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

Brett does snark. That’s it. He broke a lot of realignment news back in the day, but now he just strikes me as a personality more than reporter.

His coining if the term…magnificent 7 was ridiculous.

... and yet slipped into popular usage.

Assuming ESPN and Fox agree is UCONN in or does it depend on the actions of other current PAC 12 schools? As an example, if the four corners Schools decide to leave for the big 12, I assume that leaves no spot for UCONN? Thanks.

Don’t like the idea of depending on ESPN.

What about hockey, DB?

What about it?

I especially love XV's facial markings. Born with his game face on!

Two sources said Tuesday that Big 12 commissioner Brett Yorkmark is far more enthusiastic about adding UConn and Gonzaga than the league’s athletic directors, on whose advice the presidents — the ultimate decision makers — rely.

The same Big 12 that’s targeting NYC with its Rucker Playground program and trying to unlock the value of hoops I might add Man. We just need the invite to the third best conference for some degree of stability.

Happy Days perhaps?

He’s a self proclaimed genius. There may be a bias against UConn out there but that is not earth shattering news.

If he was really that smart he wouldn't be a BC fan.

Yes, Di Mauro left out those facts.

Absolutely - I read his article. Essentially, I don't think he wants us to get the nod for a P-5 spot. If he were honest, he'd admit that we can bring something to the party while his alma mater has been a huge P-5 let down. (All BC has going is a decent Hockey East team.)

He does not wish UConn any success, he is an enemy of UConn athletics and should not be employed as a sports writer in this state.

Denver is one of the largest metro areas in country. That’s an expansive market, no? Certainly more eyeballs than Hartford. Besides, it brings them back home in a way to what’s left of big 8.

 

[Ldandy]

Just my opinion but the Big 12 should pull an end around on the PAC and take both UConn and SDSU. Suddenly they would have representation in The NYC and Southern California Media Markets to go along with two top basketball programs. Both of these football programs could compete in The Big 12 Conference under the right leadership in their AD. Yormak has publicly expressed an interest in tapping into The NYC Basketball Scene and courting basketball and football fans in Mexico as well. There are two programs available right now that could help him accomplish those goals.

They probably love it and so does he. He is a professional troll. He relishes in that fact.

Denver is one of the largest metro areas in country. That’s an expansive market, no? Certainly more eyeballs than Hartford. Besides, it brings them back home in a way to what’s left of big 8.

The Denver, CO designated market area (DMA) is a U.S. television market serving the people in the state of Colorado. It is the 16th biggest media market by size in the United States, with a total population of 1,792,540 TV households as of the 2022-2023 television season, down -1%from that of the 2021-2022 season.

The Hartford-New Haven, CT designated market area (DMA) is a U.S. television market serving the people in the state of Connecticut. It is the 34th biggest media market by size in the United States, with a total population of 1,014,160 TV households as of the 2022-2023 television season, up +1% from that of the 2021-2022 season.

If you add Fairfield county, total CT households are about 1.375 Million, enough to rank #21. This does not include the Springfield area which is approximately 260K.

This is not true. UConn has the votes. It's about money, as always.

I agree, expand now with SDSU and UConn. Expansion shows strength and stealing SDSU from the PAC12 weakens them.
