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

Unless it's the Arizona BOR who is only going to approve the deal if it's for both. Which has been my assumption all along

They have the option of playing hardball now particularly if Stanford indicates interest.

You guys have wasted 11 years of your life on this thread.

Nah. Even 11 years ago, I was too old to have much of a life.

Yormark is smart. The B1G taking Oregon and Washington plays into his vision of adding UConn for a broader conference reach. BigXII presidents will hopefully see this.

Yormark is smart. That doesn't mean that the people he works for are going to be willing to expand their thought process enough to see beyond football.

I have difficulty believing the folks at Stanford want to associate themselves with Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Central Florida in any meaningful context.

The Big 12 schools do not want us.

Here is to 11 miserable more!

As we learned by your statement on party guests & activities.

Perhaps, but if someone asks me "where did your 50's go?" I can show them this thread.

Our appearance here is evidence enough many of us don’t have a life.

I feel like you need to take a break from this whole CR situation. Get outside, go take a walk.

I feel like I'm slowly watching our athletic department sign a death certificate. Not immediately, but in 10-15 years?

It sucks.

But this doesn’t mean they don’t need UConn. They probably held their noses when voting in UCF, but there they are.

A very expensive one at that.

My comment was made to make the point that "proving or disapproving" GoKU's supposed sources is not particularly important. Worry less about "winning the Internet."

In that same spirit none of this is important then.
It’s clear I don’t post much so the “winning the internet” is just ridiculous.

 

[Incursio007]

Guys it's ok --- regardless of how this all turns out, UConn athletics will be absolutely fine.

 

[Vowelguy]

We know Yormark would want UConn,

No we don’t know that.

 

[upstater]

Assuming they could do this without withdrawing from the NCAA the P-3 would respond "great, more money for us".

Would they? What would CBS pay for a 64 team tournament composed of all 64 P3 teams?

 

[NH Husky]

If your initial statement is true, why bother?

B1G has already moved past 16. Only a matter of time until XII and SEC do the same. ACC is still only at 14 (+1). Is the ACC supposed to sit around waiting to be poached?

They'll wait for the Texas schools and Kansas if they were smart. Alas.

Disagree, I find the placement or not of Connecticut in a P5 conference enormously important, it's just the need to disprove random posters that I find meaningless.

 

[upstater]

On Twitter, most of the B12 fans who hated the idea of UConn are right now butt hurt by the Pac12 meeting this morning, and they're telling ASU/UTah to go to hell.

This comes from the meaningless-tweets-department

I look at the BY as being more interesting, stimulating and relevant than Sudoku or crossword puzzles for my aging brain.

 

[Vowelguy]

I have difficulty believing the folks at Stanford want to associate themselves with Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Central Florida in any meaningful context.

Do they prefer associating with Fresno, Boise, and Wyoming?

It’s one or the other.
Unless they want to drop to the WCC.

 

[The Yakk]

Catch up. That’s not a given anymore.

And from the Big 12s POV we aren’t preferable to UA, ASU and Utah.

, why the snark?

You said the BigXII was choosing to kill the PAC instead of taking us.

I'm saying they could take us and still kill the PAC. I'm still hopeful for an invitation, although it doesn't look great.

We will all "catch up" when there are official announcements.
