This is the first and last time I read someone using the Dude of WV as a source. The UCONN presentation to the Big 12 was awesome. The ass hats had no intention of expanding and everyone got used.

It's JSM1970 ... what do you expect. Nothing more than 1 A s s hat believing another A s s hat.

Edsall talked about seeing and talking to him when Detroit played @ MetLife Stadium a few weeks back during the interview. Couldn't remember what position he played.

Anyone who thinks UConn bombed on any sort of presentation is absolutely nuts. The presentation, which was released to the public about 2 minutes after the official "no expansion" announcement was made by Bowlsby, was spot-on and very professional. Unfortunately for us, no presentation in the world can mask a 3-9 football team that never scores touchdowns.

Well sure, but if UConn was 9-3 the Big XII was going to stay at 10. The whole thing was a shakedown for TV.

Absolutely. And most likely UT and OK are headed somewhere else in 2025. It seems a little crazy given the culture clash, but tv/media money may force the PAC12 to take the best of the Big12 at some point. The PAC 12 media package may need the oomph of another time zone.
 
Joe D is away so the imbecile is going to play. Tweets out that he is coming out firing @UConnfootball and fan expectations. Glad I am not listening.

Slow sports week - he has to talk about something. Looking for "help" to understand the expectations for UConn Big 3 sports (Football/MBBBasketball/WBB).

IMO, not only a shakedown for TV.
1) It also provided a HUGE smokescreen for the Baylor / Art Briles fiasco.
2)Allowed the BIG 12 to view information about each school, including Houston, to further survey the landscape
without having to do their own homework. It was done for them by each school presenting and putting their best case forward
as to how to better the BIG 12.
 
Gresh is looking for fans to call in to discuss their expectations of the football program.

I'm not 100% sure on how it plays out but many analysts (not sports media guys) are starting to think ESPN and the others badly over paid for the various leagues. In effect they canablize each other. And fans mostly watch "their" team, others not so much except the real name brands. It doesn't matter how much you dress it up. Illinois-Purdue or Virginia-Wake are not drawing huge numbers outside home areas and Ohio State only plays Michigan once a year. Try your darndest you ain't making OSU-Rutgers or Michigan-Maryland more than an afterthought.
