Way to dodge the issue with a garbage reply.How about the Ivy League and we get paid in endowment money? Not likely, huh? There is the CAA.
No way. You gotta keep the whole saga here. When we finally get to the BIG in 10 years we print and bind it.
Actually years ago that rule was in place, right FishyYeah let's change the rules of an 11 year old thread now!
My understanding is the B12 can add P5 schools pro-rata, but G5 get lesser shares. The million $ question is if UConn gets P5 $.Way to dodge the issue with a garbage reply.
Show me a realistic model where UConn makes more in a 20-team B12 than in a 12-team B12 and then we can converse like adults.
KSU reporter suggests UConn approved for full share. Who knows.My understanding is the B12 can add P5 schools pro-rata, but G5 get lesser shares. The million $ question is if UConn gets P5 $.
Denial is full of crocodiles...The denial is full of holes.

Not that the poster has much credibility, but over in the non-key tweets, this popped up:
It's a commonly held, no 100% incorrect, perception.Whenever someone acts like ESPN cares about us at all, and that us being in the same state is at all relevant, I take it as a sign that they are just making things up.

Bob KraftSounds like they are using UConn as a threat to AZ. If you won’t join and leave ASU behind we will move on. Just need to give UConn the thumbs up and your chances are gone.
Right now there are two power conferences, two on life support and one that’s teetering on being a hunter after being the hunted.If we want UConn to get a big annual payday, why would we want to split the prize with more and more schools, especially if not in one of the big 2 conferences? There will be a limit on how big of a media deal can be reached by the B12 regardless of how big it might grow, and adding more schools simply dilutes any impact and benefit of moving there. I'm dubious as to whether these last four B12 additions even help the B12's standing vis a vis media $.
My hope is still that there's another solution that works both financially and geographically. I have no idea what that is, but I like having rivalries.
We have never been a G5 school. We were in a BCS conference, and our athletic budget is on par with many P5 schools. Our academic reputation along with being a state flagship in addition to being in major media markets certainly differentiates us from many schools across the country including many that are currently in the P2, B12, and the little 2.Fans of other schools don't get it, or like it, but UConn is an exception because of our brand. And that we were in a BCS conference. Just like we were (are?) an exception in football scheduling and counted as a P5. It is a unique situation because the Big East has been called a P6 basketball conference and we are independent in football.
Can't continue to let the haters define us. Got to market ourselves better. Obviously, Championship is a great is a launching point.We have never been a G5 school.
