Here's a nice video from the BOT meeting. This video will answer all your questions. I watched it twice.

Haha. Your embedded video's title is RickRoll'd, and it shows that guy's face. Not sure how many clicks you are going to get.
 
BIG NEWS. There's going to be a split!!!!

The Department of Chemical, Materials and Biomolecular Engineering is splitting into two departments - Materials Science Engineering and Chem/Biomolecular Engineering.
 
My guess is that if there indeed was any big news passed on to donors this week it was that the Board of Trustees is planning to give final approval to the basketball practice gym. While lots of stuff has been going on, this makes it official.

While I do not believe there has been big news impacting UCONN leaked to "Big Donors", if there was it couldn't possibly be this news. For one thing, it was published in the courant weeks ago that ground will be broken in the spring. Secondly, the final project budget and the fact it was on the docket for this BoT was also public news weeks ago. Anyone with a computer or $1.00 could connect those dots.

Let us continue to dream.
 
There was nothing of any impact discussed at the BOT meeting this week.

Feel free to chase your tails for another ten pages, though.

Like we're supposed to believe someone whose height and weight change on a regular basis. If anything, this confirms that things are in motion.

Well, now the OP's credibility on this board is completely shot.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were in the Department of Chemical, Material and Biomolecular Engineering. You woke up yesterday in that department, and by dinner you don't know where you are!

You have seriously underrated the one on the far left. Like her even better than your 10.

I can't see giving any of the lower than an 8. Then again, like Mike Francesa, HFD might be a hard marka.

Conspiracy Kitty says:
Which is exactly what we'd expect you to say if in fact there was a move planned to B1G since Delaney does not tolerate leaks. Well played Fishy, very well played....wait... are you growing?

Never underestimate the effect HGH (especially cyber HGH) can have.
 
OK, so, if there is any truth to Maryland and Rutty leaving (and I am sure some ACC insiders heard rumblings of this within the last couple of weeks) then maybe Uconn has been moving behind the scenes to step up to the front of the line to take the Terps spot?

I am hoping this is somehow connected to the recent smoke of conference realignments. I really hope the silence is a positive for us.

Truth to MD and ru to b10? Yes, lots of truth. Us to ACC? Who knows what'll happen there.
 
Ummmm, Mr. Money, can you come back and tell us about those dots again? Sorry about not believing you and all.
 
Too much coincidence with this original post and all the news of conference realignment?
 
Just read that fox (majority owner of BTN) bought YES. I think game over for a dream of UCONN in b1g. CT residents will already be paying high carriage for BTN when it is packaged with YES.

How is that not the same for Rutgers? Just saying.

I had already jumped to the conclusion of RU to b1g, prematurely or not. Many more Yankee fans in NJ so it seems that RU gets to ride the pinstripes...
 
Now I think the original post in this string was legit. I heard Turgeon the MD BB coach say today that he has know for about 7 days. That timing is logical, these things could not happen overnight. But if the ACC was surprised by Maryland's move, was the ACC talking to us last week? Probably not. Who then? B1G?

Maybe we are in play for B1G? If you think about our BE experience - the pundits do not reward top to bottom strength in a FB conference. Better to have a few heavyweights that can run the conference table. Maybe the Big 10 has this view and to prop their historical powers they would rather add middleweights in FB. That explains Maryland, Rutgers. I'm on board if they want to bring on the Huskies and maybe UVA based on the same assumption.

If that was the plan, why does the news re UMD & Rutgers leak but not the rest? I think it's a pipedream.

Delaney: "we thought we should seriously think about contiguous states, AAU (Association of American Universities, which concentrates on research) institutions and to determine whether or not that was plausible." Based on that, unlikely we're in the mix for B1G at this point. Also unlikely acc was unaware MD was talking to B1G. More likely that Herbst went to BoT last week to get approval to accept an acc invite if it were to come.

BoT's supposedly being informed this week. Some high level donors have received hints, but are left to connect the dots.

Not saying this is the news he is referring to but he does not say if it was good or bad news, just major, I guess this would qualify as major.
I hate to be a debby downer but if we don’t land on our feet this time we are screwed.
