Cincinnati budgeted $26,000,000 from the conference next year .
u know what’s 4 times better than 4? 16.
Don't BE teams get about 8 right now? And the contract renegotiation is coming due for the first time since we joined.
Those schools were just added to bring those fans into conversation. Memphis/UNLV/SDSU...those schools aren't going to the B12.
It makes no sense.
That was never the logic for anyone but Twitter know it alls.
Actually I think it is a deliberate leak by Yormak intending to further destabilize the PAC. Makes it less likely that the G5 schools will want to rescue the PAC.
I agree. The information circulating in the media might be changing from minute to minute, and the timing of moves is probably somewhat unpredictable, but huge decisions like adding a member to your conference aren’t just made at the last minute. I understand why nobody here wants to get their hopes up. Still, if the most plausible rumors were always Colorado and UConn as the two Big 12 additions, then I believe this move is solid news for us.
About the Colorado full share, it could simply be someone repeating what everyone already knows. The networks have guaranteed pro rata to any P5 invite, so in that sense, the conference automatically receives $32m with Colorado's addition.
It's half for the 1st yr. I know that.
Don’t be ridiculou. Benedict is not losing his job regardless of the B12 outcome. He has done a fantastic job at UConn. We are in the conversation. Can’t ask for much more than that.
Right, but that's the same deal for Connecticut.
As he should be, he'd be losing his largest fanbase audience if we left.

He was dismissive though. Saying it made no sense and being disparaging of the school's FB aspirations. Came off like a penis to be honest.
Well yeah, he's employed by the Big East.
He loves the Big East and it's his life/job. It would be weird if it wasn't upsetting to him.
Didn't know that. Thought he worked for FOX.
Who cares. UConn in the Big 12, in all honesty, doesn't make a lot of sense. Doesn't mean it can't and won't happen, but it's absolutely not a move that "makes sense." Get off your high horse.
People don’t like change and don’t have a vision it easier to not take risks and keep people in a box
UConn is constantly in a no-win situation with the media. It's not just Fanta.
Be a professional about it. He was a petulant child about it. He is not a boneyarder when he speaks publicly.
As I said …….
What high horse? And what makes sense these days? Texas in the SEC? Nebraska and USC in the Big Ten? Get off yours asshat.
