Lmao of course it’s just Colorado. Why do I still torture myself with hope?

Disagree that no B12 invite would be a kick to the nuts or somehow worse than previous times. Unlike past times, the school is not in dire need of a move and a move to the B12 would be a good but imperfect solution. UConn is not on a sinking ship in football and certainly is not in basketball. Independent is also imperfect, but is a viable option for the near future. It's also apparent that any move made by the B12 now would not be the final round of moves in the coming years.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Really hope we are the 14th team. We just need to get in right now. There is too much uncertainty in the PAC-12, and more rats will be jumping. We just need to be in before the rush.

We should be used to this by now. Our role in conference realignment is to be the perennial bait

Ultimately, it won't just be Colorado. They don't want 13 teams. The question becomes who is team 14 or who are teams 14, 15, and 16.

Colorado approves return to Big 12: Buffaloes set to depart Pac-12 in 2024 after 13 seasons with conference

The Buffaloes are going back to the conference they helped found decades ago

www.cbssports.com

Quick highlights: mentions the interest in the four corner schools is gone?
—Previously, it was believed the Big 12 was interested in not only Colorado but the other so-called "Four Corners" schools from the Pac-12: Arizona, Arizona State and Utah. However, that interest appears to have subsided.

UConn and Gonzaga mentioned but not heavily

 

[mike012]

I don’t feel this is as big of a disaster when we missed out on the Acc. We still have the BE for bball and football was ok as in Indy so far. Have till the Acc GOR runs out to get football looking good.

 

[gioff2323]

This is hilarious

To move conferences, CU must hold a public hearing. They’re checking the box.

lol im the one who just got flamed for saying it wouldnt be horrible if we don't get an invite. im only saying here that in the end CU wont be the only team added. gun to my head, we don't get an invite and they bring over 1-3 more Pac schools. this would not be the end of the world for UConn.

So the hope is that all the other PAC 12 schools don't leave until they see the final media deal numbers and the Kliavkoff (spelling) keeps up his delay tactics with announcing the media deal so the Big 12 can offer UConn the 14th spot immediately.

 

[Ha Who]

This is setting up for an epic kick in the nuts.

Colorado is leaving the Pac-12 to return to the Big 12, sources told Action Network.

The Buffaloes will formally apply for Big 12 membership on Thursday, when the Big 12’s Board of Directors will approve the Buffs to begin Big 12 play in 2024, sources said.

An announcement is expected Thursday, pending official approval from the school’s Board of Regents, a source said. CU’s Board of Regents will meet for a second consecutive day on Thursday from 5-6 p.m. ET.

Colorado’s departure for the Big 12 could start an exodus of more Pac-12 schools to the Big 12, sources said. The most likely candidates are Arizona, Arizona State and Utah.

Arizona president Robert Robbins met with Yormark in Houston during the Final Four, sources said. Officials at Arizona State and Utah also have had informal conversations with Big 12 representatives and officials, sources said.

The only hope we have is B12 wants a more eastern presence vs. all West Coast. After all, I am sure Cincy, WVU, and UCF have something to be said about that. If UCONN has already been approved pro-rata, we should be an easy add to balance out the conference with all the PAC-12 schools.

Losing to the second most relevant school in Arizona is gonna brutal.

 

[NowInStorrs]

Really hoping for some good news soon

 

[GoKU]

This sucks. We’re gonna get left behind because of Oregon State or some bum program

Nope

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Losing to the second most relevant school in Arizona is gonna brutal.

Let's think positively regarding this: why would B12 add a second Arizona team is Arizona is in? It makes no sense to the TV networks if they can UCONN on the East Coast vs. a second Arizona team. The same can be said for UTAH when B12 already has BYU. Let's hope these B12 presidents think of the bigger picture vs. just adding schools because they got the P5 label. According to multiple sources, UCONN has already been approved by the media partners to be paid pro-rata for the media deal. If that's true, we should be evaluated on equal footing with rest of the PAC-12 teams.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Nope

You are a light at the end of a dark tunnel. Let's hope you are right. Many UCONN fans gonna be buying you drinks if we are invited.

Sources: Colorado on verge of leaving Pac-12 for Big 12

Colorado has been flirting with the Big 12 since last fall, and now it appears to be ready to leave the Pac-12 with a key board meeting on tap Thursday.

sports.yahoo.com

Is there a 14th out there? Yormark, an aggressive and calculated former leader of a New York entertainment agency, has targeted UConn as a potential expansion possibility. But the preference among many of his member schools is to first seek another Power Five program. UConn football currently competes as an independent. According to the Big 12’s new TV contract, Power Five expansion additions receive a full pro-rata share of the distribution, which is expected to start around $31 million annually per school.

It does mention in the next paragraph that interest and talk between Arizona and the Big 12 has waned lately and ASU is a factor in this.

I'm not buying Colorado being the only moving part in this. Maybe for a tiny bit but a 14th is surely in the works.

SDSU is now in the Pac clearly. Their premature letter has come to fruition.

It wouldn't surprise me if they agreed to stay one more year as a part of the deal to get them reinstated after their premature exit letter.

Yormark wants UConn. He will get what he wants. Gotta be a little more patient guys.

Who cares about SDSU. Let’s hope just one PAC team leaves or 3.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

For a truly national conference, B12 will need UCONN for its New England, NYC, and CT markets. It makes no sense to add a bunch of West Coast teams with multiple in the same state.

Yormark is a smart guy. Let's hope he can sell the rest of the B12 presidents.
