I might be smoking something but…
Colorado, UConn, Gonzaga, Villanova.

Gonzaga and Nova would be as a non-football pair to assure each other it’s feasible. Two biggest brands in the Big East get to stay together. Gonzaga gets one of it’s WCC rivals back in BYU. Big12 doesn’t have to give full revenue share with Zags/Nova which helps with the overall financial picture. Big12 now has media markets that dip into NYC and Philly and are truly a national conference like the B10 will be. What do you think?

August West comes to mind insofar as conference talk is concerned.
Auggy a clown? Maybe that explains this sign...

Not sure if this belongs in non-key, but can’t imagine many people would be flying that route. Just so happens to be where the Big 12 meetings are for those not aware.

Then again, it also lists a flight from Teterboro, NJ, so does that mean that Rutgers is joining the Big 12?

I think the potential path is down the road when the ACC starts to get plucked by SEC and BIG: UVA, UNC, FSU and Clemson...
With eastern flank of Uconn/WVU/Cincy and UCF, easy for schools like Louisville, Pitt, Syr, and maybe Duke or NC State

Could be a tv exec. Also lists a flight from Nantucket.

The B12 is planning for the future. They add UCONN and Colorado now. UCONN is the B12 flag in the northeast. It makes it easier for Cuse, Pitt, Virginia, VT, NC, NC State, Duke, Wake, etc etc etc to join with a regional partner once the ACC folds.

I'm just saying it's easy to misread the tea leaves based upon flight origin.

I said something similar a few weeks ago when news of the ACC "Magnificent 7" broke. I said Pitt and SU should be proactive and join the Mag 7 to disolve the ACC and join the Big12 to form an eastern/rust belt block with UConn, SU, Pitt and Cincy. That would also freeze out BCU.

I could equally be okay with Big12 wanting the Boston area for travel instead of Syracuse area for travel and have Pitt and BCU join UConn and Cincy and freeze out 'scuse.

Now that we're back in the thick of realignment rumors can this thread just go back to key tweets?
