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

The Board of Regents meeting is going to last for half an hour. How much discussion of the media deal is going to take place in half an hour? That's why I think it's a vote.

Agreed. This feels like CUs public Board meeting last week

I think UConn Dan is right. This is the vote before the public vote.

 

[Waquoit]

What we need is a little more self criticism.

No, we don't. We get enough criticism from the Tramel's and the Forde's of the world.

 

[Waquoit]

Yeah but is it Az ASU Utah that are "excited and aligned?"

But are they "pumped and jacked"?

 

[CL82]

Because there would be zero reason delay the invite once Colorado accepted. The leverage thing people are trying to convince themselves of is fantasy land crap. We are either team #16 or we are out.

My guess is after this is all over and UConn is left in the dust again, reports will come out that we were never even seriously considered and it will be a complete embarrassment

Lol, dude you are so damaged. Let us crash and burn first below you start bumming about it!

 

[uconnyankee]

Wouldn't the opposite be true as well? If the numbers were garbage, Arizona would leak them and bounce to the B12 immediately.

This is exactly how I read it. The President of Arizona is now on the PAC committee now too right?

Something something definition of insanity.

I am not getting my hopes up about it. What's rule #1 about conference realignment?

I'm not saying that you're wrong, I'm just saying wait for the nut shot before you curl up into a ball on the ground.

To everything there is a season.

But this situation does not feel similar to 2011 and 2014

Rule 1 definitely still in play though ..

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

The theory that holds with BY getting UConn in based on delivering 3 PAC schools sounds good

But Big 12 schools may say, you brought us 3 crappy football schools, we don't want 4, give us Utah.

The Big12 fans I’ve interacted with on Twitter believe that Colorado is still the Colorado of the early 90s and Arizona has unlimited potential.

I would never had guessed this. I say we get the invite. I base it on Yormack’s remarks and my belief that GoKU has connections and came here to reassure us.

I could have the correct read or be totally wrong. We’ll find out soon enough.

I’m enjoying this entire process as if my supposition is correct. If it turns out I’m wrong I’m pretty sure I won’t be any more angry or disappointed than those of you who are are feeling angry or disappointed now and probably at that time as well.

If it turns out positively I’ll have had months of feeling good plus all the celebration that comes with it.

I believe it's "Never talk about realignment."

I think this guy is credible… good news if true

Dooomed.

Colorado of the early 90's made their bones on talent from California if I remember right. I think that was one of the reasons the PAC was enticing to them. That pipeline dried up I would assume based on results the last 20 years.

It's hilarious. I agree Colorado with Deion might make a lot of noise, but he'll leave for the SEC the first chance he gets. It blows my mind how they think Arizona has any higher potential in football than we do.

 

[Figurehead]

Hmmm....no agreement to me means they didn't like what they heard.

Yes, it means let us go back and make a phone call to the Big 12 office to confirm something.

At this level, he's going to have coach well. He's not going to trot out a superior team talent wise relative to his conference opponents.

 

[Figurehead]

He’s credible but all his takes are pro PAC even in their darkest hours.

He is a hack and those on twitter have been higlighting each move he got wrong in the last 6 months. He has a so pro Pac administration slant it is ridiculous. Some call him Bagdad Bob.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

Right now I am just hoping the PAC-12 can somehow get a good enough deal where no one else is leaving. We just need to be #14.

I disagree that he'll have a lack of talent. I think he will be able to out recruit all the schools in the Big 12. He's already managed to put together a top 25 class in very little time. It still remains to be seen if he has what it takes to coach at a P5 level.

 

[businesslawyer]

This I believe. Mostly because it means while we've been treated to scores of experts and genuises telling us they know what UofA is going to do, it probably indicates that the university itself does not yet know what it is going to do.

So if none of the Pac 12 schools, including the 2 most valuable brands, UCLA and USC, could hit those benchmarks, then why exactly does the Big 12 even think any of the leftovers are valuable, like at all? This is maddening. If these schools didn't have the P5 moniker attached to them out of sheer luck, they would be on the streets begging.
