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

Serious question. Are many on this board too young to have live through through this realignment nightmare?

The problem is everyone knows UConn isn’t going anywhere and will always be available.
UConn is like a 6 in a bar at 10:00pm. No one is gonna try and pick up UConn when there are still 8 and 10’s in the bar. UConn will have wait until 15 minutes before closing time and hope all the 8‘s and 10’s have gone home.

Therein lies the misconception. Never underestimate how well a 6 can perform, because a 6 needs to. A few years with P5 funding and UConn = Bo Derek

It's a Barstool guy, but he's prominent enough that it's key. There's always the chance he's trolling a bit because it's Barstool. But their reporters are not on the level of the Twitterati so it's unlikely he completely pulled this out of his ass.

He’s also from Connecticut and a big UConn fan fwiw

New to this board so forgive me if this has been discussed but does anyone have a sense of what our plan b is if this falls through? Do we think football can continue surviving as an independent for the foreseeable future? Mostly I’m thinking of the financial strain not so much the success.

Depends what your definition of foreseeable future is. Independence for UConn is certainly doable for the coming ~5 years. The upcoming schedules are solid, a good amount of P5 games, and mostly full through 2027. Future UConn Football Schedules | FBSchedules.com

I don't think it's a permanent solution though. However, it does provide a path forward to sustain and build success until the inevitable next round of realignment happens - which will 100% happen. Unlike in past rounds where UConn wasn't invited, the program is on much more stable ground than being on the sinking ship old Big East or the AAC.
 
I understand that one can’t be totally certain about anything when it comes to realignment, BUT I can’t imagine the Big Ten being interested in Clemson. I find FSU hard to believe, but it’s a good university in a state that is a major recruiting grounds and is 3rd largest in population. But Clemson? The Big Ten values educational reputation and flagships and markets. I can’t see it.

For the record- there is zero planet in which Jack Mac is key

Florida State and Clemson just don't feel like good fits in Big Ten- would rather see UNC
 
I'd be really pessimistic right now if not for 2 things.

1. Bill Self went right past 14 and said they were looking to add 16, whether that meant 3 Pac12 teams and a BE team "like UConn." But, I suppose, he could've also meant 4 Pac12 teams.

2. Dave Benedict retweeted a mock tweet making fun of a B12 fan saying UConn is the last choice behind 15 to 20 G5s. That's a look

That's not going to happen. Better chance at nobody else from the PAC than that.

Sounds plausible. But why the delay in announcing UConn to the Big 12 or waiting for the Arizona schools to bolt if it is definitely happening?

a serious rumor. That's like strenuously objecting. Or grave danger. Is there another kind?
