That's assuming millennials will be interested in live sports programming.

Well, they (I) watch soccer. So that will be fine. Football is going to take a hit for other reasons in the future. The sport's numbers are going down in the 15-24 age range (at least NFL). Basketball will be fine though, which is why if the Big 12 rejects us, it's eastern independent football and Big East for everything else.

Well, that's one person's opinion. I'd like to see some data to support it. NBA may be the only sport that will capture millennials.

I'm not a millennial and the sports that I've stopped watching with any regularity include the NHL (whalers and I don't watch it at all, zero, haven't since they left), MLB (too boring, too long a season filled with meaningless games), and the NFL (after a Saturday watching CFB I don't need anymore FB). I've never watched that much NBA (no team).

So what exactly would you say you do (watch)?

sorry scuba but the bobs are in my head.

That's about where I'm as as well. MLB is more boring than golf, and that's saying something. I watch NFL on Sunday/Monday nights and that is casual, maybe catching a quarter.

I am actually missing the Tuesday MAC football games that were on last season more than any of the stuff I quit watching.

I used to watch all that religiously. I had whaler season tickets, watched every Yankees game between 1976 and 2013, and spent Sundays watching the NFL.

I now watch college FB, the Uconn MBB, and the EPL on Sunday mornings.

If I find myself on the sofa on a Sunday afternoon, I might flip on a Nascar race or a decent NFL game, but I'm just as likely to watch the news, a movie or nothing at all.

It's like I'm staring into a mirror (minus the whalers tickets, and not a Yankee fan). Used to watch all sports like it was my job; all football and hoops - pro and college, baseball, hockey, golf majors.... Now it is only UConn FB, UConn BB, EPL, and NFL on Sunday afternoons if we have nothing else going on, and there's no new movies/Netflix series.

He says only BYU, Houston and Cinci are being seriously considered. Good thing his opinion is worth as much as the stuff they pump out of a porta-potty.

Interesting that it claims WVU would be against Cinci. If true that is surprising as it was somewhat assumed that another school in the same time zone would be good for them.

I hate to say it but it would be better for UConn if OU and UT were highly ranked this season.

A recent survey showed that many millennials don't eat breakfast cereal because it is too much of a hassle to clean up - compared to on-the-go breakfast sandwiches or the like. Who knows what they'll be interested in down the road!

I wonder which conversation is more civilized - XII expansion talks (sounds like UH knows they are as good as they are going to get so they are desperate to move forward now) or last night's Presidential debate. At least we know the Election, for better or worse, will be over on November 8th.

I do and was trying to forget, especially if these two clowns are involved.

Though, it would give me some extra time to move to Canada.

PS - If I move to Canada, would I get in-state tuition for my kids to go to Syracuse?

It's a SUNY, so unfortunately not you'd have to be a resident of NY.

Look up. That's the joke going over your head.

Anyone have a guess whether the "jump ship" scenario that he talks about means the conf folds now as opposed to when the GOR is up?

...there is no expansion. I am told there is a plan in place to "jump ship" from #BIGXII involving current Texas schools, BYU and Houston.

5 Texas schools and BYU. Yep, that's a believable scenario.
