Message: [QUOTE="Nostical, post: 4703771, member: 749"] No one’s a bigger fan of Yormark than me but he had nothing to do with absorbing the three AAC teams and BYU. That was a Bob Bowlsby‘s strategy. Yormark has been the ultimate outside the box thinker (and doer) and he’s garnered tremendous respect and credibility with his conference members for brilliantly recognizing the earlier he made a media deal the better. If he wasn’t commissioner, UConn would not have been mentioned as a possible candidate. It’s now all about him convincing his membership on the future value of UConn football, the current preeminence of Husky BBall, and the importance of having a Northeast (NYC) presence. It’s hard to imagine them not giving Yormark his vision. If he pushes for UConn we get in. If he demurs, waiting for other Pac12 defections, it’s more problematic. I’m betting on Yormark pushing for us. [/QUOTE]
