This the part where we should start cheating. Large under the table payments, and any other vice you can conjure.

UConn will get caught, but it will be after it is firmly ensconced in the Big 12.

Tongue in cheek, but not really.

Is there some tweet here? I'm missing something

This whole thing is laughable yet we can't laugh too hard because our livelihood depends on it.....I'm not kidding when I mentioned Bowlsby putting on hats at a table when they announce the schools. This crap cannot be made up.

When is the swimsuit event?

That's OK. Besides, they changed it to athletic wear.

Where did you read that?

Yahoo Sports.

Saw on twitter that,Garry Parish intimated that Cincinnati and Memphis "are working together". Has this been talked about on the board?

I think its from his live radio show, may have to wait a while for more info/archive

BREAKING : CBS4 has learned CSU has made the first "cut" as the Big 12 Conference mulls expansion. 18 interested schools now whittled to 6-8


So just how many schools fit in this 6-8.......

No, because it's definitely not true.

I guess Parish discussed it on his radio show. Would be beyond interesting if it had any legs.

I endorse this strategy. If Cincy wants to weigh itself down, by all means, go right ahead.

Someone is lying.

Yeah, that could bite them in the ass.

 

[Santini35]

And if you're directly discussing this with another entity, one could possibly presume that that violates the NDAs depending on how they are written....

It doesn't. Parrish is clown shoes.

It's called The Jurich... I think conferences are on to that trick now.

 

[junglehusky]

Ha, for some reason I thought that was monthly...

... Still too high.

Just my opinion. I'm sure he's a nice guy, trying to make a living. Hope he does well. Don't personally see what value he adds.

I'm happy to pay for a small portion of his kids' college fund, it's better than forking over money to TRONC (look up the John Oliver bit on them, it's pretty good)...

I think he brings better value for reporting CR than the average sports reporter, but when you read him you have to remember to discern what is being said by Blauds's sources versus what is his personal take. He does need an editor though.

It's okay, you've been away and you're only #4,728 to make that joke. 32,915 jokes have been made comparing #Big12expansion to the Bachelor.

I think UNLV being out bodes well for us as it is becoming less and less likely they will expand west.

You might be reading too much into it. UNLV is out because they are UNLV.

Maybe, but I've heard that Air Force might be out as well.

 

[MattMang23]

It was reported they're still in- but as a football only, which would make some sense. Hopefully you're right and they're out, too.

 

[WestHartHusk]

And UNM is out. This is how far we have been reduced

UNLV had about the same chance as Capital Community College getting in. The news of the day is essentially they are back to the initial list after a summer of digging and filling in holes.
