Message: [QUOTE="uconnyankee, post: 4710943, member: 2041"] I think he meant he wants schools that are there to help the Big 12 grow and challenge the big boys. Long term. Not just until next media deal. What makes Big12 strong right now is no school is a threat to be plucked by another conference. You start pulling in members that are clear targets for Big, and are reaching out to Big you’re weakening the conference. He wants schools that want Big 12. That’s what he said. Now, will the Presidents live by that? Will they live by his goal of expanding markets? Going East? That’s all up for debate. If they go all in on AZ and Utah, not so much. Listening strictly to BY, there really is one school that checks almost all his boxes. That’s my hope. The concern I would have with UConn in Big 12 is whether we’d bolt to ACC if given opportunity. But Big 12 GOR sort of negates that. [/QUOTE]
