Valid point. We also have a dairy farm on campus, much more a cultural fit than people realize.

Someone needs to make sure the right people see the UConn From Above video.Valid point. We also have a dairy farm on campus, much more a cultural fit than people realize.
I don't. I know Mr. Manuel arrived at a really bad time, but I just feel that he could have done better before leaving UConn in the dust.
This is always my thought when people bash Warde. He was so bad that a top 5 athletic program wanted him at the helm.Did you get that feeling before your ROI on Manuel's phone log or after? How do you even know (or anyone know) what Manuel did behind the scenes? He was so bad Michigan figured "What the hell, let's give Warde a shot. Nothing to lose"

Because, it seems, they are contractually obligated to.So does the "why would ESPN pay more for schools they're already getting for cheap" argument actually hold any water? Assuming, of course, that ESPN would be the network that the Big 12 tries to get a network out of? Never heard a good counter-argument.
Seems to make sense. Why would ESPN pay more for schools when they already own their content?
They've done it for other schools.So does the "why would ESPN pay more for schools they're already getting for cheap" argument actually hold any water? Assuming, of course, that ESPN would be the network that the Big 12 tries to get a network out of? Never heard a good counter-argument.

because for the first two schools added they have no choice thanks to the pro rata clause in the contract after that they would have to negotiateSo does the "why would ESPN pay more for schools they're already getting for cheap" argument actually hold any water?

According to Boren, they get a pro-rata increase for two or four. It is in the contract and it doesn't require additional negotiation.
DAVID BOREN: The provisions, of course, as you know do protect us so that current member shares will not be diluted if we were to add two or four more teams. There's a contractual obligation to pay that additional amount pro rata that we're already receiving if there is an expansion, a hypothetical expansion of the conference. It's already covered in our contracts, does not require additional negotiation of the contracts.
I don't know man "Big 12 culture" is a criteria. Storrs is a place that a Big 12 alum would feel comfortable visiting.Yes, we have horses and cows and barns.
We have extremely limited samples of shools entering conferences for and individual sport. How do we know UConn can't enter for Football and Mens/Womens basketballGo Ralph G0!

Colorado State Houston Cincinnati UConn There you go. That's my guess for the Big 12.

@ralphDrussoAP@AP_Top25 Good luck getting the Texas B12 schools to agree to travel to Connecticut for all sports. Not happening.

UConn's got academics. Big alumni base. State support. Gets a foot into a big new market.
"How many doors in Queens do you have to knock on until you find someone interested in UComn football"?Another geography major...

Is it me, or did Dodd's tune change rather quickly?
Interesting that Dodd has us at #2. I could be totally wrong but he's been kind of low on us during the process.
I'll tell you what, in NYC I would say I see the most Cuse gear (as much as it pains me) but believe it or not then I see UConn, ND, Penn State, Michigan on a level below Cuse. I never see any Rutgers gear lol.

Interesting enough..a guy I work with grew up in Bed Stuy/Crown Heights off of Eastern Parkway...just moved form there about 5 months ago..he said in that part of Brooklyn UConn gear is #1 for college gearInteresting that Dodd has us at #2.
