He didn't specify the date, but I could have read it wrong. I went through his replies and he said "Texas has long noticed UConn's NY footprint" or something to that effect. Maybe Texas likes us after all.

What sparked that back and forth was UConn moving the Holy Cross game next year from 9/9 to 8/31, I guess one can leap to the conjecture to free up a late October/November date for a Stadium game. We also have Missouri @ home on 10/28 and BC on 11/19. Seems to be a reach..

... which may not absolutely rule out the possibility of re-jigging the 2017 schedule to include a latter season gridiron, early hoop season doubleheader with UT or other schools.

TCU has an open date that week.

It's hard to believe Texas would go on the road OOC late enough to play a game at Yankee Stadium.

Yes, it's a joke and not from the Big12 Conference for non-Twitter folks.

YES!!! This was step one in my fake Bowlsby announcement scenario.....the next step is him sitting down with all those hats of the schools in from of him on national tv and putting on the hats of the schools he/Big 12 selects! I can't wait!!!

They don't want to play in the Northeast on a Thursday night in 27 degrees and a driving rain storm, so, no, they're not interested if it's late season.
 
This Texas in NYC metro area game is probably the "sorry but you're not getting into our league, so as a consolation prize you can have us in your backyard but it's our home game and we get 75% of the tickets and 98% of the revenue" game.

Its just Diaco. He decided the extra week would help Holy Cross more than UConn, so he pushed for a change. If not that, probably just making room to schedule Clarkson or Amherst.
 
Blauds says, Cincinnati, Houston, Connecticut, Memphis, Central Florida, South Florida plus a pair of unnamed AAC schools and then BYU are the current finalists.
 
I'm guessing ECU isn't going to be the first school to confirm they are no longer candidates for the Big 12 today.

Brett McMurhy is now tweeting what schools didn't make it. Mentioned East Carolina as one.
 
The fact that Memphis is still involved tells you all you need to know about this "process."

So two of SMU, Tulane and Temple. That's kind of tough to pick. I'd guess Tulane and Temple, (Temple for Philly and competency in MBB and Football and Tulane ?? academics, I guess) but I could see Texas pushing for two of the four being Texas schools.
 
If Blauds is right and it's down to 8 American schools and BYU, that's a serious kick in the sack to Colorado State and Boise State. Not that I thought they would be taken, but for them not even crack the the first round of this process is pretty amazing.

It also tells you that going east is the strategy...and hopefully not adding another time zone (BYU)
