5,000+ in their chatroom.

we want them to stay right?

 

[MattMang23]

Yes. If they go, SEC doesn't potentially take any of the ACC schools. Additionally, BE is further raided by B12 to replenish their ranks.

Nothing yet... meeting ongoing, doors still closed.

It's got to be the SEC for this to be happening

Twitter rumor of the day is that if the SEC goes to 14 they will go to 16 with WVU and FSU. That sounds ridiculous even by twitter standards.

The answer to your question is "yes" unless Missouri goes non-linear and jumps to the Big 10 or something like that, because that would start an expansion stampede and I am confident UConn gets scooped up in that situation. Otherwise, Missouri staying in the Big 12 is probably best for UConn.

90 minutes late on a presser to say nothing new?

Most would tip off the press.....

One poster said 6:30 PM or 7:30 PM EST

If the SEC takes Florida State, the ACC probably takes UConn. Rainbows for everyone.

SEC to 16 would be GREAT for us.

 

[MattMang23]

Haha someone on the chat room on the news site used the screen name "The Big East" and said "I am here to issue a basketball only invite to Mizzou" hahaha

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Vanderbilt's AD said today in the Tennessean that the SEC would be at 13 for a few years.

No, said it could be 13 for a few years. He was hardly committal.

 

[RS9999X]

The SEC never approached Missouri

I know nothing....

What I hate about this all this lofi mobile crap used by the television stations and phone companies is the 1998 feel of 56K modems

 

[CTMike]

Missouri used to be be one of the top journalism schools. You would think that they could start a press conference on time.

 

[fasko]

Is this good or bad for UConn? Confused.

 

[Dann]

Is this good or bad for UConn? Confused.

depends on what happens

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Is this good or bad for UConn?

Yes it is.

Unfortunately, like most things, it will be the subsequent events that determine how it helps us. If Mizzou's decision in one way or another kicks off a set of events that lands us (and hopefully other current BE football members) in legitimate, major all sports conferences, it will be a good thing. If not, it will be a bad thing, especially if it strips the BE of a few more football members without us being one of the schools moving on.
