A lot of nothing but still being talked about by Ross Dellenger with 2027 as target date for resuming talks.

Was 100% on never happening, but now im 100% back in. See you guys in 2027!

LOL -- the article twice says UConn to the Big 12 is "inevitable."

I dunno who Prateek Signh is, but I like this guy.

This is the third year this has come up and while it's still feels like a tease the fact it's not going away is a good thing.

Here’s Zanetto’s full interview w/ Ross Dellenger (who is a quality follow across the board) that was cherry-picked for the article:

I was going to say this forum is dead and then you go and do this you son of a . . .

seriously, they can't bring up Big 12 every freaking summer without there being some trace of a flint spark

I don’t know if this in “inevitable” but I hope it happens. I have no doubt that conversations have bee continuing behind the scenes. If you remember the Rutgers move, those discussions went on for at least 3-4 years with many people labeling it wishful thinking by the Rutties until it happened. I sort of think this is something similar. Talks have been going on quietly behind the scenes. One day we will wake up to an announcement that yes, UConn is a member of the B12. There is also a need to keep things relatively quiet to prevent the NBE fan boyz from doing everything they can to undermine the move. I mean why would you want to play Kansas and Iowa State and Houston when you could have Seton Hall, DePaul and Butler??

The dellenger quotes are definitely key tweet worthy. Good find!

Thanks! Yes, Dellenger is def key tweet worthy, but because it's still just being floated and it was a hacky article, I thought not to induce panic and posted here instead.

Zanetto doesn’t… 😂

If UConn ever gets into big12 id be surprised if it would be for even a fractional revenue share. Heck they might even make us produce our own games just for the privilege of having BIG12 stamped on the field.

Looking at you Chris Murphy.

Let's win 10+ games this season and make things re: Big XII interesting.

 

[CTFAN4LIFE]

And beat a Big12 team in a bowl game. That way in the past two years we'd have beaten a team in both conferences we want to enter.

Especially if it's UCF. Let's reignite the rivalry!

Ross Dellenger never said that UConn to the Big 12 was inevitable. He barely discussed UConn to the Big 12.

Mark Zanetto, who is not a good interviewer, is the one who brought up realignment and UConn. Zanetto said (16:52):

"Um, but as far as like realignment and media rights,
there's it's it's an interesting one because, you know, if UConn is still considering a move to a P4 like the ACC or the Big 12, are they now more kind of waiting on media rights timelines to kind of dissipate or end?"

This is piss-poor for Zanetto to say that. If UConn is still considering a move to a P4 like the ACC or the Big 12? Give me a break. If UConn is still considering a move? This implies that 1) a move is in UConn's control and 2) they possibly aren't considering a move. Ridiculous. Neither is true.

As far as what Ross Dellenger said, he said that 1) a breakaway of basketball and football was inevitable and 2) never say never to expansion happening (not specifically UConn) before the media contracts are up.

Hey, Zanetto, you were the one who brought up UConn and the Big 12.
