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

How so? I don't think any of this really impacts us.

PAC-6 are out of programs to add. UConn football is the most viable property remaining.

This is turning into one of the more brutal public humiliations in sports history. The Pac 12 was making press releases for days about which schools they were going to add, and now they are hoping for Utah State to say "yes".

The smart move is for both sides, the MWC and Pac 2+4, to stand down and work something out.

That would probably be the smarter move, however, I'm still holding out hope for our football-only invite lol

Lol Utah State...

I’m not sure we can join the PAC for football is there’s only 2-3 other members.

There are currently 7 members. They need 8 for FBS football.

Well if the BE wanted a decent bball school that is closer than Gonzaga. Memphis would be interested and have a home for football. We get them in BE they get us in Pac12

That's the deal. We join for FB-only and agree to play a few BB games with them.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Surely there's a lifeboat somewhere for us.

Absolutely. Rotate men's and women's basketball split a home and away with PAC teams every year ('25 men home/women away, '26 you flip, for example). Would love to play Oregon St and Gonzaga in baseball, too.

How would this go over with Hurley?

Will a name change be required...Connecticut State???

 

[WrenchFan69]

I think he'd be thrilled, as it is a solution that allows him to stay in the Big East, which he loves

Bidding war maybe.

 

[Brochacho]

PAC-8 Would make a lot of sense for UConn FB. The travel would be tough but it’s only 7 trips every two years. We can focus on local opponents in the OOC. UMass, Buffalo, Cuse, BC, Temple, Rutgers.

Is RedditCFB a Key source these days? It wouldn't shock me if they had some random connects in athletic departments

Lol Utah State...

I like Utah State. Why the lol?

 

[WrenchFan69]

Uh oh

 

[WrenchFan69]

oh my god it's happening

 

[UConnTrumbull]

Uh oh

Once again the universe finds a way to screw us. This time it’s Utah State.

That solution does not keep us in the big east if a p4 conference comes calling, nor would Hurley want to
