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

I don't know if it's that, but there's a lot of hate on social media towards UConn. Basically they think UConn is garbage and the only thing UConn does decently is basketball. We have a perception problem and I'm not sure how you fix it.

Gratuitous bs - go away...

I whenever was the last time they went by the dairy bar. From the looks of them, they may have had more than one....

Mora just said “as a football program if we want to survive and thrive, we have to be in a Power 5”. Said there isn’t an athletic dept in the country that has done more with less than UConn.

Or athletic departments that have done less with more opportunity than B--C or Syra- ...
 
Jason Scheer, AZ reporter that has been very accurate with his reporting, indicating he's very confident AZ will say yes but that next week will be quiet as there are lots of details to be ironed out.

If this is true then I wouldn’t be popping champagne bottles yet gentlemen.

Regardless of what happens, UConn will get to the promised land. For those who missed it, this video from last year outlined exactly what UConn brings to the table (it's impressive) and what it where it should focus. Best analysis of UConn I've seen to date.

As you will note, many "to dos" are being methodically addressed.... so keep the faith!

 
This is an interview with Brett McMurphy. He says that ESPN by contract has to pay pro rata for up to four schools. Fox is not required by contract to pay for any additions, but they have verbally agreed to pay for up to two additions. The Big 12 would have to get an answer from Fox that they would pay for four additions.

(Note: This is what GoKU said. The Big 12 is waiting to hear from Fox).

I’m watching John Wick 4 and I can’t help but think of these conferences as the High Table. If we don’t get out seat, we need to channel our inner John Wick. Burn it all down.

Is that the vibe you're getting around here? Popping champagne? lmao

I was responding to those responding to GoKU. Look at the timeline of my post and theirs. The best outcome for us if the rest of the PAC stays together.
Although I do respect the A-Team

Here’s what we do know — the XII DID NOT have a completed plan to take us if CO left the PAC and joined. Because if it did, we would have been invited and accepted by now.

No one knows what will happen next, but the most common hypothesis for how we were going to get in is DOA.

Correct. If rumors are to believed, we need to wait for Fox to approve going to 16 members. Then we need to hope no one beats us out for spot 16. It’s quite a tangled web with no guarantees.

Yormark’s desire for New York exposure is the key for us. I hope he’s really married to the concept and is able to support his case when explaining why it matters.

Pretty much. I think everyone was so hinged on Colorado moving or not moving, when that started to unfold, it got exciting. Of course nothing goes as expected except the end which we all sadly can expect.

I think we all have different ways of dealing with letdown and frustration.

But to believe the rumors of your first paragraph, one has to believe that genius BY didn’t clear all easily foreseeable scenarios of Colorado joining with Fox ahead of time. That seems somewhat hard to believe, doesn’t it?
