Doubling down our west may mean he’s conceding east coast to ACC. ACC should pounce now on eastern half of US options.Now that the P12 dust has settled, it is time for BY to talk some sense into the B12 Presidents.
The latest B1G move just reinforces that is "war time" and it is going to be a battle for National relevance. There will be 3 power conferences, and the B12 is in a battle with the ACC to see who will win out. Knowing the landscape now, and assuming you already have Colorado and Arizona, do you really want to add repetitive states that you already own in Utah and Arizona State as you go to battle with the ACC...or do you begin the national battle with the ACC now. Not sure how realistic it would be...but adding UConn and Stanford (or Cal) would be a lot more strategic than adding ASU and UU. They lock themselves into the "Southwest Conference" with a couple of Midwest outliers and gives the upper hand to the ACC in the war.
Hopefully BY is able to convey what the future looks like to these B12 Presidents.
Not optimistic though.
My comment was made to make the point that "proving or disapproving" GoKU's supposed sources is not particularly important. Worry less about "winning the Internet."The response was to make the point that if he has inside info he should be able to provide the other details which he has not thus he shouldn’t speak in absolutes
Assuming they could do this without withdrawing from the NCAA the P-3 would respond "great, more money for us".The interesting thing in all of this is that the small conferences right now get such a pittance from the tournament, because the NCAA takes such a huge amount. Each small conference gets one credit, and their teams don't advance far. A pittance.
What if all the non-P3 conferences told the P2/3 to off and hold your tournament with your 40-60 members. Good luck with that!
If your initial statement is true, why bother?Doubling down our west may mean he’s conceding east coast to ACC. ACC should pounce now on eastern half of US options.
He seems to be a nut though8-4 for UConn according to a post by C W Lambert
They have the option of playing hardball now particularly if Stanford indicates interest.Unless it's the Arizona BOR who is only going to approve the deal if it's for both. Which has been my assumption all along
You guys have wasted 11 years of your life on this thread.
Yormark is smart. That doesn't mean that the people he works for are going to be willing to expand their thought process enough to see beyond football.Yormark is smart. The B1G taking Oregon and Washington plays into his vision of adding UConn for a broader conference reach. BigXII presidents will hopefully see this.
I have difficulty believing the folks at Stanford want to associate themselves with Iowa State, Texas Tech, and Central Florida in any meaningful context.They have the option of playing hardball now particularly if Stanford indicates interest.
The Big 12 schools do not want us.Yormark is smart. The B1G taking Oregon and Washington plays into his vision of adding UConn for a broader conference reach. BigXII presidents will hopefully see this.
Here is to 11 miserable more!You guys have wasted 11 years of your life on this thread.
Nah. Even 11 years ago, I was too old to have much of a life.
Perhaps, but if someone asks me "where did your 50's go?" I can show them this thread.You guys have wasted 11 years of your life on this thread.
Our appearance here is evidence enough many of us don’t have a life.Nah. Even 11 years ago, I was too old to have much of a life.
I feel like I'm slowly watching our athletic department sign a death certificate. Not immediately, but in 10-15 years?I feel like you need to take a break from this whole CR situation. Get outside, go take a walk.
But this doesn’t mean they don’t need UConn. They probably held their noses when voting in UCF, but there they are.The Big 12 schools do not want us.
A very expensive one at that.I feel like I'm slowly watching our athletic department sign a death certificate. Not immediately, but in 10-15 years?
It sucks.
In that same spirit none of this is important then.My comment was made to make the point that "proving or disapproving" GoKU's supposed sources is not particularly important. Worry less about "winning the Internet."
We know Yormark would want UConn,
