UConn FB won't join until 2031?? There will be a P2 by that point....sucks but I'll take the massive influx in cash. Maybe there will be some sort of scheduling arrangement on the meantime.Report: Big 12 to Renew Pursuit of UConn amid Expansion, Conference Realignment

The point in adding us is so they can't go P2 unless they ditch basketball. No one will watch a tournament that doesn't include Kansas and UConn

Uhh...
"As both The Athletic and Dellenger noted, the key here is a power-packed college basketball conference in the Big 12 adding UConn, which has won five men's titles and 11 women's championships since 1995."
I've been on sabbatical....
Bottom line - big time college hoops is going to be monetized. Why should the NCAA keep the lion's share of $1.1b+ generated by March Madness each year? UConn is as big as anyone in college hoops. Once, that happens, we'll find a place at the table. I can tell you the subsidized dregs in the P-4 are trembling. There are many that aren't good at anything - Syracuse, BC, etc.
No tears will be shed for the chronic under achievers in conferences that only make money because of other schools success. UConn is going to get there the old fashioned way - hard work and the success that comes with it!

Oh, it's happening....
Sources: UConn, Big 12 in early talks on potential membership
The Big 12 and UConn are in discussions for the Huskies potentially joining the league, sources told ESPN, though a high-ranking conference official cautioned there is "a far distance between conversations and anything that would happen."
I hope this is how Yormark sells it to the Big12 Presidents.
Wow, C Kitty, how long has it been??

Yes, as noted, I posted on Aug 14 and the Zanetto podcast was on Aug 19. My source was my son's friend who has a close connection with the WBB program and also with student government. He's a pretty quiet kid, so when I heard this I figured there might be some legs to it, but like everyone else I was highly skeptical. I will say this, if my source said this on 8/14 and it took 5 days for Zaretto to bring it up, then DB and company did a good job keeping a tight lid on things.

Klatt believes the Big 12 is the deepest football conference and may only get 1 team in the playoffs, but let's say 2. If that's the case, what difference does it make where UConn stands today? We hired Jim Mora as our Football Coach! We will certainly compete. Unless the conference is hoping for an FSU or Clemson to come in and grab the playoff spots. I get that the conference could make more money in 2031 if it landed 2 premiere football programs but that is highly unlikely.

As I said in one of the threads, this is part of the appeal. No real dominant teams, but a lot of good, competitive teams and good games.
