Non-Key Tweets

If the ACC is even in the equation, one thing to remember is under Swofford they made moves in complete silence. I have no idea if Phillips operates the same way, but there were virtually no leaks until it was all but a done deal when the ACC added teams.
 
Many of the posts here have three sources. Insecure desperation wanting to immediately get that “P5” label, trolls getting kicks out of hassling these desperate ones, and those who may really want to jump but want to position themselves to say “I told you so”.
UCONN has many options and considering the moneys and ramifications involved, are wise to be very diligent in evaluating options.
Syracuse, BC, Pitt, and others previously mentioned have to really question the value of their realignment decisions. Obviously their fan bases can’t be happy.
There’s too much money involved and UCONN brings much more than many existing P5s.
Patience is a virtue.

Until one has offers there is no decision to be patient in making.

So many have already been speculated here. No one here really knows what’s going on behind the scenes.
They could remain in the BE and remain independent while the dust settles. Dust being if BigXII take all 4 adds from PAC, something is gonna change. Join (with others) PAC remnants in football only. Create a northeast based football only league with likes of Army, Navy, UMass, Buffalo, Temple, etc. Drop down. ACC options.
I like the idea of joining Big XII. Id especially like it if they grabbed the NYC/NE, Phoenix, and Vegas markets. But not because of desperation.
Shortsightedness has killed exciting rivalries and disenfranchised fan bases. And is simply stupid business. Hasn’t anyone realized that from our AAC fiasco. I’m much happier being a UCONN sports fan than I could imagine any Syracuse or Minnesota or Pitt ….
There’s a realistic chance college football breaks away from NCAA. And the P2 will not have enough basketball content to satisfy demand. So something is gonna change. And I sure hope UCONN doesn’t end up strong armed and handcuffed into a 20 year plus deal.

Oh ok. So no actual "options"

Enough already.
I quantified my earlier post that I was purely speculating (even dreaming). Never said facts. I haven’t seen anything factual in your posts.
I am just pretty sure all parties will perform due diligence before making any decisions and also pretty sure no one who has posted something here knows what is going on behind the scenes.

This how it starts. People start turning on each other. Pretty soon Boneyard Chaos ensues.

It’s all over folks. Turn in the keys and last guy out, turn out the lights…

Yes, but as a lawyer you know offers need to be negotiated before they become contracts. And neither side is going to publicly tip their hand.

Editing after Yankees post but agreed. Last post. Trolling anyway
 
Here it comes.

There is nothing factual because I am agnostic. And pessimistic one at that.

I won’t believe we have options until they hold the press conference.

And I can read the Hartford Courant headline already:

“This is how close UConn was to being on the Big 12”

This person is clearly confusing "options" with "possibilities"

If an ACC spot were offered, UConn admin would sign the papers immediately & tell Yormark thanks for his help getting us in. What happens in 5-10 years would not matter to get to the home we’ve always pined for. Our desire for the ACC is as strong as the desire for some PAC-10 schools to avoid the Big12. Nobody is precious or noble here. It is totally mercenary. And I am highly skeptical of basketball as our ticket to the Big12. Too much bias that goes both ways. Call it wrong, call it irrational, but it exists. I think we’ll be BE/Indy until Clemson and FSU or UNC and UVA pay their huge penalty in the 2030s and go Big 2. Hope I’m totally wrong & Big12 wants us - time is too short & football will stagnate.

The ACC is basically Pac12 part 2. Phillips ate just as many paint chips as a kid as Kliavkoff. It's crazy to me that the member institutions are totally cool with such dummies being in charge of their destiny.
 
The conference the ACC is closest in comparison to is the Big XII circa 2010. Smack dab in between more stable conferences, who then spent the next decade picking the Big XII apart. Now shorn of it’s most valuable properties, the Big XII is now bargain-hunting from new unstable conferences (which is what the ACC did with the BE a couple decades before). Life in the middle of the pack, eat or be eaten. Circle of life and all that.

Nobody knows if 3 20+ team superconferences will be the landing point. Like I said, if the Big12 wants us, we’ll go. ACC will not grab us as a defensive plan. They plan on the P2 not moving past 18.
