Lock On- Zanetto

[UConn Dan]

No, I get it. I'm also being impatient. This goes beyond Zanetto; it's the fact that if they only have the 12 votes, well, they can still just vote and be done with. Why does it always have to be a soap opera for UConn?

Today was the media consultants. Tomorrow Yormark makes his final pitch., and I assume they'll vote. Just doing due diligence and maybe trying to build uniramous consensus so they all feel better about it.

Rule number one

Zanetto is going to have Ross Dellenger on tomorrow's show.

What am I missing here? If this is a done deal and Yormark truly has the votes why this dog and pony show?

They still need an official vote and maybe they are pushing for unanimous agreement or close to it. Keep hope alive!

Unanimous... based on the latest CBS report of 6 yes 2 no if taken today .... doesn't sound like a possibility

The way it usually works is that a straw vote is taken….if the “ayes” have enough to meet the criteria, they take the telling vote as unanimous.

What you are missing is Rule #1 when it comes to conference realignment!!!
Never underestimate Rule #1.

I wonder if Cinci or UCF had any nayes

There's zero chance they'd leak the vote as anything else. Even the 'no' schools would see the value in declaring it as unanimous.

It’s very funny to me that any of these schools would vote no. UConn would immediately be the most prestigious school in the conference both academically and athletically.

I think that's a reason to vote no for some of them.

So sour grapes

 

[BlueMAB]

I would guess BYU and Utah voting no.

UConn to Big 12 vote is ‘not imminent’

Big 12 presidents were presented a plan to add UConn to the league in all sports, including football as soon as 2031, though no vote of action was held during M

Pssh lucky guess.

Somebody’s eating it but I see it’s still hard to swallow

He says he'll take the L. That's not going to make me feel any better.

Yeah. He only cares about himself. Leaking this and reporting on it hasn’t been helpful.

 

[ScottVib]

Ultimately my assumption is the leak originated from someone who wants to kill it from happening. When you’re trying to do something unorthodox you keep it quiet until it’s fait accompli (see the move to the Big East); it keeps the people who reflexively say no to anything new or different from gaining momentum and fear-mongering enough to kill it before you can present the case about the improvements the move will generate. It keeps you from having to play extra defense while trying to hit your points (Everyone likes improvement and more money, but most people hate change).

I would guess BYU and Utah voting no.

They must not have been to Farmington CT yet. Come on!
