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

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

That I can see. ACC would bite on that.

So would the B1G.

"Announcement as early as today"

I highly doubt that but one can hope.

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.

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.

BE would be a good option too, especially if St. John's is one of the schools.

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).

News could break as early as Friday…

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.

When UConn Board of Trustees calls its own special meeting we will know the offer has been made.

 

[gioff2323]

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.

and we are a school that has prioritized BB over FB.

I disagree with this. Obviously, we have had more success at bball. I would guess that more money is spent on foortball.

Technically you would be right, by sheer number of scholarships. But find me 1 other school in the country where the women's BB coach makes more than the FB coach.

Show me another Women's Basketball Coach with 11 National Titles.

That’s probably not true.

Can't find any can you? 11 Nattys in WBB are great, so i don't want to turn this into crapping on that program but WBB hasn't mattered in conference realignment. UConn has a perception problem that they haven't invested in FB like in other sports. WE KNOW that's not true. The Rent and the practice facilities are great capital investments in the program. However this is how other people view the program in no small part because national talking heads like to say we "gave up on FB" when we left the AAC, which is a pile of crap.

The "gave up on football" narrative also relates to the Covid year when we canceled the football season.
