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

Utah.

Then the Big 12 would have the two Utes.

The original tweet said not a four corners school. So it would be Oregon or UW.

One would think Washington and Oregon are Big10 bound.

One would think Washington and Oregon are Big10 bound.

No chance these schools want to join the B12 unless they have absolutely no choice. The same can be said for Cal and Stanford. All 4 of those schools will be B10 or stick together to form something else.

The only thing that makes me believe is the absolute waste of time on his end if he’s just making it up.

 

[TRest]

Arizona will be inhabitable in a decade so not the smart long term play.

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

Not my best trait. Are you thinking days or weeks?

 

[Jimdish255]

You'll be happy, give it a few days.

Don't be discouraged. Everybody here has Stockholm Syndrome.

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.

I just hope that light is not connected to the train that is going to run us over!

The move to P2 has begun! We, the P2, can outspend anyone and you will never catch up.

This is such a gross violation of NIL because the value transfer is based upon the program brand not the individual player. This is pure BS. There should be a general fund with level payments for all. If a kid wants a NIL deal it has to be his face no relation to football, school brand, etc.

 

[TRest]

That all depends on Coach Prime. They could easily do it in football. In Basketball they have a very good recruiting class coming in, but winning that conference is next to impossible, even more so if UConn joins.

Coach Sanders hasn’t won jack at a very lower level.

“If the rest of the Pac-12 holds together and doesn’t follow Colorado, Big 12 commissioner Brett Yormark would like to target American Athletic Conference football and Big East basketball member Connecticut. There is belief within the conference that Yormark is far more enamored with the Huskies than other members, but that he would have gained further credibility and trust by delivering Colorado. Thus the Big 12 could sign off on pursuit of UConn, a basketball gold mine in the northeast but a football underachiever over the last decade.”

I'll take my chances. I am sure on this.

Uhh. Pat Forde thinks we're in the AAC for football.

Well you’re on the clock now. Put me down as someone who thinks you have an accurate take on this. Also would love Arizona in the Big12.

Unintentionally funny post.

It's inhabitable now and many people are moving to that state. Just in case there's an edit and it gets changed to "uninhabitable".

Regardless of the slip up, it seems clear we’re the backup for the four corner schools.

[king conn]

Is AD David Benedict monitoring the situation?

 

[FfldCntyFan]

What's clear is that Forde (who has always enjoyed taking digs at us) believes we are no better than a backup choice. He isn't part of the decision making process so........

He probably called up Warde Manuel for advice.

Utah.

Utah is one of the 4 corners. He said it wasn't a 4 corner school

You think Forde and Mcmurphy are making it up?

 

[HuskyHawk]

Nope

I think we need to buy you a beer at Lawrence Brewing if this comes through. Plus that’s now three KU fans we tolerate around here (well, not everyone tolerates me).

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

A good argument could be made that we are the opposite of bait. If it were just Colorado right now, many of those schools would be thinking that only one spot is left, and someone else might leave.

I bet you some of those schools are right now hoping UConn gets picked up. That way, they can add San Diego St and just move on with current members.

 

[FfldCntyFan]

I don't think we are clearly a backup plan.

 

[upstater]

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.

If this plan to include TV money in NILs goes through, look into dropping down to D2 if you're not making $50m a year.

Not my (albeit optimistic) read - I think the UC news is not official and until it is (tomorrow evening at the earliest) there is no way that UConn can be announced.
