It is worth consideration. All ideas must be on the table. If we are being honest, Uconn is about winning. No one from the AAC will ever win the NCAA Tournament...EVER!

We should also consider turning the Nathan Hale Inn into a Casino and Brothel. The extra revenue might help make up for the shortfall in conference t.v. money.
I agree (with UConn excepted) with the above bolded statement. The thing is this: no one from the current Big East will ever win the NCAA Tournament...EVER!

I know we always here about the shortfall and everyone is having fun, but really there isn't even a shortfall in conference TV money between AAC and BE. The take from the football bowl TV money plus the AAC TV package is higher than the BE's take from TV.

And also, the AAC's media contract is understated in the media. They only consider the ESPN portion, but there's also a CBS deal for national basketball games.

I'm being nice for 24 hours.

I think he's just trying to find a way to accurately destroy someone's computer via the new drone he got for Christmas.

How much is that worth? Can't be too much.

The real viable question which I think our Athletic Department would be cool with, and I'd be cool with.

Big 12 Football/Basketball
Big East Olympic Sports
Hockey East

Big 12 is an infinitely better baseball conference than the Big East. Plus TX/OK are extremely fertile recruiting grounds for baseball.

If the B12 extends an invite to UCONN the ONLY Olympis sports that would need to find homes are the ones the B-12 doesn't support. Hockey stays in HE.

Ice Hockey would stay in the Hockey East. Field Hockey would stay in the Big East. Soccer would probably go back to the Big East.

Keep scrolling all the way to the bottom and you see Soccer (M) under non-sponsored sports. "Soccer" refers to just women's soccer. Only B12 with men's soccer is WV.
Wow. Only WVU has soccer. That surprised me.
And Iowa State no baseball.
We have horses, do we join in Equestrian? Polo?

I'm afraid the Equestrian and Polo teams will have to be disbanded so we can compete in rifle, bowling and horseshoes.

The B12 supports soccer...

Women's soccer only. The only XII school with a men's soccer program is WVU, which plays in the MAC. UConn men's soccer and women's field hockey would need a separate home (Big East?). I assume both hockey programs would be OK in Hockey East. Other program's like cross country, women's crew, volleyball, tennis may need some sort of hybrid arrangement to keep costs down.
