First of all getting UConn was the biggest prize. I understand why Cuse or UCF fans are in denial but I scratch my head when UConn fans fail to understand this. We put the B12 significantly ahead of other conferences in bb with our addition.

Colorado was a necessity albeit not a bad one. I agree getting Arizona would have solidified it even more but an argument can be made ASU was too big a price to pay.

I rather hope Yormark’s vision proves out, that bb is the biggest untapped money maker for conferences and that the northeast market is under marketed. If the Big12 can capitalize on this and if/when the ACC implodes we can get six better properties from that conference than what U of A and ASU would provide. Or we get U of A alone at a later date.

There is no “vision”. Unless the backup plan is the main prize. And if you are the main prize you are not a backup plan.

Therefore we’re not the main prize. The only way we get in is if the PAC 12 schools back out.

I do think it's possible that for Yormark we are the prize but we were just a backup plan for the presidents.

this board was the most depressing yesterday

B12 about to get UConn’d in conference realignment both metaphorically and literally?

Probably not.

I think UConn is still going to get UConn’d, but at least there’s intrigue about it for a few more hours.

I mean it’s sorta rhetorical, I know people like their David vs Goliath matchups. But 16 seed Vanderbilt upsetting its way to the S16 will have a very similar impact.

What you are missing is that 15 or 16 seed Vanderbilt will be a horrific basketball team with zero chance of advancing. 15 and 16 seeds currently are teams that won their conferences and deserve to be there.

It certainly makes the day go by faster

Yeah, like when FCF is in bed with Jennifer Anniston he's worried about how far down the list he was when the day started.

Again GoKU made clear we were in with Colorado or in with Arizona, ASU and Colorado. We needed one or three to get the even number.

He inferred that Colorado was not the first choice to partner with us ( that was Az) but the most likely acceptable choice to become available.

Our announcement delay was not because the B12 was looking for a replacement for us but because an option came up to get another school of value and it was important to learn how that option could be made to work.

Killing the PAC 12 was the prize. We might be the consolation prize. Which would be great.

That and $18 dollars (more or less) will get you over the GW Bridge.

The PAC is still a dead man walking unless the Apple deal really works out

 

[Huskyforlife]

I thought the Kansas trolls new story was we were going with the 3 Pac schools? Which was amended from his original story that we were 14 after Colorado? I’m not prepared for the amount of glazing this dude is gonna get if we do make it in.
