Big 12 Pushing For UConn Part Deux!

[metsfan2323]

We’re not in the NYC market. We’re in the Hartford market. That’s our problem and that’s why no conference has offered us. Our football has been terrible and that’s a big negative. We need to have a run like Cincinnati and UCF to draw interest.

Just curious, what team do you root for? We know it's not UConn.

We’re not in the NYC market. We’re in the Hartford market.

Fairfield County is unequivocally included in the NYC DMA.

 

[NE Football]

I’m being realistic, not getting my hopes up yet again for an invite that never seems to come. I was 100% opposed to leaving the AAC because I believe it put us in a really bad position to get an invite. We would have still won the national title last year coming out of the AAC. The Big East move did nothing for our hoops program and it destroyed our football program

I live in NYC: I watch all UConn athletics: UConn is in NYC market.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

NE football is probably just some BCU fan. Mute.

Yup, facts matter.

Did you reread this? Did nothing for our hoops program? If you think that your clueless.

How far is Fairfield from NYC? I think I might have walked that before.

Actually UConn is in the NYC market. Fairfield County is part of the NYC DMA and Fairfield County is in Connecticut. Thtats over 300K households and when combined with the Hartford/New Haven market makes CT a top 22 DMA in the entire USA.

Our football was really good, we went to the Fiesta Bowl in 2010, and went on a bad streak due to poor coaching hires. I agree we need to go on a run and with Mora thats a possibility.

Have you looked at the 10 year records of traditional football powers, start with Nebraska. They could use a run also and there are others.

CT border to NYC is less than 15 miles.

Have you ever noticed that when driving to the city, from Hartford say, that the pulse quickens in that last half hour? I has become a lot more fun now that the NAV systems have gotten so good. Maybe not so much where exactly you are going, but more letting you know where the traffic tie ups are.

Haven't worked in that area for nearly three decades but few things were ever worse than commuting into Hartford.

 

[huskidork]

Honestly I think we'll be in the Big 12,
not getting my hopes up too much like I kind of did in 2016, but I really do think this.

 

[jostar1]

And that’s our problem, we don’t bring a big tv market. Nobody in Boston or NYC cares about us.

 

[Patman]

yes, people forget that UConn can also inch into the Boston market.

Wow, Connecticut is a huge TV market, it’s top 25 in the entire country. What’s up with your misinformation agenda?

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Yesterday was a good day for UConn’s chances of getting invited to join the Big 12. Since it looks like the PAC 12 will hold together, the Big 12 has no other options but UConn.

That one is the most important to me!

 

[Greedo]

Does that mean we’d get a discount on chicken and mashed potatoes?

I remember when it was about the creamed spinich.

 

[hank970]

Well, yeah, but beyond that, maybe not so much.
