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

Because they are a P5 school with a high level football program and a great HC. They would immediately become the team to beat if they joined. Adding Utah strengthens Big 12 football way more than adding UConn strengthens their basketball as it's already the best bball conference + they're adding Arizona. Sucks, but that's the way this stuff goes.

I don't think conferences care as much as people think about the quality of a school's program that can change fairly quickly. The metrics ae more about fan base, tv ratings etc.

I’m still hoping you can leave for vacation with a smile on your face.

Me too

If this were the case, UCF would've NEVER been added to the Big 12.

Previous commissioner. Maybe why he’s gone.

No offense but those do not sound like fun parties

Who said they were fun. When I was at Yale Law, I guaranty you I wasn't fun enough to go to Brett Kavanaugh's parties.

 

[businesslawyer]

Kind of like those St A’s or AD parties?

I wouldn't have been allowed anywhere near St. As. Spent plenty of time visiting friends at AD, expecially the hump night parties.

UCF is a huge school in Orlando, in a heavily recruited football area

Even if they were new, people would give them the benefit of the doubt

Hump night parties? Did Rick Pitino sponsor these?

For what it's worth, the big east is terrible for women's basketball. In the big 12 at least they would have some competitive schools to play.

It's also rancid for baseball. And baseball is a rising program and needs a stronger conference to have tougher competition to better condition them for the NCAAs

While I do love the BIG EAST, I put my personal love aside for what's best for UConn. And that's being in the Big 12 (at least for now). So, this morning I created a spreadsheet of email addresses for the Presidents of all BIG 12 schools and emailed them why they would be stupid (not that word of course) to pass on UConn again and why UConn would be a value add addition.

If anyone wants to do the same, DM me and I can share the spreadsheet/emails with you. Maybe these people need to see that there is actualy such thing as passionate fan base north/east of the Mason Dixon. I'm still hearing UConn is confident, but that means nothing in a game of realignment where anything goes.

That's great. Apologies for a dumb question, but how do I DM you?

 

[greenday61892]

At the parties I go to, the people like actual facts and talk about realities.

 

[superjohn]

But maybe not much longer.

I hope you're right but they've had a million chances to move on us and we're still here.

Nova football in the SEC would be like SUNY Oswego men's basketball in the Big East.

Also, Jay retired more than a year ago. I don't see Neptune competing for a title for a long time, maybe ever.

Let's give Neptune a chance. They should be very good this year, if he doesn't do anything with that roster it's probably time for Nova Nation to worry.

Losing TX & OK and adding Hou and Cin moves the B12 not that far from the BgE.

I have always loved that "Basketball Capital of the World". We need to use that more as part of our branding.

And, as I like to say, WE didn't say that about us, Jay Bilas said it!

Dave is having fun today! He's feeling it!

Nobody cares about that school, not even people in Orlando.

If there is nothing you can do why not have fun with something he can. He still has to run an athletic department instead of firing up some kind of dark magic entity to take over Salt Lake City

He’s trying to distract us from our Big 12 failure by showing us our shiny new court lol
