Mike Aresco promoting American-P6 yesterday on ESPN radio

Could NESN be an option?

UConn is the red headed step child when it comes to NESN and TV. I believe NESN is in kahoots with BC and the ACC.

It's important to recognize that what is good for the American as a whole, isn't always best for UConn.

Like we didn't notice before. I can't think of one thing that is good for UConn from the American.

NESN (and NECN for that matter) thinks New England is only comprised of 5 states.

The P5 are not going to give up any bowl games or anything that costs them revenue. Eventually the Big 12 will fold into the other P4 conferences, but that will not open up access to major bowl games for the G5

Most New Englanders don't count Connecticut as a New England state. I'm not sure why, but it is definitely true. Maybe the New York influence in Fairfield County, maybe the fact that the people have no real accent or maybe it's just that so many subconsciously hate CT because of the Whalers. Most native New Englanders are Boston fans so they would have been raised disparaging the Whale or at least overhearing people disparage the Whale in school or at work.

I was very close to the Whaler organization growing up and I was amazed by the disdain for the Whale in the other New England states. Maybe that created a divide between CT and the other 5 states along the way without anyone really knowing the rift it was creating.

Only the most desirable Big 12 schools will get new homes. The riff raff will be homeless. It is clear that teams like WVU are part of the riff raff that will be homeless as shown by their constant attempts to prop up the Big 12. The schools with a future are publicly plotting their exit.

Texas, TT, OU, Ok St, KU, KSU will all find homes in either the PAC, B1G or SEC.

Baylor, TCU will probably go to the SEC and WVU most likely will go to the ACC.
