Someone tell the B1G UConn will hold all home games at 11pm ET for 20 years if they let us in

Sources telling me B12 plans to extend acceptance to Gonzaga following the NCAA tournament. Possibly 3 east coast teams as well but those 3 are not as far along as the zags are.

BREAKING NEWS:
@ESPN only paying $9M per #Pac12 team, but now they're going to offer multiple P12 schools the same money they'll pay each to make a B12 move. If more than four I'm not a fan.

To clear this up, @ESPN will pay #Pac12 evacuees what THEY will pay #Big12 teams, which is significantly more than the $9M P12 teams each getting. Would @FoxSports do same?

BY has met with presidents from CU and AZ in recent days. Will be meeting with ASU prez soon. Tide may be turning there. Presidents are getting antsy despite public talking points. 45 seconds to PACmidnight #Pac12DoomsdayClock

Hearing that UConn is leveraging for an all sports invite from B12…and BY and networks are listening.

Obviously we're talking MH ver here, so he's just throwing more s*** against the wall and hoping something sticks, but I would hope that your AD would not consider anything other than full membership in The Big 12 at this point. If they could add UConn and potentially peel off Arizona from The PAC, they would be the unquestioned top dog in one of the two key revenue sports.
 
I should not be paying attention to this thread today. I should be feeling an elated exhaustion about my alma mater's 5th MBB National title, but alas...

Why do I have the feeling that, particularly without Texas and Oklahoma, the Big XII is the AAC with a higher payout, but only for the time being? Will UConn's closest "rival" really be West Virginia? The almighty dollar is a necessity, but I hate that UConn appears to be chasing it to the detriment of the lower revenue programs, who would also have to travel to Lawrence, Ames, Manhattan (KS), Stillwater, and varies Texas cities.

The Big Ten remains the Belle of the Ball and the ACC makes the most sense, but after UConn's AAC experience and what basketball was able to do last night, I'm not feeling the Big XII at the moment, despite the AD deficit.

For what it's worth I think Kansas, Baylor, and West Virginia beat the hell out of Wichita State, SMU, and Temple in terms of eyeballs and emotional investment

Which is why I referenced to the higher payout. However Oklahoma and Texas are what legitimized the Big XII and provided their original seat at the table. If Houston, Cinci, and USF had similar cache, TV execs should have been wet for the AAC.

If the big 12 offered us full membership, of course, we’d have to take it, but I fully agree with you that it isn’t the best fit for us.

If the ACC offered us a full membership, we’d have to take it, notwithstanding, the fact it will likely be rated at the end of the current GOR in 2036 and that the conference payout is the worst among the P5.

If the Big Ten offered us a membership, of course, we would take it gratefully! It would literally be a lifesaver for the financial stability of the athletic department, and a boon to the University as a whole. It is an a great fit, with the regional games, being Rutgers, PSU, and Maryland.

What’s the common denominator in all of those scenarios? Someone has to invite us to join. I’m not holding my breath about it. In the near term.
