All this speculation is just nuts. I can't wait until it is over, and we are in.

If only our football program is decent, all of these bashing Uconn football would be moot. While many of us know football will be back on top, it is hard to convince a bunch of ignorant folks that continue to bash UConn with false info. We will never be a program like Vandy, and there is no way in hell we will be a basement dweller in any conference for football.

Well the new information is that media consultants are going to make a presentation to the Big 12 AD's and Presidents. I think this is a good thing. As someone else posted a few days ago, it seems like something has changed with ESPN. That they want UConn in their inventory. There is also the growth in popularity of women's basketball. Also the market size, which would be the largest in the Big 12.
I think the drive is indeed coming from espn. They are helping us get on power conf super yacht before it gets too far away.

Rehiring Edsall was one of the worst mistakes. I know he was one of the few affordable coaches because UConn was in a budget pinch, but it was a bad move to hire him. I am not Nostradamus, but I still remember the day having to click into the hyperlink "UConn hires next coach" to only find out it was the retread hire of Randy Edsall. I was demoralized as I knew that was going to fail and it certainly did, even more than I thought it would.
Yep felt the same. It was one of the worst move ever. Hiring coach P was horrible too. We made some huge mistakes hiring these 2.

LOL, my thoughts exactly, we are Charlie Brown about to kick the ball, again.

I've grown numb to it.
Same. Part of it is that, though I believe it is absolutely a necessary next step for us, I'm not that thrilled about leaving the big east and joining the big 12. And, of course, part of it is also a "yeah, I've been here before. I'll believe it when I see it" attitude.

Don't forget the clinically insane Bob Diaco. The irony is that I can see the logic behind everyone of these hires. They all went catastrophically wrong, though..

This is a big news week. Can we clearly the net and only post key tweets?

Pretty please with a cherry on top?

We have 25 other discussion threads.
It's like you don't know us at all anymore.

(Sorry, it's pretty much a reflex at this point.)

is this key now?



"Should the Big12 add UConn? Whether or not they should or shouldn't they are going to and I'm going to tell you why"

WOW listen to his tune change filled with facts....

FINALLY. Colorado has had 2 winning seasons in football in 15 years ...
Kansas was what UConn is now 10 years ago...
UConn is better than Colorado in sports overall...
The only reason Colorado made more money is because they had the PAC12 media deal.

How did it take this long ... he must have finally done his homework... the question is why NOW defend UConn :)

Won't believe we're getting yanked around for a 3rd time
To be honest, I could totally see it happening again. I don't think it's deliberate. I just think there is a divergence between what Yormark thinks is the smart move and the opinion of some conference presidents.

If nothing else it's obvious some schools hate us for whatever reason that I don't quite understand.

It's tame here compared to a lot of boards. If anything they should be impressed by how active it is. Most boards are dead

Haven't ventured out to other fan sites since way back in the 16 team BE days. This board, to your point, is insanely active. Something breaks and it's on here immediately.

UConn is invisible to these people, and our accomplishments are always, always ignored or negatively misdescribed. We could probably win the College World Series and these know-it-alls would totally forget about it the second they shut the TV off.
