Well.....And "we" call where they live fly over country.

Too highly regarded. They would have to up their game to get to UConn's level.Seems like many presidents are mostly into academics, research and prestige? Think UConn is pretty highly regarded.
I would think Okie Lite, Tech, and Baylor schools with good basketball (not Okie recently but y'know) would be on board, especially with the football being pushed by to 2031, I assume school like BYU, Utah, or like K State wouldn't like it tho.I wonder what ADs would be anti-UConn. Probably. Okie State, Texas Tech, Baylor.
i would think WVU and Cincinnati would love UConn back. Fun games.
Let's find Steve Young who played for Greenwich High School and get him to convince our friends at BYU.I would think Okie Lite, Tech, and Baylor schools with good basketball (not Okie recently but y'know) would be on board, especially with the football being pushed by to 2031, I assume school like BYU, Utah, or like K State wouldn't like it tho.
Isn't K State serious about basketball now? They made the tournament in 2023. UConn is a plum opponent if you're looking for strength of schedule credibility.I would think Okie Lite, Tech, and Baylor schools with good basketball (not Okie recently but y'know) would be on board, especially with the football being pushed by to 2031, I assume school like BYU, Utah, or like K State wouldn't like it tho.
true, mistake on my partIsn't K State serious about basketball now? They made the tournament in 2023. UConn is a plum opponent if you're looking for strength of schedule credibility.
Nope on all three.I wonder what ADs would be anti-UConn. Probably. Okie State, Texas Tech, Baylor.
i would think WVU and Cincinnati would love UConn back. Fun games.
Meaning they would be in favor of adding UConn? Have you softened on the idea of UConn leaving for a P4?Nope on all three.
I actually think those 3 might be okay with us. I bet its TCU, Utah, and BYU as the anti-UConn faction. Maybe Colorado tooI wonder what ADs would be anti-UConn. Probably. Okie State, Texas Tech, Baylor.

My thoughts exactly (except for Colorado). We don't help football-centric TCU, Utah and BYU much, not to mention those schools are unlikely to look favorably on UConn culturally. CU might like the idea of UConn as a state flagship with good academics and a more similar cultural bent, but the football struggles might make them squeamish.I actually think those 3 might be okay with us.

They are AAU.The top academic schools in the big 12 will likely be in favor of UConn because they care about recruiting students from the northeast and being associated with similar schools from an academic profile. So I think the 4 corner schools will vote yes and that’s what is pushing UConn to be invited.
Cmon this is modern athletics. They don't give a damned about academics and it's not like our 2 and 3 stars are especially smert (intended)The top academic schools in the big 12 will likely be in favor of UConn because they care about recruiting students from the northeast and being associated with similar schools from an academic profile.

The athletic directors have already approved of UConn and that is why the presidents of the universities are going to be pitched next week. The presidents definitely care about academics and recruiting students with high academic profiles or students who can pay full tuition.Cmon this is modern athletics.

I think the football realities and regional considerations would be the strikes against us. As such I'd expect the bulk of the "no" to come from the western PAC schools. They'll all have their own reasons in the end.
2031 It’s when their tv deal expires so why does 2028 make more sense? What’s the significance of 2028?That 2031 really bothers me the more I think about it. 2028 would make so much more sense.
How do you know the AD's have already approved of UConn?The athletic directors have already approved of UConn and that is why the presidents of the universities are going to be pitched next week.
That’s what it sounded like to me. Majority of ADs supported and that’s why Yormark is now presenting to the Presidents.How do you know the AD's have already approved of UConn?
An AD will give his input to his President, positive or negative.
