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

Any item owned by the entity, in this case the U of whatever, would be state owned. No?

Yup, but I'm pretty sure they can encumber future revenue streams, because they do that right now, just to a lesser extent.

Everytime I open this thread I'm reminded of how two California teams and a Texas team are in the Atlantic Coast Conference and we are not.
It's just incredible. Especially when the power broker is sitting right in our backyard this whole time.
It would have been nice if when decidng to extend it, ESPN could have found a way to roll us in somehow. Alas.

They don’t want us. It’s so simple.

I can't like this post enough. For anyone advocating or hoping for the all cretins crew to take us, it's never going to happen...doesn't matter that ESPN resides in CT, doesn't matter we shared historical rivalries, doesn't matter we share similar educational culture...in my head I see that conference as the Always Cancels Connecticut because this is what they've done for 13 years, the buzzing of flies has more importance to them than us. Private equity can find value in us, doesn't matter insofar as that conference is concerned (hopefully it's a different story for the Big 12). Despite what ESPN recently announced for the cretins, it's akin to a band-aid on a severed femoral artery and eventually they will bleed out their upper teams to the P2. I don't like independence for our football team (yes, our schedule is better now than in the AAC, but having something other than pride to play for would help), but it's better than pathetically pining for some partner who just isn't into us. With that said, I'm declaring for the need of key tweet or a piece of key lime pie.

I've wanted UConn to look into the Big12 going back to when WVU got in and Sue Herbst was saying publicly that putting athletes on a bus to Ames, Iowa was a bad idea.

Not because I loved the idea, but because the ACC has always been the girl that is just not into you. We were obviously the best fit in every sense and have been passed over repeatedly. When they take Cal, before you, you just gotta say fluck em.

Big12 or bust.
