They'll report in droves when we get denied.Less than worthless. They seem actively detrimental.
The Courant uses AP Ralph’s article above for a story??
Yes it is a good thing.This is a good thing for our candiancy.
Said another way: Big 12’s media consultants came in and talked to the decision makers about UConn’s media value and how it would translate with Big 12 membership- those conversations were positive/productive enough that the decision makers are willing to continue down the path on this and didn’t immediately say “thanks but no thanks”
Why can’t Fox shave off from the big east contract whatever they would pay us in the big 12? they could renegotiate the BE deal if schools leftYup. And it’s also reported that ESPN would pony up for UConn this year too but Fox will not (since they have us for cheap). So that’s the issue.
The fact that talks continue is in our favor.
Thank you Mr. Goff for the update. Hopefully your colleagues feel the same way.Yes it is a good thing.
It's hard to say how long it's "dragged on" for certain. We pitched to the XII in 2016 and last year. These reports broke last Friday but renewed talks have been certainly going on for a while. Hopefully today was the last piece of the puzzle ($) before a vote.I'm glad to see so much optimism here for the Big 12. Don't let them bring you down! However, to me.. the longer this drags on, the less likely it seems we'll get in—it's just how realignment has worked for us. One thing is for sure: 'imminent' was off.
Hopefully this drama doesn't play out through the entire football season. Talk about a distraction. @GoKU any feel for how long this would LIKELY play out?It's hard to say how long it's "dragged on" for certain. We pitched to the XII in 2016 and last year. These reports broke last Friday but renewed talks have been certainly going on for a while. Hopefully today was the last piece of the puzzle ($) before a vote.
Putting two-and-two together, maybe that is the purpose for the leak that was made on Friday by the B12.Why can’t Fox shave off from the big east contract whatever they would pay us in the big 12? they could renegotiate the BE deal if schools left
What dragging on? The process only officially began last week.I'm glad to see so much optimism here for the Big 12. Don't let them bring you down!

You have to remember, there are only 8 schools in the current Big 12 that were in the Big 12 back in 2016. The other 8 have to be brought up to speed on what UConn does for the Big 12. This vetting by the Big 12 seems much deeper than what happened in 2023. In 2023, the Big 12 was looking for a 14th school to pair with Colorado and this time it feels like a UConn add is positioning the Big 12 for the future.It's hard to say how long it's "dragged on" for certain.

The press from this is amazing and the timing is perfect. Shows we care about football and supporting the players with NIL.
Ok. So we won’t play on fox. Only espnYup. And it’s also reported that ESPN would pony up for UConn this year too but Fox will not (since they have us for cheap). So that’s the issue.

That's what the Front Office Sports story above said what would happen to the Big East contract. I don't know if we would get the money, though. The other schools have to get some money to offset their travel costs in order to make it revenue-neutral for them.Why can’t Fox shave off from the big east contract whatever they would pay us in the big 12? they could renegotiate the BE deal if schools left
