Gonzaga wanted too much money. My understanding is the Big 12 is no longer discussing adding them.

? How much is too much?

For the moment, forget the TV $/exposure.

If you are a Big12 President, with geographic and cultural ties to the traditional “western” Mid-West, you have just added four schools from Florida, Ohio, Utah and, (OK) Texas. Not long ago you added West Virginia as your eastern outpost.

What do your schools have in common with New England?

A UConn grad, I want Big12 membership. But it won’t surprise me if their ADs say yes, while the Presidents say no.

The way this is trending is, well, not giving me good feelings. What do they say? Once bitten, twice shy. Yeah, well, more like, we will get fooled again. I hope UConn fans don't end up like this:

I’m not sure why the presidents would say no to, what would be, the best academic school in the B12.

Yormark is not the only one thinking this way. There is a decent good chance that football and basketball will be decoupled at some point. It really depends on how streaming content is sold directly to consumers. There are a lot of ways this can go.

If the basketball tournament didn't fund the NCAA operations, basketball would be a much more profitable sport than it is right now. And, people have downplayed the value of basketball TV rights and Yormack see that. So, I don't think it's a crazy idea to try to separate the media contracts for football and basketball.

If Aliens get revealed before we end up in a P5 conference then we are officially in the weirdest timeline

If you know all this, why don’t you know when the announcement is happening?

No idea.

That's up to Colorado.

This is a key tweet

How can you be so sure this is going to happen if Colorado hasn’t made up their mind?

Non key Flugs - does he know anything? I don’t think so- he just knows where to look because like the rest of us he is rather obsessed too.

I never said it was going to happen. I said Colorado joins the Big12, UConn will be 14. I don't know which way Colorado is leaning.

Hoping the CO BOR means something is happening. It is so confusing bc Flugar still has us behind AZ, ASU and Utah.

None of those schools are leaving the PAC. And even if they did, the Big 12 is only taking 3 more western schools with BYU.

The Colorado board meeting says "legal advice on a specific matter - athletics operations"

Hopefully, this is the one. These prior closed door instances were relating to track & field misconduct, this sounds more encompassing of the athletics department as whole, and hopefully it's about conference affiliation.

Soooo doomed.

Forget all that. Yormark can sell ice to Eskimos.

Can't seem to sell UConn as a standalone add

I mean... it would be weird for them to add any single team. I'm sure they want to keep the numbers even. If you just take us and the PAC-12 sticks together then what do you do, take SDSU?
