the big east had a reason to keep quiet. and if you really believe not mad aresco didnt know... people were posting it here...
Yeah but that was just a few days before any public announcement that discussions had been taking place. Discussions had been on going for weeks already at that point. Once the cat was out of the bag, UConn had to come clean but at that point the cat had already been in the bag for several weeks. Aresco didn't have a clue. My point is that if both parties want to keep it quiet they can for some time before anyone gets wind of it. Sure leaks will happen sooner or later, but in this case it was later, by this time UConn didn't care if anyone found out. The high profile football team transfers earlier in the summer and spring, were very telling.

Aresco had a clue back in 2017 that this day was coming - it was just when.
Wow medic, you were pretty slow this time. Lol. It was no secret, everyone knew that UConn was not happy in the AAC, for several reasons even back then but I hope you're not saying that Aresco knew about discrete discussions between UConn and the NBE even before they started and that UConn was going independent in football. If he had known, I think he would have done everything in his power to keep us in the conference. It was easy to see he was one pi ssed off man once the news did break.

Can't read your article.

He has contacts - don’t kid yourself, he heard all the rumors and noise. He knew UConn wasn’t happy for years and he double-dog dared them.

How’d that work out for him. He should be mad.

Discrete discussions between UConn and the Big East began back in late February, and I don't think Aresco had a clue about that until much later in the spring, around the same time as the whistle blower posts on the board. Also I don't think some high profile transfers were coincidences. The ESPN+ deal wasn't good for UConn either, yet Aresco went ahead and signed it. Only thing to hope for here on in, is Edsall somehow manages 4 wins.

Not sure what high profile transfers you are talking about but they were not prompted by the Big East/Independence move.

Are you sure there wasn't any team scuttlebutt? Beavers, Dixon, Washington, Davis, Terry, and one other can't remember. Maybe, maybe not.

Instead of criticizing New Mexico State it is time for UConn to be proactive and do likewise. Start with a consultant to make a decent schedule as an independent. Then, use a firm to help get us into a P5. I am sure many will reject the idea, but so far we haven't done well with our modern athletic directors.
Good luck with that.

No P5 will touch us for a thousand years.

Building bridges that aren’t there... Davis was headed to Georgia Tech in December 2018, Beavers left for Cincy because he was homesick and becoming a father, Washington couldn’t stay out of trouble/eligible, Murphy grad transferred to be w/ Diaco who recruited him, Tarbutt grad transferred to Minnesota...

Yeah, so everyone was told. Did Jon Wholley also have a good cover story? Lol

One month prior means nothing, the first discussions took place in February.

Yeah, and Captain Smith knew the Titanic was sinking after the last lifeboat was launched. Lol

So this is what has become of the BY. A sad shell of its former self, rife with some of the most mind numbing stupidity on the Internet. I would cut some of you clowns some SLACK but I’m not sure you deserve it. Here’s who I don’t want to cut (or see on) any SLACK:

Guys like Rob who are only ever right on here when they type in their password.

Guys who take leaks next to recruits and pass themselves off as some kind of insider savant. @Chief00

Guys who take pics of their scrawny bicep with a tape measure around it and brag about not taking steroids. Who would’ve known? @superjohn

Guys who write “provocative headlines” @Palatine

Guys who RANDOMLY insert caps IN sentences with no RHYME or REASON and pontificate like a fool about about absolutely nothing that anyone cares about @Pudge

There are many more. Bottom line this place has become a big clown show. Everyone got their invites. The rest of you stay here and pollute the Internet with your stupid.

I don't know why anyone would hire a consultant for something like this. What are they going to do? There are only 2 FBS conferences that might add NMSU in anyone's wildest fantasy, and one of those conferences just kicked NMSU out. Does NMSU need the consultant to call up CUSA and see what they think? Can't the AD do that?
