Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Et tu, jostar? Et tu?

Hope is lost. I wash my hands of this madness.

Sorry, I held out as long as I could. The thing is I was replying to a post, not a tweet, so how could I post a reply in the Key Tweet Discussion when I wasn't replying to a tweet? If you know what I mean...

I would delete it but I can't.

Actual Key Tweet!

From NFL Twitter:

Thursday Night Football to be live streamed on @twitter: on.nfl.com/1q33rad

Also, there will be live pre game interviews with players via periscope.

But hardly key to conference realignment.

But hardly key to conference realignment.

I beg to differ. Twitter streaming live content is huge news from a CR respect. How content is delivered has a major impact on the conference networks, thus having an impact on CR.

Must've gotten an SEC invite with that non conference schedule.

Jim Delany confirmed negotiations have started in regard to the Big Ten's new media rights deal. He said nothing more on the topic.

Did you remember to bring our audition tape Jim?

Jake Trotter covers Big 12 for ESPN

The full quote is less promising...

 

[calluke]

Why is full quote less promising? A cincy fan asks about Big 12 expansion and an ESPN reporter whose job is to cover Big 12 says Uconn is strongest contender and the school he keeps hearing as a favorite. Sounds like one of the best (and legit) tweets we've gotten so far.

I just read the BYU/Cincy "obvious favorites" part as a buzzkill. Not sure of the full context though. I hope you're right.

He did mention those schools, but he started with UCONN and ended with UCONN. I took it as a plus.

I know this tweet is older but I think it demonstrates how much the perception and narrative about UConn is changing at the mother ship ship since mid January.

If the Big 12 expands, they'll grab UConn and Cincinnati. A game of chess between Delany and Bowlsby is on.

The question is, are we the queen or a pawn?

If Bowlsby is playing chess with Delany, he's down a queen, rook, and bishop.

He has a queen in Oklahoma. Texas is the stumbling, mumbling, slow-moving king.

Wow. 2 million above Rutgers, and a whopping 20 million above the next closest non-P5 (Cincy). Just imagine if we had a tv contract commensurate with our importance in the athletics world. Soon, I hope...

Not true. We hauled in $45 million, and the other $27 million was subsidized by students or donors. Aka, not good or sustainable.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Before we run the tweet off the rails, remember that schools are required to report finances differently.

Not specific to just UConn, but what UConn must report as a subsidy another school may report as revenue.
