Agree until the last sentence. You take your opportunities where you find them. If we've got a chance today, we jump all over it. Imagining that things will lineup exactly right so we will have another opportunity in the future isn't a plan. It's a daydream

I agree it’s dreaming. But I think we can achieve a winning football program faster against ACC competition while protecting basketball. And I said “more likely” (than XII).

Yeah and a huge risk. As they say you take the bird in hand.
 
If we are talking to the ACC, that is bad news. They have never had major interest in us (and adding us does nothing to placate FSU’s temper tantrum), and indicates the Big 12 is not happening. The Nelsonmuntz nightmare scenario that everyone scoffed at is on the table.

Losing to Utah, the second school in a state that has a smaller population, is much more spread out, and less wealthy than Connecticut would be a bad look for UConn’s leadership.

There's already been two super conferences in football for a while now in terms of money and one super conference in football in terms of winning. If they think those two conferences will get even bigger and more powerful with one of them taking home all the hardware every year, well duh.

If we get passed up again it's just the fault of the BOT. Those are the people that have been guiding us through this mess for the last decade+ and failing to right the ship in a timely manner.

Please explain why it would be a bad look for UConn's leadership and not the B12's.
 
I’d also prefer the big 10 or 12, but maybe the acc has something big up their sleeve. How about a merger between the acc and big East? Obviously some of the schools would be b-ball only. It would be a power house in b-ball and offer good rivalries in football.

All I know is if we get into one of these conferences we start with the top football, b-ball and baseball coaches in any of them.

If they grabbed us, St John’s, Villanova, and Georgetown they would immediately torpedo any other conference’s hope for owning NYC.

I know this Board had a lot of Susan Herbst super fans, but how much has being on the wrong side of conference realignment cost CT tax payers? What is the economic impact for playing in front of 18K instead of 40K? How much would hotels, restaurants, etc benefit from playing schools that actually travel to see their team play? The numbers have to be staggering. So yes, the UConn administration, Trustees, politicians all deserve to be held accountable for being one of just 2 schools being left behind. BTW, if ACC implodes, you’re kidding yourselves if you think we will be the first call. If anything, the Big 12 going west, only increases the chances of the ACC stealing WVU and maybe Cincinnati. USF will be ahead of us too.

It’s an example of once a school is in the club they’re set for their existence.


















Except for UConn

Technically any team from the old Big East that plays football, so us, Temple, and USF. Can't think of any other instances of schools being relegated.

There is smoke. Realistically who are they going to add? The PAC 12 remains?

They aren’t poaching any P5 conferences.

USF, Temple, Navy, Buffalo….
The way things are going, ECU even.

Or how about sdsu
