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

Nobody in the Big 12 cares about MSG. Not many people outside metro NY have any kind of reverence for it. We would never play league games there.

If you want to stake a flag in the New York metro area you have to look for opportunities to play at MSG. I could see in early season conference tournament there or maybe a doubleheader. Put teams outside of the normal big 12 pods in it. A Kansas UConn game at MSG would be a big draw and a good television event.

This is a false narrative. UConn and the UConn twitter-verse needs to challenge these fools.

Agreed- I challenge it every chance I get on message boards, youtube, etc. Fight ignorance and laziness/piling on with facts. We need to stand up for ourselves for crying out loud - the programs supposedly ahead of us (CO and both AZ schools) haven't done anything for years/decades in the big 2 sports.

They aren't going to play ordinary league games there. They don't in KC or Dallas or Houston. Might they look for chances to get B12 teams into the various tournament games at MSG. Sure. NYC isn't ever going to be a primary focal point of the league. We might as well get comfortable with that.
 
I think we are school #1 for the Big12. It's us and Colorado or us and SDSU, IF the plan is to shake a couple of other PAC schools loose.

It's gotta help our chances, we could easily get left behind in the dust if a bunch of Pac12 schools started running to the B12. There is no requirement that the B12 add an even number of schools.

There's no requirement the B12 add any schools at all - in a vacuum conferences are always more likely to just stand pat

Sure, but if they want UConn and the east coast NYC market why would that interest evaporate just because they aren't adding west coast schools? It's not like we are demanding a travel partner.

No, we are not the Big 12's #1 school.

Also, this Pac-12 deal is a load of crap, it's not a deal. It's basically like if I stated I'm willing to accept the terms of the payout if I win the lottery.

Or do a challenge versus another conference in NYC at MSG.

AZ and ASU are an awesome rivalry; keeping them together will add value for any conference.

Also, Phoenix and Tucson are somewhat seperate markets. Probably better to get both than just one.
Expand ...
Maybe if the Big 12 is looking to add 6 teams, but I'm not sure 2 Arizona schools make sense if they are adding less than that.

They will probably add them both since I'm usually wrong when I try to guess conference realignment outcomes.

I don't see how it could be announced today. The Board of Trustees has to vote on it and their next meeting isn't until June 28, 2023 (unless that gets changed).

Today is a stretch, but sooner than later i think.

I THINK, we either go in with Colorado or we go in with SDSU. SDSU needs to move before 7/1, for exit fee reasons from the MWC. If its us and Colorado i think SDSU slides to the PAC. If its UConn and SDSU, they might make a couple PAC schools scramble as there won't likely be enough room for all 4 corner schools.

My 2 uninformed cents.

Doubt it would be today, but theoretically they could announce the invitation. It certainly wouldn't take long for the BOT to approve it.

No one thought we'd hear about the PGA merger yesterday either.
 
The only question in my mind is how important is it that there be a 4th eastern partner. If WV, Cincy amd others pound table and argue for, we are in. If not important, we are out.

Bias aside, we are not a great fit for XII, and vice versa. This would be a marriage of convenience.
