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

Alum Jason Pierre Paul also attended and was seen leaving the meeting giving 1 and a 1/2 thumbs up.

It would seem to me that a combination of UC/BYU/UConn/UCF would provide the most new eyeballs for B12 TV versus any other 4 team combo. If I am a network, this would get my vote.

 

[Kevin Caliendo]

if that reporting is correct, then UConn's best chance is if BYU and UH are football only members and UC and UConn full members

 

[Marty Jackson]

That's been thrown out as a viable option. Then if ok and ut leave you've got two waiting on the bench

That would make sense as football is the only program at Houston that seems relevant right now. If you're going to take a school as FB only UH seems to fit that bill. If/when UT leaves then they can add them for all sports.

Seeing people think UH should be an all sport member and UConn should be a FB only add is just asinine.

He also points out that for UConn it is simply a matter of waiting to see if they have finally cleared the hurdle into the Power 5.

What does this mean?

Is there a SoundCloud or something that we could tap into?

I think you can play the show on Sirius' on demand if you have an account. I don't have an account so I'm not really sure how to do it or how it all works.

It was a direct quote. I took it as UConn has done all it could up to this point and now its a waiting game.

Brando realizes that if they expand tomorrow the team's won't arrive until next season right?

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

If Texas runs the table or even have one loss, there's a slim chance they're left out. Their remaining road schedule is very doable, at Cal, OK State, K State, Tech, Kansas. Outside of the OU neutral game, all of the Big 12's best teams go to Austin - WVU, Baylor, and TCU.

It's really not a key tweet but the title get's it placed here!

SportzEdge 8: Why the Big Ten should kick out Rutgers, add UConn

This line did make me chuckle: "Rutgers brings the New York City market the same way Taco Bell brings you quality Mexican cuisine."

Just making neutral observation: Today’s NCAA actions in UNC cannot be a good sign for BYU re @Big12Conference given LGBT letter to conf.

Now KState Student Government: Student leaders oppose BYU joining Big 12

Letter to the Editor: BYU should not be allowed to join the Big 12 Conference

 

[UConnDan97]

Wow. I would have put good money on the fact that UConn and BYU were locks for expansion when this all started, due to it being done primarily for tv money purposes. But if this backlash gets enough traction, it looks like UConn / Cincy will be the favorites in my opinion...

I don't care who the 2nd one is, as long as UConn is the first.

Houston's getting in one way or another. If it's only two I think we're screwed and it's UC/UH.

Houston may get in, but it's not going to come at the expense of UCONN (my opinion). This is about TV money, and we're the biggest dog out there...

TV money is absolutely not the #1 factor, as has been shown with ESPN's failed Longhorn Network and their subsequent rejection of a Big 12 Network. The cavalier attitude some have here that we're stone cold getting in over Houston is baffling.

Unfortunately it's about tv money that is already negotiated thru 2023-24. Counting on this group to based anything on subjective tv markets is iffy.

I pray that you're right, but Houston is going to be a big hurdle to jump.

From your keyboard to God's ears, BUT in the zany world of CR anything can happen.

I don't care who the first one is as long as we are one of the first two.
