I assume UConn is in the mix for ACC and B12

I assume UConn is in the mix for ACC and B12

The remaining teams would likely form a new league whose power status would depend on whether the SEC and B1G make moves. This would result in a very unstable league year after year. Basically Big East 2.0

It's highly unlikely that the BIG12's presidents, who now have a higher profile than in the last round, would be interested in UConn again. If Yormark had difficulty convincing them before, it would be even harder with schools like Louisville, Florida State, Clemson, NC State, Pitt, and possibly even BC in the mix.

No one wants BC. Not even the ACC.

If the ACC had any sense, they'd pull a mulligan, kick out BC, and taken UConn. But we know they aren't that intelligent even though they keep saying...

Oh grasshopper.

It is possible that someone will take BC, depends on their inside connections. They absolutely cannot be trusted. Cal and Stanford were taken to the ACC over the objections of FSU, Clemson, and I believe initially, UNC, because they had alumni as Presidents of other ACC schools, so therefore they had built in lobbyists. It could be the BC can have the same.

That really summarizes the whole realignment history for UConn in one non-key tweet. UConn is worthy of being invited and superior to all or most others... but let's take the others anyway.

We as husky fans have already run the models. Tell us something we don’t know. We’ve been saying that for years lol

While I hope the within two weeks rumor is true, I doubt it happens now. There are certainly still talks but the timing doesn’t make sense.

Also, why is our UConn guy so misinformed about when UConn went to the fiesta bowl - 2003 2004 really?

And why is our UConn guy not understand that our revenue in both football and basketball is lower than power conference schools because we’re not in a power conference and not getting a power conference payout?

Did I miss something?

Not the most knowledgeable conversation.

I think Mark admits to being a basketball guy and he does he good job with it. I generally like his podcasts but he’s got to do a lot better with FB if he’s going to be on a B12 podcast discussing the program.

Not saying he needs to sell the program but there’s little understanding of UConn’s past FB success. Yes, the last decade’s been terrible & that’s what B12 country associates with Uconn FB. But few know that Uconn FB had success when they were in a power conference, including several winning seasons, multiple bowls & wins, winning at places like Notre Dame & Baylor, and the BE championship & Fiesta Bowl bid in 2011. Uconn would do it again if could get in a Power conference.

 

[Waquoit]

This has to be true. The guy is LOCKED ON the Big 12!

Well if it is public, it ain't happening.

Talks to leverage our program for ACC pickens. Feels like the same FOMO power play that lead to the PAC12 collapse.

Also UConn beat Iowa State in Iowa!

Because these people are regarded

Actually we have been a member of the B12 for the last 5 years, it was never announced.

Not necessarily true. The UConn to the Big East rumor was posted on the Conference Realignment board before it happened.

UConn to the NBE?

I know I'll get crucified for this thread, but just passing along something I heard today, because it came from a very credible source. Largest private donor at Providence, directly involved in their athletic department and knows Tranghese well (who he says UConn hired as a consultant at some...
