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

Washington, oregon, Colorado, and Cal will always find a landing spot.
Stanford, Utah, Ariz/ASU are highly likely to as well.
All of them can wait until the PAC figures out what it’s doing.

Of course. But the if the Pac is going to get a decent deal it will require a GOR. It's a Catch 22 for them, as several schools want to be able to leave, but that will mean a very small contract. Most likely result is a short contract and short GOR, like 4-5 years. Colorado and Arizona can decide if the money is good enough (even with a GOR it will be less than Big XII) and the dominoes will start falling. Oregon and Washington could probably live with a short period when they are effectively locked in.

That was published last year, just an FYI.

Thanks, I missed that. I assumed it was new when it came up on my feed.

The interview with Dodd is here (scroll down for the Dennis Dodd segment). Talk of basketball starts at 15:05. Dodd says that Yormark's next move will be a significant push to get UConn in.

They must value the market in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic more than the B1G and ACC seem to thus far.

 

[Scrutineer]

And immediate value in women's basketball and baseball. That's not a deciding factor, but it's not nothing either.

And Ice Hockey (M+W), and who could overlook Field Hockey?

Big 12 doesn't have hockey or field hockey. Or soccer. Would need a home for Soccer and Field hockey.

Big 12 doesn't have hockey

That's a plus for us because it lets us keep hockey in hockey east.

We played field hockey in the Big East when we were in the American. No one cared.

I think UConn's history with college soccer is very cool, but if the price of joining a P5 conference is playing soccer in the A Ten (or CAA), that won't hold acceptance up for two seconds.

Looks like the UConn Big 12 thing is going to happen. Not a done deal yet, but trending that way.

Based on the information I have. It's not concrete, but was right about no interest in SDSU. I guess things can always change, you guys rule number 1 lol.

If you’re right, first round’s on me when you come to Storrs for a top 10 basketball matchup.

Ahh, brings back distant memories of cow tipping. Not sure that's a thing on campus anymore.

People have no idea how country CT is. They think Fairfield county boating and country club.

CT has small cities, toney suburbs and then some Hicksville places that is just farm and tractors. I always find it funny when people think state is metropolitan. It is a suburb of New York and essentially cities with a lot to country in it considering location.

Most of the state is considered urban. About 7% of the state is farm land, and even that number is likely inflated as it's not all preserved meaning it can be parceled off and repurposed as needed.

When do we update the title to Key Threads?

Just would like to point out that Stamford, Bridgeport, and Danbury are in Fairfield County.

 

[UConnJim]

About 60% of the state is forested.

For the record we have an enormous numbers boaters and more than one country club in Stamford.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

A good chunk of that was previously farmed or grazed once upon a time

 

[CL82]

Technically, it wasn't supposed to be a thing back then either.

 

[Platt81]

Just would like to point out that Stamford, Bridgeport, and Danbury are in Fairfield County.

The median household income in Stamford is $99,791…Danbury is $74,600. So two of your examples to downgrade Fairfield County still exceed the US average household income of $70,784.

I took a college course in Early American history, looking at old land records and over flight pictures of the state there are more wooded areas in the state of Connecticut today than there was in the 1700's. All of the farm land is now wooded and not used anymore.

It's cow appreciation day, and all those cows are gone!

So I just drove over to East Greenwich, RI, last Sunday from Bolton Center. Round trip. Took Route 14, very pretty. I think at least 40-50% of the state is rural.
