Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4707579, member: 37"] It's not just Yormack. Arizona and ASU gave no indication they were joining the B12 until last Thursday and if GoKU is correct an announcement that they and UConn will be joining is in the works next week. The B12 has been working with their media partner regarding UConn and Colorado since at least May and Yormack has pretty much stated UConn would not be treated as a G5. So that's one indication that it's more than Yormack that is on board with the idea of getting more value out of basketball. If the announcement indeed occurs next week that's additional information that they are supporting basketball. It's a quick turn around and the only explanation would be they want Arizona for its bb program and need ASU to still take UConn. Basketball has driven the B12 realignment. Some of those PAC teams will not be part of the autonomous three or four conferences. This is the forerunner of the future. Expect a quick follow up of Oregon and Washington to the BIG. Say goodbye to the P5. Now it's A4. Or is it? Highly speculative but I wouldn't put it past the media powers to push the BIG, SEC and B12 to have informal conversations with enough GOR resistant ACC teams to precipitate a breakup of the ACC. And some of those universities will be out in the cold. [/QUOTE]
