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

Where is @GoKU? Should be banned from here for all eternity.

In fairness he was probably right at some point. No one could have predicted how this all went down. It’s still super fluid. The only certainty is that we are screwed.

Why? The twitter announcement could be incorrect. It will be over shortly so let it play out before we condemn anyone.

According to Swaim, only Utah has been approved. Supposedly an "inside source".

He also said that they ASU has not been approved and may not get into the Big 12. Which leaves a spot.

Who knows?

Swaim knows nothing.

 

[GoKU]

The guy stepped in and saved their league, and they’re on the verge of crapping all over his vision anyway because they think they know better.

It’ll be interesting to see how long he stays.

This. The presidents/chancellors screwed Yormark. Unless we go to 18 with SDSU, he's not getting that "big NY moment". Utah and ASU agreed to 25 million for first 2 years. I apologize to you all. My information ended up being wrong.

No, he wasn't.

Probably. Not a fan, but just posting what he tweeted

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

No he hasn’t. In fact he categorically said Utah was out. So either the tweet is wrong and U of A is coming along with ASU or the B12 got ticked at ASU and told them it’s Utah instead. My belief is the tweet is wrong.

But aren't all the "4 corner" schools going to the Big12 what's been reported the last few weeks?

Just go away already lmao

Not sure what Stanford and Cal bring to the B1G at this point. I think the B1G is now done until the ACC implodes. B1G eventually gets to 24 with :

-Notre Dame
-UNC
-Virginia
-Georgia Tech
-Florida State
-Miami

On the school's that you mentioned:

-Notre Dame - The B1G absolutely wants them. ND will hold out joining until they feel they can no longer be an independent in football.
-UNC - The B1G wants them. It may be a battle with the SEC
-Virginia - See UNC
-Georgia Tech - The B1G may be able to justify this addition due to Atlanta. I doubt they would add them until well after the above schools
-Florida State - The B1G may be able to justify this addition due to Florida. Similar situation with Georgia Tech
-Miami - See Florida St. Not sure the B1G needs two Florida Schools

Of additional importance with Georgia Tech, Florida St and Miami, I'm not sure the B1G would accept secondary schools in a state/market that they don't have the primary properties.

I cannot get enough of this guy, What an absolute legend for this

Wow. That’s incredible. Screwed again. Don’t hold you accountable. Thanks for everything you presented.

GoKU has confirmed we’re out.

 

[Jarhead_1775]

I’m

No, he wasn't.

What a well thought out contribution.

You’re about to get pounded by others here, but I appreciate your coming back and owning it.

I speculated a couple pages up that maybe the Big 12 would negotiate a lower share from the new Pac refugees. Probably could’ve had UConn for even cheaper and gotten more in return.

It's ultimately not your fault. You're dealing with a fundamental universal constant that cannot be altered in any timeline: Rule #1 of conference realignment. It can't benefit UConn. I'm pretty sure if we did get into a "power conference," the world would end the following day.

Appreciate the info. Obviously the entire landscape pretty much shifted the last couple days. Oh well.

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Maybe now people can stop sucking off Yormack and the B12. All this forward thinking talk just to double down on schools in locations that might be inhabitable in 10 years.

Rooting for climate change!

 

[98Uconn]

All over. F it. Back to being excited about the upcoming hoops season and NC we just won. I’m worn out worrying about reassignment like me life depends on it.

 

[djct1999]

I say we cancel our game w Kansas and let them play Utah instead. We can then schedule duke at msg.

Read that West Virginia really wanted more of an East Coast presents and they were concerned travel costs. His mom is very interesting.

 

[upstater]

se

secret agreements with other conferences

But the remaining teams would lose out.

How do convince a majority to dissolve when the majority isn't leaving?

 

[upstater]

Swaim knows nothing.

He was the first to announce Utah was in

 

[Greedo]

With our luck in realignment I’m now fully expecting FSU to leave the ACC and for them to backfill with USF or some BS.

Thanks for keeping us updated. I have no doubt your info was correct at one time, but all things went to hell in a day or so with the PAC blowing up.

B12 presidents really thinking small with this move, but who knows what will happen in the future.

Flugar’s contact as ASU (the money perch) always had us behind AZ, ASU and Utah.

 

[98Uconn]

Financials and stability long term.. I get it.. and I’m bummed…But man I love playing in the Big East again and for the near term… a lot to be excited about BB wise.
