I spend way too much time on this stuff.Geez, you're fast. By the time I got to this tweet and picture, I learned that KSU's President tweets a lot about coffee, Star Wars and Virginia Tech.

This week off is killing me. I hope one day we all laugh at this sheetI spend way too much time on this stuff.
This is from 2011 BUT it's pretty interesting:

I typed in "Is Kstate Pres Kirk Schultz on the B-12 Expansion committee" into google...I found some other stuff when I added 2015. Looks like he is still the chair of that committee.Where do you guys come up with this stuff?
How close is Tramel to insiders at OU? Is this sort of the same thing where Dodds at Texas used to use Chip Brown as his personal mouthpiece when he wanted to leak info during the back and forth with the Pac 12 a few years ago? If that's the case, there's a good chance these comments aren't coming from Tramel, but from the OU administration. Would be a heck of a feather in our cap if the folks at OU are the ones saying we need to be considered.

Very similar - has been alleged for many years. BT did a pretty good job taking pointed jabs @ us over Fiesta Bowl and our invite/"official" attendance/tradition. Saying anything remotely positive is a big leap forward - his words or not.
This might be a good step in the right direction!I don't think there is too much we can do on the Big 12 front in terms of direct contact. Obviously, some networking is a good idea, like making phone calls to school presidents to seek support and remind them what we can offer. I don't think Susan should be showing up to visit school presidents that don't want to talk to her.
Ultimately, the battle of public perception is very important in this process. You want the media and fans to vocalize that UConn is the best choice. In order to do that, the school needs to be using social media like mad to get the word out about all kinds of important information. The athletic budget, the market, the accomplishments, where we'd rank among the P5 academically and financially, the value of basketball, including WBB and its network programming opportunities. What about all the arenas our women will sell out around the league? The waves of information need to be relentless and widely dispersed right now. If the media backs UConn and the fans back UConn, we'll get in.
In August, he had an article saying that the Big 12 should go west and take BYU and Boise State.

This might be a good step in the right direction!
If I am Warde I want nothing to do with Big12. First of all if we are trying to build a football program back to respectability that is the last place we want to end up in. Far travel for all road games and we just don't fit that brand of football. We need to try everything we can to get into the Big 10. That is more our style and just a way better fit. Hopefully the Big 10 looks to expand to 16 or maybe a Big 10 team gets picked off for Big12 or SEC/ACC.

never in a million years will that happen. What we need to hope for is to either pair with a school from the XII to the B1G or be in the XII and continue to improve our B1G profile.
3. Cincinnati & Connecticut: If only UConn football had kept the momentum going from Randy Edsall’s days as coach. But Edsall left for Maryland after taking the 2010 Huskies to the Fiesta Bowl, and UConn is 15-33 against an increasingly-declining Big East/American Conference. Still, UConn basketball is among the nation’s best and it’s the only flagship university on the market for conference expansion. Cincy and UConn would form a three-school suburb back East for the Big 12. But football would not be improved.
Big 12 >>>>>> AAC... Come on, man.We should be looking for a more permanent home then just following the trail. We should try to get into the B1G now before it gets capped at 16 so we will have a stable home for a long time. Going to the Big 12 would be a short sighted move on our part in a growing P6 conference (the AAC).
Either that or on the short list for the purge when his second term is over.I have a photo with President Obama and I have a Twitter account. I guess that makes me on the short list for a Supreme Court a appointment.

No. You'd have to be living under a rock top believe otherwise.Can we afford to wait though?
