I agree but we are driving ourselves crazy.This, Danny’s extension, B12 Rucker program, the mention of Women’s basketball, etc. Tea leaves for the good guys.

UConn would draw a crowd for its first season in the Big 12 regardless of record. You bring up Cinci, UCF, and Houston here...and I suppose that's fair...but those would now be the least interesting conference foes UConn would be playing, as opposed to the most interesting as they were in the AAC.yeah it's such an outlandish thing to think we'll magically sell out UCF, Cincinatti and Houston when we were in the same conference as them a few years ago and didn't come close to selling out those games. Like, we have the data that shows how many people showed up. The last time we played Cinci at home we drew 20,000. 23,000 for UCF. 12,000 for Houston.
if we suck, it won't matter if we're playing Iowa State or Texas Tech. We still won't draw a crowd.
BYU drew 35,150 in a 2-10 Diaco year. They don't sellout now? I consider them around the B12 median.If we join the Big XII I hope you're right. But I would take the other side of that.
Seriously? That list is almost the opposite of prior conference additions.
No school has one more men's and women's titles combined than Connecticut.
It sure looks like it. Pretty much the same way that you can tell the likely target of a coaching job listing by looking at the published criteria for the job.He's taking an ends justify the means approach. Yormack wants a footprint in the Northeast and UConn is that conduit. So, you look at what UConn brings to the table and you emphasize those strong points at selection criteria.
Ha ha. Not just coaching jobs. How many postings have you seen where you work where the posting practically says "Must be named Dan Hurley."It sure looks like it. Pretty much the same way that you can tell the likely target of a coaching job listing by looking at the published criteria for the job.
Pretty sure that’s right. Off the top of my head:I doubt the entire B12 conference combined has more titles than CT does all by itself. And B12 has Kansas and Baylor who each have multiples.
All the time if your company has a lot of H-1Bs.Ha ha. Not just coaching jobs. How many postings have you seen where you work where the posting practically says "Must be named Dan Hurley."
This does not look right with all due respect to the top of your head. Surely the B12 has more natty's combined than UConn. No??? Has the top of your head been following B12 non-football championships that closely? If so, maybe a better question is why, but I will not ask that at this time?Pretty sure that’s right. Off the top of my head:
Kansas (4) + Baylor (4) + Oklahoma St. (2) + Cincinnati (2) + Texas Tech (1) + departing Texas (1) = 14
And 14 is not as many as 16.
I do worry about the stability of the Big 12 were we to go there if the Pac 12 recovers its footing, financially and prestige wiseAnother data point about the likelihood of a good PAC media rights agreement. Exec summary. Not very good.
CBS guy quote:
‘We’re gonna see a lot of movement since the Pac-12 media rights deal is sort of all over the place — we’ve seen Apple kinda go away, we’ve seen the CW kind of go. The Pac-12’s a big-time mess right now, due in large part to Larry Scott, the former commissioner who really sent this whole thing into a spiral 10 years ago.’
This was in response to a couple posts that were men's and women's basketball specific.This does not look right with all due respect to the top of your head.

If B12 gets to add Cincy's 2, they don't get to keep Texas' 1. So 16>13. Or soon will be anyway. When does Texas officially leave?Pretty sure that’s right. Off the top of my head:
Kansas (4) + Baylor (4) + Oklahoma St. (2) + Cincinnati (2) + Texas Tech (1) + departing Texas (1) = 14
And 14 is not as many as 16.
The same day UConn arrivesIf B12 gets to add Cincy's 2, they don't get to keep Texas' 1. So 16>13. Or soon will be anyway. When does Texas officially leave?
UA and ASU are seperate markets. Tucson and Phoenix. Also, the rivalry is great and keeping them together adds value.Also possible is that the Big 12 takes 3 of the 4 corner schools and UConn. I don't see why the Big 12 would want 2 Arizona schools. I think UConn is a better add than the second Arizona school.
In fairness, it isn't THAT far off. First, he did mention that the post was a response to someone that posted about men's/women's basketball.Just slightly off
championships won as members of the Big 12 (since 1996-97) in conference-sponsored sports are included.
