Wow. That may be the non-political record for whataboutism.

I don't care that boys were in the shower and my institution didn't do anything about it because it might have hurt the football program. What about ....

Where did I defend Sandusky's Actions or the handling of events by my school? It gets tiring to read flippant remarks which make fun of a serious situation, and also demean an entire group of people with zero involvement in any scandal. Institutionalized hazing at NW has F all to do with Penn State, yet here we are. What happened at NW as no more to do with Penn State than it does Larry Nasser abusing juvenile gymnasts at MSU, or Strauss and Anderson abusing student athletes at OSU and UM respectively. Its beyond old and its all inappropriate.

You didn't defend it. Defending it would be fine -- at least you'd be taking a stand. What I accused you of doing -- because it's what you did -- was engage in whataboutism. You implied we don't have to be worried about it or discussing it because someone else did something bad as well.

It could be, but it could also be the Cross-Country issue. The Big 12 waited this long, I don't think anything's happening until after the pac-12 media day.

I agree. You pull in UConn now and give you your day in the Sun. If/when Colorado decides, they get their day too. If it’s only UConn, you are at 15 and go to division less scheduling (like the Big10) and put the Big12 in the NYC market.

Eh, they might not be. Colorado has a serious lawsuit against them regarding their Cross Country program. My guess that’s what it’s about.

Athletes Await Results of Investigation Into University of Colorado Cross-Country Program

In January, the university said the report was nearing completion. Four months later, there’s no sign of it—and no reason stated for the delay.

It has to be a continuation of this they brought it up last session

It is, but they haven’t dealt with it yet. They are still investigating. Maybe they are talking about their findings or just an update.

Memphis will never be in the Big 12. And that is a guarantee. Altimore is a PAC shill.

Gonna say this is non key

Also, theres nothing Yormark said “between the lines” that suggested UConn is a hard NO.

The only thing I saw to read into was positive for us. Non P5 schools with value are on the table.

And nothing on the board for a 4th time zone.

The circumstances at NW have zero to do with what happened at Penn State and vice versa. That's the reason it's not worth discussing. I'm not bothered by the cheap shots; this is the internet after all. What I am bothered by is that an otherwise good board is perpetuating a lazy narrative worthy of fans of little brother schools like Pitt or Rutgers. Something bad happens anywhere, compare it to Penn State. The only valid comparison is that they are universities whose athletic teams compete in the same conference. Everything else is irrelevant.

Memphis? Come on.

Altimore has definitely been schilling hard for The Pac 12, but I'd join alongside University of Phoenix if it got me in.

That’s better than Memphis State.

Yormark is "locked in" on UConn according to this clip (discussed in the first few minutes)

I’m pretty sure this guy pays for the blue check and not sure how reliable he is. He’s prob another GSwm

This guy has been all over the map with predictions. Not seeing he's right or wrong here, just that's he's said a lot of untrue crap.

@Skiblets Any chance you know Jim Williams or maybe spoke to him recently?

What about UBS arena? Brooklyn is a pita to get to from CT.

LOL is a guy quoting a guy who is quoting some unnamed booster even vaguely credible?

No.

Negative. Don’t know him. Keep an eye on Marchand from the Post. Think he knows Yormark from the latter’s days w Brooklyn
