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

The Big 12 is already on YES.... UConn's t3 would be an addition but they already show a lot of the t2 regional games.

With B-12 games already on YES here is an interesting situation..if the B-12 expands and includes UConn would a bidding war (small...but a bidding war none the less) develop between YES and SNY when Conn's deal with SNY expires? That would be interesting to see.

In regards to YES, wonder if the Comcast situation would improve. Still no YES Network offered on Comcast due to their dispute.

The bigger question would be would YES' contract with the XII be enough to tip the scales in their ongoing battle with Comcast to get YES back on Comcast's system. We know what happened when UCONN signed on with SNY: All cable systems that previously didn't carry SNY in CT. capitulated within a week.

From what ive heard YES will be back on Comcast next year.

Not too sure about that. When my uncle called them (huge Yankee fan) making a big scene (they gave him mlb package for free because they lied to him and told him he could still watch the Yankees when they played away games) they told him that he would be better off getting Direct tv or another carrier if the Yankees meant that much to him because they didn't see the situation changing anytime soon.

Listened to this last night. Definitely interesting.


Spoiler alert: Kirk predicts BYU/Cincy/UH/UConn
Ced originally had BYU/Cincy/UH/Tulane, but switched and said he's going with UConn now because "it makes too much sense"

Bohls has been a HUGE convert...was anti-UConn for the longest time. Actually the only B-12 beat writer that has mentioned UConn consistently in his list of schools for B-12 expansion is Barry Tramel.

My question is which Herbst will show up for the meeting: Sue the no holds barred tough executive negotiator, or Suzie the sorority co-ed who lets her hair down provocatively & makes doe eyes like she's begging for a date with the star quarterback?

I think you've been thinking about this juuuuust a bit too much.

let's be honest... She didn't get to be President of Uconn without understanding how to play the game.
I would worry more about items that are outside Uconn's control. I think Susan or Suzie will be just fine in this arena.

With that old coot Gee, she should play the co-ed. Like Anna Nicole Smith:

"Everyone likes the carwash."

If we get in, this board should be re-named "The Car Wash".

 

[Exit 4]

Speaking of car washes, where is Athlete94?

 

[Charley Horse]

So Houston could be part of a negotiated package. Consistent with Flugs.

Speaking of Flug, where's that imminent TCU endorsement of BYU he predicted?

 

[Penfield]

did you know Cincinnati is within 600 miles of 54% of the US population?

 

[CallMeBruce]

did you know Cincinnati is within 600 miles of 54% of the US population?

Weird, I didn't realize that the Cincinnati DMA was 1.13mm square miles.

 

[Marty Jackson]

I think Uconn is within 6 hours driving distance of 20% of the US Population...

So four months after I determine UConn is the best candidate for Big 12 expansion the sportswriters for my local paper finally start to see the light. And I'm supposed to look to them for "news"?

And I am probably just a church school hating outlier but the seemingly unanimous love for BYU just galls me.

Serious question. Do your fellow Texans understand that they can't drink beer at BYU for future away games?

 

[CL82]

C'mon, I need a little key tweet just to take the edge off of things. Then I'm cool for the day.

Obviously not and that's a very good point because I don't think think I could socialize with the people of Utah without a really good buzz.

 

[Charley Horse]

Although I will say there is a small grassroots effort among Big 12 to promote UNLV and Tulane as the schools of choice simply because of the destination cities.

If either one of these schools get in the B12 instead of Uconn I am done with college football
