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

Is it a good time to talk about UConn building an on campus football stadium?

SMH.

Not until we reach consensus on which Big 12 college towns make the best destinations on game days.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

The amount of begging proposed on here right now is maddening.

 

[aburks41]

I can't understand adding Utah when they already have BYU but nothing in conference realignment makes sense to me

It makes perfect sense. Why? Because it's the one possibility that screws UConn.

 

[ctchamps]

I don't think he's been saying that over the past few weeks has he?

No he hasn’t. In fact he categorically said Utah was out. So either the tweet is wrong and U of A is coming along with ASU or the B12 got ticked at ASU and told them it’s Utah instead. My belief is the tweet is wrong.

 

[Jarhead_1775]

Let's hope B12 rejects one of them.

Just stop. Shut off the lights when you leave.

 

[uconnyankee]

I’m done.
Shutting her down for a while. Maybe I’ll come back to a cool surprise.

Where is @GoKU? Should be banned from here for all eternity.

 

[Vowelguy]

What are you talking about? It's been reported on numerous times and he's on the record saying he wants a northeast presence

Newsflash: People bluff.

“on the record” means jack. It’s not like he’s guilty of perjury.

According to Swaim, only Utah has been approved. Supposedly an "inside source".

He also said that they ASU has not been approved and may not get into the Big 12. Which leaves a spot.

Who knows?

In fairness he was probably right at some point. No one could have predicted how this all went down. It’s still super fluid. The only certainty is that we are screwed.

Why? The twitter announcement could be incorrect. It will be over shortly so let it play out before we condemn anyone.

Swaim knows nothing.

 

[GoKU]

The guy stepped in and saved their league, and they’re on the verge of crapping all over his vision anyway because they think they know better.

It’ll be interesting to see how long he stays.

This. The presidents/chancellors screwed Yormark. Unless we go to 18 with SDSU, he's not getting that "big NY moment". Utah and ASU agreed to 25 million for first 2 years. I apologize to you all. My information ended up being wrong.

No, he wasn't.

Probably. Not a fan, but just posting what he tweeted

But aren't all the "4 corner" schools going to the Big12 what's been reported the last few weeks?

Just go away already lmao

Not sure what Stanford and Cal bring to the B1G at this point. I think the B1G is now done until the ACC implodes. B1G eventually gets to 24 with :

-Notre Dame
-UNC
-Virginia
-Georgia Tech
-Florida State
-Miami

On the school's that you mentioned:

-Notre Dame - The B1G absolutely wants them. ND will hold out joining until they feel they can no longer be an independent in football.
-UNC - The B1G wants them. It may be a battle with the SEC
-Virginia - See UNC
-Georgia Tech - The B1G may be able to justify this addition due to Atlanta. I doubt they would add them until well after the above schools
-Florida State - The B1G may be able to justify this addition due to Florida. Similar situation with Georgia Tech
-Miami - See Florida St. Not sure the B1G needs two Florida Schools

Of additional importance with Georgia Tech, Florida St and Miami, I'm not sure the B1G would accept secondary schools in a state/market that they don't have the primary properties.

I cannot get enough of this guy, What an absolute legend for this

Time to update the thread title: It's all gone to hell again?

Wow. That’s incredible. Screwed again. Don’t hold you accountable. Thanks for everything you presented.

GoKU has confirmed we’re out.

 

[Jarhead_1775]

I’m

No, he wasn't.

What a well thought out contribution.
