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

Do you have an unlike option on the post? If so, it could be as simple as an accidental tab+enter

According to who? While the remote possibility that we have already been picked does exist, I doubt that has happened yet. We have however signed a non-disclosure agreement.

The point is that it has to do with disclosing you've been picked before the league has decided to make a formal announcement, plus keeping communications regarding same confidential. If we have been silenced by an NDA, we'd have to already be in. Nobody else seems to be, except possibly Cincinnati. The rest seem to be going about all of their public politicking just fine, and at least the serious candidates or perhaps all of them may have signed NDAs. It hasn't stopped anybody from making public pronouncements about their respective candidacies.

We had 4000 more people at a charity game than Houston averaged all year, of course we deserve it

It's clear we deserve it. Whether or not it happens is out of our hands at this point.

Maybe just add those 18 schools to make an even Big 28 and save the trouble of interviewing each school?

Obviously it was a catch. I have the best replay guys, the very best, and they all say it was a catch. Not a catch? Come on, that's the best catch I've ever seen! I'd make that catch.

Actually, as more schools are being announced, it is like finding oh, another 3000 emails or if that analogy doesn't work for you, perhaps the Clinton Foundation can apply or better yet buy out the Big XII conference. Afterall, all those people donating for a pay to play, what interesting times we live in!

I don't think an NDA is what you think an NDA is..

That receiver's got big hands. Huge. He's a little bit of a low energy guy, but we're taking care of that. We think he can be tremendous for us. We have zero doubt about that, he's terrific.

Can't you see a Trump U football team? "A lot of people said there was holding on that touchdown. A lot of people. Believe me."

Their linemen would be YUUUUGE.

At practice today, #UConn sources refuted my report that Big 12 officials had visited Storrs during week of AAC media day

"Your source was incorrect" is what I was told during practice-have no reason to believe otherwise. I should vet better moving forward

Kid tries real hard to provide insight... Gonna get burned occasionally. Live and learn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Big 12 still contacted UConn according to Blauds, so this isnt a big deal. What is a big deal is if the Big 12 only expands by 2, which looks likely.

I also find it strange a UConn source would go out of their way to correct a week old tweet. Not saying their are ulterior motives at play, just saying.

 

[sportsart]

She only denied the timeframe, not the visit.

 

[RatholeMA]

"Your source was incorrect" Didn't say in what way the report was incorrect. Maybe it was B1G officials.

 

[WestHartHusk]

Why not just let a positive, if false, story stand? Are other schools correcting the record against their interest? These people are freaking idiots. Get some damn leverage with the conferences we really want to join. Man, this is what a life in academia results in...totally clueless.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

How exactly are we hurting ourselves or our chances of landing in the B-12 by setting the story straight?

Or we got a phone call from the Big XII asking why a UConn reporter knew they were visiting.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

The B-12 is claiming all candidates came to them, they did not pursue anyone. That narrative is shot if it leaks that they visited predetermined schools.

We got a phone call from the B-12 saying"some idiot leaked our visit. Deny it or we will drop you from the field".

This seems very pollyana. Where is the UCF or BYU administration rebuffing their stories?

True, UConn should definitely take a page outta BYU's PR book...

Tramel never mentions the Longhorn Network in that article. Isn't that a stumbling block to what he proposes?
