MHVer is a clown. Guy has been posting fake conf realignment stuff for 15 yearsI call BS on this. Houston averaged 25K the year before joining the B12 and 36K in year 1.

Interesting listen ... somewhat approval I guess? How are they so off about our Athletic brand as a whole?
Listen to Frank the Tank. He is the realignment guru

"Out in the middle of nowhere..." Guy is podcasting from Topeka.One guy is clueless/biased against us. Ignorance is bliss.
This is one of the better you tube videos discussing UConn. Lots of facts (some incorrect like not knowing that Connecticut gives tax breaks to ESPN). UConn discussion starts at 39:33.
Not yet. It doesn't need hockey although AZ State has a team.No hockey or men’s soccer in b12
Hockey stays in Hockey East. Men's soccer would ideally stay in the Big East, but could also join the Sun Belt which is very solid in men's soccer with Marshall (national champion in 2020), WVU (final four in 2023), Kentucky, South Carolina, and UCF competing thereNo hockey or men’s soccer in b12
No field hockey too. Ice hockey has a home in Hockey East. Men’s soccer and field hockey could remain in the Big East as an associate member or seek an affiliation with an other conference.No hockey or men’s soccer in b12

WVU and UCF now play in the Sun Belt along with Kentucky and South Carolina from the SEC. UConn could go to the Sun Belt or perhaps remain in the Big East.

Totally agree. Mostly lazy opinions by part-timers, but also some fulltime media members are lazy in their research as well. You'd think these guys could understand basic AD accounting and revenue/expsense drivers by now.Every time I watch these youtubers, I wish I could reach through my computer to correct them. As upstater said, they all think that ESPN is in our corner while we know that they haven't done a thing to help UConn, all the while getting tax breaks from Connecticut.
There is one guy who has done several shows about UConn and always mentions the deficit in the Athletic Department. He never mentions that we have been getting peanuts in media revenue for years.
In the above video, which I said was one of the better ones, those guys cite the football statistics, but don't break out our statistics when we were in a BSC conference. They also trashed the stadium and the gameday experience. I would like to make them aware of Robert Griffin's quote about playing at the Rent: "When we played at UConn my freshman year, that was the loudest place I've ever been as a football player. The stands are right next to the field, it was packed, and everyone was yelling. That was probably the coolest place for me to play at aside from Texas, Texas A&M, and Nebraska". They think all of our football facilities are sub-par. They should watch a video of the Burton Football Center.
I could go on...
Field hockey stayed in the Big East when the AAC split happened. I imagine they’ll want our national championship field hockey to stay this time too.No field hockey too. Ice hockey has a home in Hockey East. Men’s soccer and field hockey could remain in the Big East as an associate member or seek an affiliation with an other conference.
BE Soccer and field hockey may have concerns with schools dropping soccer in the near future, especially as we see the paycut from NCAA shares and all these Catholic schools suffering during the demographic cliff. Then again, sports may be one way to attract student athletes to fill seats, especially if schools aren't giving them half scholarships.No field hockey too. Ice hockey has a home in Hockey East.

"Gut instinct 60/40 UConn does not end up in the Big12" but thinks its a major first step in UConn potentially joining "way way down the road"
