When did Aaron Torres say UConn is out!?Unfortunately, your worst fear is coming to fruition. When Aaron Torres says we're out, it ain't good. If I was a betting person, I think a few Presidents/ADs in the league continue to say no to UConn. I'd start with Ok State. It is bizarre that a writer from Oklahoma seems obsessed with writing about UConn in his column. But I'm sure he is in line for a few more scoops for the athletic department. Never underestimate how closely the reporters and athletic departments work together in these college towns, especially outside of metro areas.
Crazier to me that the ACC would give them a break.I find it very hard to believe that FSU and Clemson agreed to a $300m payout, like Swaim claims. That's crazy
He posted a video last night.When did Aaron Torres say UConn is out!?

Yormark probably hoping by announcing UConn together with, or slightly after AZ and ASU, the haters are at least somewhat distracted from focusing negativity on our addition as they revel in their additions of the other Pac 12 Power 5 schools...
He posted a video last night.
It’s in the first few minutes, and it’s based on the Big 12 only going to 14. He’s he hearing Arizona would be 14 and that the big 12 would stop there.Can you point us to when he did in that video? I don’t have 18 minutes to listen. Thx so much.

10:40 forward is the in depth discussion about UConnCan you point us to when he did in that video? I don’t have 18 minutes to listen. Thx so much.
I think some of these Presidents are just very anti-northeast. Probably OkSt based on Tramel carrying water for someone.Again, the arguments against UConn makes no sense. If College Presidents don't know anything about sports, the argument doesn't hold weight. UConn is better academically, it opens a huge market, and it actually long term adds far more value than any corner state school.
Torres is just another blowhard talking head. He is extrapolating a BY remark from a week ago to mean that the B12 will not go past 14 and that in his opinion the 14th will be AZ. No citation of a source. So he knows no more than we do.
I’m beginning to wonderBe patient. A P5 invitation is coming (at some point)... albeit it's certainly taking a LOT longer than is justified.
ACC is under achieving. They could be proactive but instead are waiting for shoes to drop.The ACC has the better brands and the power in this. They could lose 4 schools and still have better brands. Even better, they are located in densely populated states on the Atlantic seaboard.
Yormark's entire strategy, is coast to coast, with a global presence. He wants/needs NYC to remain viable long term. Only one school provides that. This idea that football only is driving the bus is outdated. Yormark knows long term what UConn provides. Its not that hard a sell and Presidents should understand that vision. The silence is causing massive speculation by the herd. Maybe nothing has changed. They are postering for 16. If it was just Arizona and 14 schools, i think it would have been made public over the weekend.I think some of these Presidents are just very anti-northeast. Probably OkSt based on Tramel carrying water for someone.
He seems to repeat himself a lot. He’ll make statement, then rephrase it using different words. His podcast could be 1 minute, but instead it’s 5.I know he's a UConn guy but this dude knows nothing. Brutal listen.

On the other hand apparently ESPN posted something similar? Whether or not that was prior to or after the B1G news I have no idea. The B1G news changes everything.Torres is just another blowhard talking head.

If AD DB wasnt confident, would he really have given Hurley a contract that is more than the tv revenue.

I don’t Hurley’s salary is tied to TV deal. Basketball revenue (tickets, sponsors, merch) and donors are more than enough to cover Hurley’s salaryIf AD DB wasnt confident, would he really have given Hurley a contract that is more than the tv revenue. His actions say one thing that people are ignroing, his words........well, it’s been radio silence.
He also said it would be 14.Torres said if it’s 14 then AZ wins
