Interesting Big Ten Tweet

[Rdm203]

For you that dont follow MHver3 he claims to be an insider on the expansion process. Has been tweeting alot of claims over the last several months. Not debating if he is legit or not but just passing on the info.

MHver3(@MHver3) tweeted at 9:48 AM on Tue, Feb 05, 2013:
Delaney presented some information on demographics, ratings, and market penetration that was compiled by a market research firm. Uconn was the surprise school that opened a lot of eyes. They creamed BC in every major category.Other than ND, Uconn owns NYC in bball

 

[Adios]

I am not surprised by this analysis one bit. I said it before, marketing ourselves is a must.

 

[TheRogers]

You better not be making this up.........

 

[Rdm203]

Delaney is the Commissioner of the big ten. They did their own research. Had nothing to do with marketing ourselves. But, good to know someone is noticing what we already knew. Uconn is a better option than it has been getting credit for.

...man I was planning on having a productive day....

Look the guy up on twitter then. Its not my story. Just passing the info on.

 

[CTGoonie]

Who tweeted this? Can't tell from the original post. If this person really had inside info wouldn't they know how to properly spell "Delany"?

 

[ddminct]

Exactly. It's from one who shouldn't be named

 

[tykurez]

Tell me they paid for this "research"? Like it's some big ducking surprise that UConn creams BC in every major category?

Trust me when I say this, there is someone way up in B1G circles who was in doubt we'd be invited to the B1G. After making some points, he now he sees us as a viable option.

If you've spent any time on the Conference Realignment Board, you'd see that the author of this tweet is far from a reliable source.

hard to say anyone is a reliable source at this tim. I assume there is a lot of discussion and debate going on. Things change and so does the info. Doesnt mean he is or isnt reliable.

Why should we trust you? I really want to.

Do you really think I am dumb enough to say names?

Not looking for a name. Just give me a reason why we should believe you other than your post count.

 

[Adios]

I personally do not care. But have you ever seen me post bogus nonsense? And I mean from a collegiate athletics perspective.

 

[upstater]

ND is HUGE in NYC in basketball.

Apparently.

His avatar is a joker winking at you. What could be more trustworthy?

We get the best coverage in NYC in basketball.

Oh, oh can I answer this one?

Perhaps not, but I'll tell you what ... I don't trust that Jester in your profile picture. I don't care if it's a Finnish hockey team, he's giving off an air of non-credibility.

Captain Buzzkill here: the guy who tweeted this tweeted other things like:

• Nebraska might have to worry about being kicked out of the B1G.
• He repeatedly has posted that the ACC was about to offer UConn.
• Said FSU was days away from going to B12--in December.
• SDSU was being considered by the PAC.
• and many more...

He says everything, all the time.
If he's right, it's by accidence, not by knowledge.

I edited the post.
