ridiculous.
