This is my last post till this is all done, which should be by Friday or early next week. I stand by what I posted. There will be 16 teams, Colorado Arizona UConn and ASU. If I'm wrong, I will be back here to own it.
Why so many people are buying this, I’ll never understand. We’re like a week removed from his claim being we were next after Colorado, remember when we were just waiting for their announcement? And if he’s right about this, it’s not proof of anything, he’s just reading the tea leaves as they fall. Coming back to “own it” doesn’t do anything for the people who were tortured with hope, by the way.

I don't see the appeal of Arizona. If I'm the Big 12 I grab ASU and either stop at 14 or take Utah and UConn to get to 16.

Appreciate all of your updates. From pure strategies and strategic point of view, these are the best moves for the B12. This will satisfy the current B12 schools and its Eastern schools.

Why leave now if all the good stuff is about to happen? This makes me very skeptical of your information!

How many more times should he answer "are you sure?" or "are you still hearing the same thing?" before you are no longer skeptical?

The info he has spoken about has not changed other than the timing stretching out

Baylor, TCU, Colorado and BYU are rated higher academically than Arizona, ASU, Oregon, and Utah. The TCU campus is as nice as any in the country.

It's nice and I've been by there as recently as March this year. It has a looooooonnnnnnggg way to go to being as nice as anything in the country.

Geography, state flagship, basketball, P5, and possibly available.

Conferences don’t want to get turned down either.

Are we sure this guy is key lol
I'm not. He's been all over the place having us in an out then and again then out again. It seems like he's reacting to stuff that's flying around the Twitter verse more than actually having a source.

He has no inside info and posts often and randomly. Trying to build his followership.

The boneyard has become a sequel to the usual suspects. Is GoKu keyser soze or is he someone “in the know” sending anonymous but valuable info? Who knows. Remeber this, the “greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing The Boneyard he did not exist.”

Whether or not the Big 12 invite materializes, we are well-positioned for the future. With the most recent championship, the UConn brand is stronger than ever. As I’ve said before, Coach Mora is the most important person in the athletic department because perception can become reality and the current national perception of UConn football is negative. He can and will change that narrative. Not sure about the timing, but the upheaval in college athletics will work in our favor and we’ll end up in a power conference.

The question becomes sustainability. Eventually the music will stop and there will be no more chairs. The longer we aren't sitting comfortably the greater the chance we are left out.

Mora won't be here long term if we don't get into a P5 conference. If you read between the lines of his comments, it is readily apparent.

I agree but am not worried. We are too good athletically, academically, and geographically for permanent P5 shutout. One of the following will happen:
  • We are invited to the Big XII this summer.
  • We are invited to the Big XII next year once our football team has an 8 win season this fall.
  • We are invited to the ACC to replace the schools that leave for the B1G or SEC (UNC, FSU, Clemson, GT).
We just need to keep on winning and things will work out.

My best guess, is those 2 schools were vocal against signing a GOR with the Pac. They gonna turn around and sign one with the Big12? Tough to see that. The Big12 would be silly to allow themselves to be used.

Then their only option is to go independent, right?

I think the issue for UCONN is sustainability. There is so much more disruption to come in conference re-alignment with the continued raid of the PAC and the eventual departures from the ACC. UCONN will eventually find a home as long as there is the collective will and funding to sustain the athletic programs in interim.
