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

Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought Nova's recruiting was going great. The issue is Cincy and Houston wouldn't be here and Houston sucks anyway. Cincy, Temple and Memphis are the only other name bball programs in the AAC. Memphis is headed downhill, Temple has peaked and Cincy would be in the B12. No way is that better than Nova, Marquette, PC, Creighton etc. The meat of our fanbase knows basketball and they realize schools like Creighton have a great basketball tradition. Big East basketball would rejuvenate us. I'd consider a football invite to the B12 and Big East for everything else almost as good as full B12 membership. The only downside would be that we weren't "wanted" for full membership by the B12.

it's a useless argument because i don't see Big12 invite for FB only...
My personal opinion is that unless the football is in a P5, I want nothing to do with the Big East as a Uconn fan.

Even if Cinci/Houston/UCF and USF left? Staying in the AAC after that would be suicide.

I'll play along: BYUtv is a national media outlet for BYU. A press conference has been scheduled; BYUSN is covering it for its news value.

@TravisB06052015 Not hosting. Just streaming like anyone else can.

@jaromjordan
valid point. But you can understand how suspicious (in a good way) this looks.

Jarom Jordan ‏@jaromjordan · 46m46 minutes ago
@alaskutahn
I don't. It's a scheduled news conference by the Big 12. It's not BYU's presser. There's news value.

Tyson‏@TysonHigham
@jaromjordan @mikmin5
I don't buy this explanation AT ALL!

Mikel ‏@mikmin5 · 46m46 minutes ago
Not asking you to 'buy' anything. Press conferences provide added media access to a news story. BYUtv is covering it as a service to fans.

I wouldn't call it the best. I'd honestly rather see the bball teams play Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Iowa St regularly.

Not that it makes much sense for the Big 12 to not include UConn men's hoops, but why wouldn't a hybrid Big 12 football-only / NBE arrangement increase the likelihood of quasi-OOC hoops scheduling with UT, KU, and OU?
 
Can Uconn sell its BB media rights as an independent for more than the value of the BE distribution and still have access to the NCAA tournament? If yes, then that's what they should do.

You can always schedule BB games. The only thing lost is the extra conf Tournament games. If passed over, everything needs to be on the table to generate revenue. The BE doesn't have a ton going for it either that it should be some default response.
 
Sounds to me that playing in the AAC or new Big East is a lose lose for UConn. That is precisely why this golden era of uconn athletics dies today. Football might as well not exist, men's hoops will remain competitive as long as KO is at the helm, and women's hoops will remain elite under geno. When new regimes replace our current ones, things will start to feel more like 1985 than 2025.

I'm feeling pessimistic but you're being a bit of a drama queen. Besides things ended in 2012, when UL got picked, of course we won a men's basketball title after that.

We won a title with an experienced team who remained loyal to a program post realignment. The 2014 title does nothing to support that argument.

Sure, let's ignore that we also did it with a 2nd year coach who was hired post realignment.

All I'm saying let's wait to see how things shake out. I was probably among the most bummed out, finger pointing at warde and Herbst, when Louisvile got picked ahead of us. If no one from the conference gets picked we have more time. If four teams,get picked and we don't go, were fawked.

You can't have it both ways. You can't claim that the 2014 title does nothing to support we'll be ok post-realignment because the majority of the players were recruited pre-realignment, then not acknowledge that the coach was hired post-realignment.

That's context.

The two consultants, Navigate and BHV, have gone into the meeting room, presumably to give their presentations to the Big 12 presidents.

So this is the part where they tell them UConn adds the most value and then they disregard it and add Houston.

The coach was on the staff pre-realignment and an internal hire. That is context. Hiring KO still doesn't support your argument.
 
I'm not ashamed to admit the prospect of even worse FB schedules would cause me to reconsider the allocation of time required to attend FB games in person.

This is a very important day for UConn athletics as a whole. We may end up somewhere better than the current AAC, but the clock will be ticking louder than ever.

Best case it is an interim step, worst case it is a reconsideration of the whole athletic department minus hoops, hockey, soccer and field hockey, baseball, softball

Hiring a first time head coach who wins a National Title in year 2 doesn't matter? Oooookkkkkaayyyy...

And the moment of truth is here. Vote for maximum market reach and best future media deal - then vote for some combination with UConn or vote for best culture fit and smaller future revenues - vote other school.

Exactly, just like the schools.

Thank you, X, for participating in the process. We admit that your input meant nothing, but you helped to put on one heck of a show, and we appreciate that.

You performed admirably, representing your motherland well, and we'll be sure to keep your resume "on file" for future reference.

Be sure to have a good day now, and don't let the door...
