I don't think so. Yale has billions and billions of dollars and they could care less. They are happy exactly where they are.The Yale Bowl is mourning the good ole days, too.

Early in my career, I took many snowmobile rides alone on the frozen Little Missouri River in the North Dakota badlands. It was like an interstate highway. I'd go twelve or fifteen miles up the river and then turn around and head for home, sometimes near dusk, which comes early that far north. I owned an Elan, the cheapest machine Skidoo made in the early 1970s and not one known for its reliability. A fouled plug or a broken drive-belt could have killed me. There's no way a guy could walk that far in a snowmobile suit and boots and in those temperatures if a machine broke down. There was a lot of in-between and solitude in that part of the world. This was long before helmets and face shields became commonplace, and I always had a bit of frost-bite on my cheeks from the air currents that sneaked around the windscreen. Looking back, I was a damned fool, but all's well that ends well.

Didn't say Yale is mourning. They own New Haven now, at least. The Yale Bowl is in West Haven.I don't think so. Yale has billions and billions of dollars and they could care less. They are happy exactly where they are.
The New Haven town green still has 5-10,000 people buried underneath.
I'm sorry Butch, but Yale Bowl is in New Haven, on the border of West Haven. I am from that area originally. Also, check Wikipedia, Yale Bowl.Didn't say Yale is mourning. They own New Haven now, at least. The Yale Bowl is in West Haven.

Meh, if you survived South Campus Weekend, you could survive that.Healthwise, I am glad the old UConn game at the Yale Bowl ended my Sophmore year. There is no way my liver would have survived going to that mess 4 years in a row.
Your AD “friend” never heard of rule #1One of my friends is an AD at an ACC school. He has told me that it is likely that anytime over the next couple of years that UConn will have one more opportunity to upgrade conference affiliation; when the opportunity comes, we need to be ready to pounce. He said the next move to happen will be either the Big10 or Pac12 expanding - the question is do they go to 14 or 16 members. There is some thought that the Pac12 will make the move 1st because the Pac12 folks feel more at risk & no one knows what the Big12 (even those in the Big12) may do. Texas & Oklahoma are looked at as key players. ND is also a wild card with their football status. It is likely that the next move will set of a flurry of activity that finalizes things. Of course, he also said that it only takes one maverick move & everything goes to hell in a handbag.....

I had my first jello shot at one of our last games at the Yale Bowl. IIRC it was simply something like Everclear and gelatin. Once it hit the back of my tongue, my throat said, "NFW!" and ejected it two rows forward.

Bingo, and Yale Field (baseball) and the adjoining cemetery just across Rt 34/Derby Avenue are in Waste Haven.I'm sorry Butch, but Yale Bowl is in New Haven, on the border of West Haven. I am from that area originally. Also, check Wikipedia, Yale Bowl.

We weren't talking about Yale Field, but Yale Bowl. I agree though. The southbound side of Rte 34 is in West Haven, as opposed to Waste Haven LOL! The northbound side, where Yale Bowl sits is in New Haven.Bingo, and Yale Field (baseball) and the adjoining cemetery just across Rt 34/Derby Avenue are in Waste Haven.

Everybody wants Texas and Oklahoma, PAC 12 has the jump on the Big Ten though. Oklahoma came oh so close to joining the PAC 12 in 2010. Not sure about Oklahoma but the SEC would love to cherry pick Texas.From the OU Insider...
Big Ten Source: League targeting OU, Texas
The article says the source has targeted Oklahoma and Texas for addition to the Big Ten in 2024-25. The Big Ten will coordinate with Oklahoma when OU negotiates its third tier rights so that the next third deal rights agreement will be a short term deal that expires in 2024. It mentions the Longhorn Network as not being as big of a hurdle as once thought, as it is a losing proposition for both Disney and exposure for UT sports.
I doubt the ACC will ever let us join after BloomingIdiot sued them. I think the ACC would invite URI before us. BloomingIdiot burned our bridge to the ACC.
Honestly, if the Big 12 loses OU and Texas, it may be open season on the Big 12. Additions of TCU and Baylor to the AAC would not be out of the question.
That said, I'll believe this OU/Texas story when I see it.
