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

Let's hope B12 rejects one of them.

Is it a good time to talk about UConn building an on campus football stadium?

SMH.

This guy is pretty much a step above Greg Flugar

Greg actually tries to get the story right.

ACC realignment rumblings: How airtight is grant of rights?

ACC schools are locked into the conference until 2036. As the SEC and Big Ten get richer, do those schools have any real options to cash in?

This is what I'm having trouble understanding. Why is Yormark the commissioner when he has a completely different vision for the conference? It makes zero sense to me.

Yet Again: you have no idea what his vision is.

You don't apply unless you've already gotten invited. It's backwards

 

[Huskies86]

Nothing. That's why Anthony says it's a stigma that we cannot shake. People do not want to touch us with a 10 foot pole because of the garbage product we've put on the field for the last 10 years.

But they didn't want us when our football was decent and we sold out our games. And they are taking teams now that have recently been terrible in football.

I think a lot of times politics is a factor in this stuff at the end, Most of these are state institutions after all. We have one Senator who was the face of a lawsuit against our former/hopefully future conference mates. And now we have another who openly said they didn't want to leave the Big East and actually compared the athletic deficit to that of the biology dept.

What is needed is a commitment from all of Connecticut fans/leaders/political figures for the same thing. There are those UConn fans that think we should stay small - the can't win at football crowd, need to keep our historic rivalries with Seton Hall and Providence and keep playing at MSG at all costs. And then there are those that want a national athletic program and will do anything to make that happen. It seems the UConn administration has been emphasizing the latter lately. But, everyone else in the UConn ecosystem isn't on board. And seems to continue to "think small".

If this is true and we are out, it would have only taken four votes to reject Utah. You mean UCF, Cinn, Kansas, and WV could not have been convinced to vote no somehow? Why are more western schools any good for them?

The guy stepped in and saved their league, and they’re on the verge of crapping all over his vision anyway because they think they know better.

It’ll be interesting to see how long he stays.

 

[uconnyankee]

WTF??!!!!
We’re not even 17 or 18 now!

 

[TheRealKBuks]

Let's hope B12 rejects one of them.

I can't understand adding Utah when they already have BYU but nothing in conference realignment makes sense to me

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Well if that’s the case it will be Utah, U of A and UConn and ASU blew it.

I don't think he's been saying that over the past few weeks has he?

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

Let's hope B12 rejects one of them.

Lol. You don't apply - you get told to apply.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

Did we apply?

You only apply after you've been approved.

 

[aburks41]

Yet Again: you have no idea what his vision is.

What are you talking about? It's been reported on numerous times and he's on the record saying he wants a northeast presence

 

[Jimbo]

Is it a good time to talk about UConn building an on campus football stadium?

SMH.

Not until we reach consensus on which Big 12 college towns make the best destinations on game days.

 

[brasssbonanzaa]

The amount of begging proposed on here right now is maddening.

 

[aburks41]

It makes perfect sense. Why? Because it's the one possibility that screws UConn.

 

[ctchamps]

I don't think he's been saying that over the past few weeks has he?

No he hasn’t. In fact he categorically said Utah was out. So either the tweet is wrong and U of A is coming along with ASU or the B12 got ticked at ASU and told them it’s Utah instead. My belief is the tweet is wrong.

Just stop. Shut off the lights when you leave.

 

[uconnyankee]

I’m done.
Shutting her down for a while. Maybe I’ll come back to a cool surprise.

Where is @GoKU? Should be banned from here for all eternity.

Newsflash: People bluff.

“on the record” means jack. It’s not like he’s guilty of perjury.

[B1GEast]

According to Swaim, only Utah has been approved. Supposedly an "inside source".

He also said that they ASU has not been approved and may not get into the Big 12. Which leaves a spot.

Who knows?

 

[Jarhead_1775]

In fairness he was probably right at some point. No one could have predicted how this all went down. It’s still super fluid. The only certainty is that we are screwed.
