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

More than likely it involves paying Ollie.

I was thinking that a portion of the settlement had to be included. There likely is an additional item or two that aren't normal recurring expenditures.

Can someone on here remind us how BIG12 voting works for membership? Is it an all-or-nothing or a certain % majority rule?

Back in 2016 when they had 10 teams, it was 8 out of 10, according to this story.

Big 12 passes on expansion for now. Here’s why

Well, that was much ado about nothing.

I wonder if OU and Texas would still have a vote and as of July 1 wouldn't the four new schools have a vote? ... not that any are fond of our program.

I found this from 2021. There is also a PDF of the bylaws:

Under Section 1.5.2(b)(3) of the bylaws, a "Supermajority of Disinterested Directors" must vote in favor of the "Admission of a new Member . . . ." Under Section 1.5.2.2(f) states that a "Supermajority of Disinterested Directors" is 75% or more of all Disinterested Directors. A Director is not a Disinterested Director if he or she represents a school that has "Withdrawn" or is an "Interested Director" as to a particular issue before the Big 12 Board of Directors.

Interesting, thanks for researching this.

Interview with Don Amore:

 

[LBird33]

He’s got credibility. May not be guaranteed but he wouldn’t put it out if it didn’t have credibility

 

[jostar1]

 

[Forte]

Is it fair to say Dom Amore isn't a UConn fan? Dom Amore lists all the Boomer reasons why NYC is actually not pro-UConn and the podcast/YouTuber follows up with "I'm 26, people my age when you say Big East basketball Madison Square garden THE NEWER GENERATION we think UConn we think Shabazz Napier, we think Kemba Walker ... that's kind of what we grew up with and that's a big part of that"

 

[Stinger92860]

Suddenly we are seeing more pro UConn info, first Mora, now this. Might it be a campaign to build support for votes. I’m curious to see if info about our facilities gets bumped up next.

 

[Fishy]

And people here tell me I’m crazy all the time when I say we need at least HAVE PLANS for an on campus stadium.

You’re not crazy.

Have you seen what they consider pizza to be in Iowa? Heathens.

Okay, you have a point.

 

[Stinger92860]

Can tell you respectfully, it appears aaron does not understand what an influencer is and these coaches have a lot of influence. Keep in mind each school has 2. It’s funny that he discredits the basketball coaches and then throws football out there. We don’t need everyone to vote yes. Anyone know what type of majority is required in the B12?

Who peed in aaron’s cheerios?

 

[Fishy]

Then, when UConn fans travel to Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas for football games, they can bring some pizza from Sally's or Pepe's in New Haven with them. In exchange, we will get some Tex-Mex from our new friends in the Big 12.

I will say this…..Connecticut does barbecue better than they do pizza.

I am impartial as I live in upstate NY where they do not do either particularly well.

He’s right, though…coaches have no input. They’re not even consulted.

We need 9 out of 12 votes.

All due respect, if bball coaches actually had any influence in PS5 expansion, we would have been in the ACC already.

Baylor AD calls Tramel's "resistant" report a "misrepresentation," "isn't accurate"...

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Amore is clueless. If he receives five emails a season from "fans" asking about dropping football that is a lot and they'd all be from the same person.

Also, callung St John's New York's college basketball team is like calling Army New York's college football team. It may have applied at one time but that is so far in the past that few remember. Also, Pitino better do something quick because I doubt he'll last past 75 on the recruiting trail.

Yep. They would be from @August_West .

 

[UConn Dan]

I think they “key” takeaway here is that UConn is “in the mix” in quotes. And if ADs are gauging their coach’s interest — to make an informed recommendation to their president — then this is all very real. Aaron is correct that the coaches aren’t making the decisions, but I do not think he’s reading the messaging correctly and the main takeaway is that this is very good for UConn’s shot at the big 12.

Even if we don't join now, it's pretty clear the door is open to us in the future. This is way better than getting the door slammed in our face by the ACC.

I knew they wouldnt be that dumb but at least it can squash those rumors

The press we are getting is generally positive. Last two times we went thru this we were laugh and scoffed at
