If the Pac-9 had stayed together this morning, we would have been welcomed to the Big 12 this afternoon. We were a back-up plan, and I think we knew this.
Hahah, I can confidently say it was not him. I would never voluntarily talk to that clown
One of the dumbest things ever. Total non-starter.
The pac was never staying together. That was Oregon’s last second effort to get a better deal from the Big 10
Stop peddling this nonsense and take off the tin hat. Yormark wanted UConn and likely still does, if anything, he made us look good by signaling to to the college athletics world that there is value in our brand.
The PAC had lost their two biggest properties. Additionally they went to market during a bear stock market, so media companies were not looking to drop big money on dying conference.
Had alot of good offenses and Qbs since Ware
Lol you all roasted me when I posted this last week. I’d laugh if our entire athletics department wasn’t just nailed into a coffin.
It’s not nonsense. Like I said earlier, I spoke with someone who knew what happened. And it wasn’t some random bogus “insider” or fake donor. This is UConn’s side of the story
Kraft's subterfuge also cost UConn. The original plans for "UConn Stadium" were for a 50,000 seat domed facility at Adrien's Landing. When Kraft came in with his Barnum act, he got the State to change the blueprints to a 64,000 seat outdoor facility. The proposed original domed building was to host UConn football, & Men's & Women's basketball games. When Kraft left to go back to Foxboro, the State downsized to the RENT & only after Pratt & Whitney donated the land.
This is correct, IMO. Listen to other fanbases around the country and their podcasts that cater to them. They have the utmost respect for UConn basketball, hell how can they not? It's not UConn basketball that needs to be sold. It's UConn football that needs to be sold and that becomes easier when they perform well and have a loud raucous crowd at their games.
And to me that is the question and sobering kick in the nads. I never bought into the whole idea that a conference needs to have an even number of teams, why? They have professional companies that make their schedules anyways and it's not that hard to schedule odd number of teams.
Why couldn't the narrative be that UConn was successful before, and has shown that it can be successful again once Mora starts racking up 8 win seasons? Similar messaging to MBB.
People please. When they say “basketball only” they mean everything but football. All Olympic sports.
