All public statements (and private comments from UConn people to fans) indicate we were in the Big 12 until literally the night before. I think we were overall Plan B, but became more of a Plan A as the PAC 12 media negotiations dragged on. Then the B1G came in and blew up the PAC. I honestly think that was a very late development. Then the B12 had a blown up PAC and their Plan A.

Are Zoo et al be correct that there is a strong desire for some B12 institutions not to add UConn? Of course. Did it all unfold according to their plan, exactly as they thought it would? I don't think so. But it ended up they way they wanted.

Whatever. I'm more concerned about what this means moving forward. Does the addition of the corner schools last summer help Yormark convince the B12 membership to expand east next time? And if yes, would that include UConn? It may not. If the ACC blows up, we may not be more attractive than available brands. I think we are, but I am not a B12 president or chairman of a Board of Trustees. We will see.
