Not Big12 related but sounds like ACC might be looking at teams?

Sounds like cya to me

Cinci shut down their men’s soccer with the move the big 12 but I think UCF still plays. Not sure if Houston shut theirs down.

Possible that with UConn, WVU and UCF that we the Big 12 could muster enough teams to sponsor men’s soccer. Cinci and Houston to play again. Plus Colorado to add? Kansas / K State to add?

I think you only need 8 teams right?

If in the remote chance Washington goes to Big 12 they also play soccer.

Keep soccer regional!!!!!

According to the PAC 12 site, the men's soccer standings are below. Women's soccer includes all 12 programs with UCLA and USC top of the standings. So with UCLA leaving, not sure what the PAC 12 will do with men's soccer, shut it down I suppose and join the Big West or West Coast, but I'm surprised it only has 6 programs, including SDSU:

Washington
Stanford
Oregon State
UCLA
SDSU
California

I think the best option would be to keep it in the big east but they won’t have it. Do we want to downgrade to another league?

 

[MilliniumPrince]

If we get the invite, I think Men's and Women's Soccer stay right where they are.

Big 12 sponsors women’s soccer so that’s not an option per NCAA rules

From the athletic article that said don’t sleep on UConn. It’s in Linda’s hands. Let’s go Linda. Get it done.

When it comes to deciding what’s next, this is not a one-man decision-making process. Yormark certainly has a lot of juice right now, but it’s his board of directors, now led in the chairperson role by Baylor president Linda Livingstone, that must sign off on making expansion moves. More Power 5 additions will garner unanimous support. If those aren’t coming next, those conference sources believe Yormark will want his board to get on board with UConn.

Linda Livingston sounds like a future villain name in UConn lore. Right next to Donna Shalala.

Overlapped with Linda during my time at GW. Guess I have to send her an email.

You couldn’t have become Baylors prez? Thanks a lot.

Linda Livingstone is one of the finest human beings in academia today and it would be an honor and a privilege to welcome her to our Husky family and to the Boneyard. Welcome aboard Linda!

"Linda Parrack was born to Doyle Parrack and his wife Charlotte. She grew up in Perkins, Oklahoma, and attended Oklahoma State University, where she also played basketball.[1] Livingstone earned her bachelor's degree in economics and management and graduated Omicron Delta Kappa in 1982, where she later returned to school for a master's in business administration (MBA).[2] She received a doctorate in 1992."

In the youtube video, he says that multiple Big 12 Presidents have visited UConn's campus.

I think Baylor is in our corner. It was the Baylor AD who said that G5 schools could get pro-rata.

I heard she dated Clark Kent, but it was nothing serious.

I heard she dated Clark Kent, but it was nothing serious.

I heard they broke up when phone booths became extinct and they could no longer use them for a quickie while Clark was changing his outfits.

It wouldn't surprise me if the Big XII starts sponsoring men's soccer. But then they'd have to add another women's sport. We'd hope that would be field hockey. WVU plays in the MAC and they are quite good.

 

[hardcorehusky]

The last Linda L that I knew of didn't have the last name of Livingstone. I could come to be a fan of this one too if we get in!!

I no longer live in CT but get back often. Seems like the New Haven and Bridgeport legacy newspaper media have at least written about this saga. Has the Courant Are they still the paper of record or have they basically given up and ceded that to CT Post and NH Register.

Before you get snarky I know it’s a dying medium but wondering who holds the most sway in it limited as it might be

Ask yourself when was the last time the local writers ever had a scoop

They write what they are able to cobble together from the Boneyard

The JI was killed about a month ago. Swallowed up into the Borg.
