Is it inconceivable though that a UConn program out the door would lobby for UMass as it's replacement? I don't think so.

No shiite Sherlock. Exactly, it's quite conceivable as the prior message suggests. ;)

Could be reading too much into this but I doubt this home/home gets announced at this time if BYU were in.

Big 12 has only approved BYU as non-league Power 5 opponent for Baylor series & not rest of league so far, Big 12 spokesman said

Sorry I'm missing something here because @UConn Dan alluded to this meaning we are in.

Why do you guys think this is good news for us?

Again, it could mean absolutely nothing. I just find it curious why they would announce a 2021/22 series at this moment versus in the Fall when all this media attention is off of them regarding expansion, CCG, etc. Then again I'm more of a "glass half full" guy when it comes to CR.
 
What's fascinating to me is that they are counting BYU as P5 opponent in 2020-21, but NOT as a P5 opponent for any other school.

BYU plays West Virginia this season in Landover, MD.

How's that work?

Maybe it is a sign that they are being invited and those days will be scheduled as conference games!

Baylor has had the creampuff OOC schedule in football for years. The is the B12 bone to help Baylor with that schedule. Nothing more.

BYU is politically connected and has major pockets all along the East Coast megalopolis. Can't blame them for wanting to play a game in DC and they should draw well based on the numbers that showed-up at the Rent. As for WVU, this is actually a smart move for them. Should the XII fold and the Mountaineers need a new home, with good numbers in the stand and on TV at this game, they can promote themselves as carrying part of the DC market, which is a lot better than the Charleston and Morgantown markets. After all, if Syracuse, which is 250 miles away from Times Square, can claim NYC as their market, WVU can do the same for DC, which is only 210 miles away from Morgantown.
 
Listen you bastards.

I specifically posted a key tweet in the key tweet discussion thread, with the intention of forcing Fishy to merge the two threads.

You're now having an active discussion about a key tweet that was posted in the key tweet discussion thread, where it clearly does not belong.

God have mercy on your souls.

Seriously, you'd never see this kind of crap on the message board of a P5 school...

BYU now has 4 of the 5 power 5 saying they count as a P5 equivalent. The Pac 12 doesn't need to say it. They just do it w/o discussion.

This doesn't sound like a school preparing to leave the AAC.....but preparing to replace some other school leaving with a geographic neighbor...

"The AAC would then likely do what it’s done nine times in recent years: replace its loss by snagging a C-USA school.

Although one official told me UConn has been pushing for the league to add the University of Massachusetts"

Not good. Not good at all.

UMass could replace UConn the way any 5th tier Texas school could replace Houston.

The Stud earned my quickest Ignore ever. For the longest time, I ignored Ignore. A couple of dopes forced my hand, I went for it and never looked back. I just checked and I'm now up to 41. I read a few posts now that don't make sense in context, but they are usually just calling someone an idiot. I don't feel like I'm missing anything.

What??? I hate escalators! They are nothing but stupid moving stairs. They always put those stupid things in the middle of a store I'm trying to keep my wife from shopping at! They lead to another level of my wife spending my money! I finally have the courage to express my dislike for escalators, and you go and get all Boneyard xenophobic on me for my beliefs. Now I can no longer express my feelings on modes of transportation here without fear of being ostracized. Who will I be able to express my dislike of unicycles and gondolas to. I has sad.

Why waste the time drafting and signing an agreement, especially when both teams would eventually need to replace the game anyway?

Your point is well taken. I think maybe they just wanted something in writing. I'm probably reading into something that isn't there.

Well let's hope there is something to read into (ie Indiana and Illinois series for us).
