As badly as I want to read into this as he knows he'll be playing in the Big 12, they have gotten commits from Cali recently so location doesn't mean much. It does show you how capable Mora is though.

He has a lot of connections.
 


-> On Wednesday, when asked to address the validity of Yormark’s reported visit, Memphis president Bill Hardgrave declined.“Yeah, I’m not going to talk about any of that,” he told The Commercial Appeal.

Memphis vice president and athletic director Laird Veatch also neither confirmed nor denied that any meetings took place. “You know, what I would say is we have, throughout, tried to be really professional and thoughtful about not commenting about the process,” said Veatch. “We’ll continue that. I believe that’s the right way to operate. You don’t want to get into commenting or speculation on anything. It’s not beneficial to the university or to the process or to anybody involved.” <-

UC-Boulder's sports are nothing to rave about in recent years, but it's a state flagship in a large and growing DMA, the school's academics are strong, it supports very high research activity (more than $500 million/year), it's a member of AAU, it has an endowment of more than $2.1 billion, boasts of several Nobel laureate affiliations, and has large alumni presence on the west coast. Those things are what made it attractive to the PAC. In addition, it has a beautiful campus in a gorgeous setting, and the main cafeteria in its student center memorializes Alferd Packer, the only man (I think) ever convicted of cannibalism in Colorado. What's not to like about that?

Oh, and it has an on-campus stadium. It'll be interesting to see if Coach Prime can reverse CU's football fortunes.

I love CU Boulder. Campus is awesome and I think my daughter is going to try and go there. That said, it has become pro sports town with the Nuggets, Avs, Rockies, Rapids and Broncos. Lot of competition in that market.

There for two weeks next month. I’ll scout out places for UConn-CU meet ups.

They didn’t meet. There is no discussion.

Uh ,,, perhaps not get ahead of yourself and even jinx the whole thing. By all means get started on your data base, but only for purposes of visiting your daughter ;) ;) If you catch my drift ....

Simply put, it's all about football.... UConn's is widely looked down upon ... by its own Bball fan base especially. Other programs like Kansas, and even Colorado have had years upon years of horrible football products and empty stadiums with the luxury of P5 money to prop their egos....UConn has had to use alternative revenue sources to keep spending on par with P5 athletic programs ... P5 old money doesn't respect that. What I find most interesting in all this is how much UCF and Cinci thumb their noses at UConn athletics. Perhaps they have earned it but talk about entitled fanbases forgetting where they came from.

UCF fan base is beyond entitled. Saying how the Big12 is above adding G5s. Bruh who do you think you are.

UCF fans are some of the worst in the country. They think they've accomplished a lot more than they have.

It is amazing a third-rated school thinks so highly of itself after a P5 invite. These fans are beyond delusional. There is far more to colleges than just football.

They've surpassed Miami in fb accomplishments and as a program currently.

The amazing thing is 80% of what can be legitimately viewed as their fan base grew up as diehard Gator or Noles fans and another 5% as Canes fans.

They are a generation away from having sufficient gravitas to have an actual, dedicated fan base.

College Football Realignment

For the BOR meeting on Monday. Anyone know how far in advance of the meeting the need to post the agenda? I thought it was 24 hours, however there's some confusion if a 'public' meeting has that requirement or not. If so is it 24 hours or 24 business hours? Would someone really post something...

Apparently, that board meeting is to elect a Treasurer? An entire 30 minutes when they could do it three days later at their normal board meeting to elect a new treasurer? Colorado board seems to be laughing at it though.

What it means is "We don't have anything yet but hope to soon. We don't want to have to pay the increased (I believe double) exit fee if we get the offer in July but we don't want to be in the wilderness if no offer appears. We'll provide this comment now, saying we're intending to leave, this way if we do get the offer in July we can claim we informed the conference in time but if we don't, we can say we never actually said we were leaving".
