There may not be a later.
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.

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.

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.
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.

Relevant to B12 country.


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.
