We're on the radar.
Rutgers was on the B1G's radar for 20 years.
the most shocking thing about that five minutes of the Dude's show was learning he is MARRIED.
Wait... the Dude says we were in clandestined meetings with MWC schools. We are also being vetted by the biG and Big 12. That my friends is covering our bases.
1. This clandestined meeting does nothing for us basketball wise other then if CIncy is part of it and we add BYU. This also has to be a third choice and seems like a fall back if all else fails.
2. Second this group is not academically what this university wants to be tied to. I just don't see it happening. Who is even close to us in this situation. This move reeks of desperation on the Dude's part to say something new. It is a football fantasy situation and that is it unless we find a home for our olympic sports and basketball and the Big East is not going to want that. The football would be better, and leaving some of the dead weight is nice, but that is it.
3. THis new grouping would only be a holding place for the misfit toys until another group comes a knocking.
4. We have already been vetted by B1G, ACC, and Big 12 so this isn't news. Big 12 will never go 14 because Texas will be gone by then. If value of money coming in goes down they will claim that as their out. OK and Kansas too.
At the very least I hope out school gets into one of the three above at some point. Even a watered down Big 12 is better then what we have now or what the Dude is proposing. And though I hate to be the cloud that covers the little rain of sunshine but we have had everything fail up to this point so remember who the messenger is and wait for more credible people to chime in.

The Dude is on his way to a creative writing award. 100MM to pay players?
He pulled the plug on his twitter. I think the NSA was on to him.Whatever happened to MelloGroovy? If we are going to follow BS tweets we might as well follow one of our own.
why do people think texas to the Big is a forgone conclusion. They could have gone prior to the GOR but they didn't.Nothing is imminent... Texas would jump to the B1G if they could escape from the GOR and figure out what to do with the LHN...
you have to look deeper... This is the genius of Delaney.The Dude is on his way to a creative writing award. 100MM to pay players?

Texas is a big fish in a small pond playing with other small fish. There is a reason Texas stayed put earlier. why would they join a conference where they would lose their stature as the big boy.

Listen up. Solid - set in stone. If your school isn’t in the AAU the B1G isn’t interested.
So there!
