Most Likely, Conference Expansion is over for B1G

All of those articles mean nothing. They make us feel better, but they don't change a thing.
This is the reality:

Delany: 'No buyer's remorse' with Rutgers

Do you honestly think Delany would publicly state otherwise even if he did have remorse? "Hey folks, I'm in charge of the most powerful athletic conference and I gotta say, this Rutgers debacle? Yeah, I really effed up."

Our football needs to get to the level Utah, Boise State, TCU were a few years back. Once that happens we'll get an invite to a P5 conference immediately.

That wasn't my point. Of course, I don't expect him to say that they effed up. And you know what? In their minds they didn't screw up. They are getting the TV sets and NY exposure, which is what they wanted. My point is, that all of these articles are feel good articles for us. That is all they are. Nothing more. The reality is that we are the only ones talking about conference expansion. No one else is.

I don't think you can state that as fact. The Big 12 being stuck at 10 teams, something has gotta give. I am sure folks are at least talking about expansion behind the scenes just so they don't get blind-sided.

In my opinion, UConn eventually winds up in the Big Ten. I don't think it will be happening this summer, though. I think more likely next year is when the Big Ten is targeting another round.

There is no way in hell a serious conference is going after NYC with a quiver containing a single arrow. That just isn't going to happen if the conference has serious intentions. So, either the B1G is adding another school or it isn't a serious conference. You decide, but it's one or the other.

W/o RU UConn's not even an afterthought so ur angst is misplaced.Unfortunately Storr's is not in NJ and RU was a target for a long time...don't blame them for being wise and don't forget the research firm say's different.
