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

Sources: Colorado on verge of leaving Pac-12 for Big 12

Colorado has been flirting with the Big 12 since last fall, and now it appears to be ready to leave the Pac-12 with a key board meeting on tap Thursday.

Is there a 14th out there? Yormark, an aggressive and calculated former leader of a New York entertainment agency, has targeted UConn as a potential expansion possibility. But the preference among many of his member schools is to first seek another Power Five program. UConn football currently competes as an independent. According to the Big 12’s new TV contract, Power Five expansion additions receive a full pro-rata share of the distribution, which is expected to start around $31 million annually per school.

It does mention in the next paragraph that interest and talk between Arizona and the Big 12 has waned lately and ASU is a factor in this.

I'm not buying Colorado being the only moving part in this. Maybe for a tiny bit but a 14th is surely in the works.

SDSU is now in the Pac clearly. Their premature letter has come to fruition.

It wouldn't surprise me if they agreed to stay one more year as a part of the deal to get them reinstated after their premature exit letter.

Yormark wants UConn. He will get what he wants. Gotta be a little more patient guys.

Who cares about SDSU. Let’s hope just one PAC team leaves or 3.

For a truly national conference, B12 will need UCONN for its New England, NYC, and CT markets. It makes no sense to add a bunch of West Coast teams with multiple in the same state.

Yormark is a smart guy. Let's hope he can sell the rest of the B12 presidents.

Utah.

Then the Big 12 would have the two Utes.

The original tweet said not a four corners school. So it would be Oregon or UW.

One would think Washington and Oregon are Big10 bound.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

One would think Washington and Oregon are Big10 bound.

No chance these schools want to join the B12 unless they have absolutely no choice. The same can be said for Cal and Stanford. All 4 of those schools will be B10 or stick together to form something else.

The only thing that makes me believe is the absolute waste of time on his end if he’s just making it up.

 

[TRest]

Arizona will be inhabitable in a decade so not the smart long term play.

Not my best trait. Are you thinking days or weeks?

 

[Jimdish255]

You'll be happy, give it a few days.

Don't be discouraged. Everybody here has Stockholm Syndrome.

You are a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Let's hope you are right. Many UCONN fans gonna be buying you drinks if we are invited.

I just hope that light is not connected to the train that is going to run us over!

The move to P2 has begun! We, the P2, can outspend anyone and you will never catch up.

This is such a gross violation of NIL because the value transfer is based upon the program brand not the individual player. This is pure BS. There should be a general fund with level payments for all. If a kid wants a NIL deal it has to be his face no relation to football, school brand, etc.

 

[TRest]

That all depends on Coach Prime. They could easily do it in football. In Basketball they have a very good recruiting class coming in, but winning that conference is next to impossible, even more so if UConn joins.

Coach Sanders hasn’t won jack at a very lower level.

“If the rest of the Pac-12 holds together and doesn’t follow Colorado, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark would like to target American Athletic Conference football and Big East basketball member Connecticut. There is belief within the conference that Yormark is far more enamored with the Huskies than other members, but that he would have gained further credibility and trust by delivering Colorado. Thus the Big 12 could sign off on pursuit of UConn, a basketball gold mine in the northeast but a football underachiever over the last decade.”

I'll take my chances. I am sure on this.

Uhh. Pat Forde thinks we're in the AAC for football.

Well you’re on the clock now. Put me down as someone who thinks you have an accurate take on this. Also would love Arizona in the Big12.

Unintentionally funny post.

It's inhabitable now and many people are moving to that state. Just in case there's an edit and it gets changed to "uninhabitable".

Regardless of the slip up, it seems clear we’re the backup for the four corner schools.

[king conn]

Is AD David Benedict monitoring the situation?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Regardless of the slip up, it seems clear we’re the backup for the four corner schools.

What's clear is that Forde (who has always enjoyed taking digs at us) believes we are no better than a backup choice. He isn't part of the decision making process so........
