Why couldn't the narrative be that UConn was successful before, and has shown that it can be successful again once Mora starts racking up 8 win seasons? Similar messaging to MBB.If Mora wins, the narrative would be it is a one off, they were lucky to get an NFL coach cheap, and it won't sustain
The same way the ACC said basketball was all Calhoun
People please. When they say “basketball only” they mean everything but football. All Olympic sports.Our athletic department won’t do it to put Olympic sports. The Big east will kick us out and then where do they go?
LOL ACC
LOL ACC
That’s why I said Yormark is a snake. He completely lied straight to our administration’s face. We did nothing wrong, but he embarrassed us in front of everyone.
LOL ACC
5 or 6 times a year? That terrible?The Mansfield mafia would make sure that never happens and I am not sure I want to see Rte 195 and US 44 with 40K fans coming into and going out of campus on game day.
Truthfully, many of us wanted to join the frankenleague just to get the P5 badge and the money. Nothing else.If true, btw, that confirms what BY and the B12 really think about UConn football. And so many of you wanted to just bend over to join that frankenleague that doesn't even respect UConn. Embarassing.

Seriously. What did they think they were getting Oregon, UW, Zona, ASU, Utah?5-7?
Because ESPN's #1 priority seems to be protecting Syracuse "turf".Good grief. How are these imbeciles in charge of running billion dollar conferences???
So the ACC is going to pay $20MM a year just for UConn basketball? Talk about dreaming...I'd rather be in the ACC as a basketball-only. 5-6 game football arrangement. 20 million per year. 1st team to leave we replace. Bowl tie-in.
If Florida St. knows it will not get an SEC invite, they may bite if the money is in the ballpark as they could see XII as an easier way to get to the football playoffs than fighting through Georgia/Alabama/Texas/Oklahoma or USC/Ohio St/Michigan every year.FSU will not be joining the Big 12.
ESPN doesnt want to open up the ACC tv contract. That’s why they orchestrated the dispersal of the Pac12 teams to where they wanted them to go.Good grief. How are these imbeciles in charge of running billion dollar conferences???
What's worse? He was interested and we couldn't close, or we got played again?I’m sure Yormark was genuine in his interest. This is foolish.

If both money and P5 end up coming via ACC, the end result is much much better.
When the playoff goes to 12 teams in a few years, 5 spots will go to the Big 10, 5 to the SEC, 1 to the Big 12, and 1 to Notre Dame.

Oh no
My guess is that ESPN steered them away from UConn. Connecticut needs to give ESPN more tax breaksWhat's worse? He was interested and we couldn't close, or we got played again?
Especially since they're going to be paying top dollar for 2 schools in Utah and Arizona. Way to expand your reach.Don't know how to break it to you (or @shizzle787 ) but next round of BE media negotiations could be very disappointing. They have little reason to offer an increase over the current deal.
How do you not realize that this killed the future of our basketball program?If true, btw, that confirms what BY and the B12 really think about UConn football. And so many of you wanted to just bend over to join that frankenleague that doesn't even respect UConn. Embarassing.
