Non-Key Tweets

"Jim, we have an invite in hand from the Big 12. You and I both know it is not our ideal situation. However, we don't have much choice unless you can give me a bona fide invite as well..."

"John, we have an invite in hand from the Big 12. You and I both know it is not our ideal situation. However, we don't have much choice unless you can give me a bona fide invite as well..."

There is no way that is happening.

You aren't getting an invite unless they know you have accepted it.
 
Have @ it...

Multiple reliable sources said its BYU & Cincy to Big 12. UConn coming out of the woodwork is desperation like UC was when Lville went ACC

@Brian_T_miller @MStine_4 I have no clue. I'm not pretending to be in the know.

I saw that, hence the placement in "Non-Key Tweets". He may not be "in the know" but he has pretty strong opinion about UConn. Combating and educating these types has become a sport for some on here - just sharing.

He was arguing about that with his own fans...his "sources" are the Thamel article in SI...
 
What did WVU do last time around other than be a warm body, like TCU? I guess both could point to some football successes which frankly doesn't bode well for UConn. Well unless the chatter about UConn's academics (from Tramel) actually carries weight with B12 schools. I was really, really doubtful on this last year, hopefully the line about being a "University of ______" and markets will be enough to sway the B12 presidents to overrule what the the B12 football coaches want (recruiting). Cause if it doesn't, it'll be Memphis or Houston or a Directional Florida. Million dollar question is - was Tramel reporting what OU, maybe UT want, or is it wider among the other B12 schools?

Now you've done it. We're doooooooooooooooomed.
What WVU did was made it known in no uncertain terms that they would do whatever it took. They agreed to a hiked up exit fee from the Big East, ignored the 27 month waiting period. I don't know what circumstances are for us, but whatever it takes. May not be enough.
 
They are coming out of the woodwork...

On LandThieves, a Kansas State fan commented that someone on their premium fan board said:

"Will expand with Cincy/UCONN by 2017 and if not by then won't expand at all. Not going past 12. Source is a friend who works at one of the networks and is involved in putting contracts together."

This was last Thursday.

I'm loving all this smoke...

I want Cincinnati to get out of this mess that is the AAC. If we can bring you guys along too, that would be awesome.

I would not mind a conference that features games against you guys, Kansas, Texas, ISU, Oklahoma, Okie State and Baylor. Not at all.

Would it be as good as the B1G or ACC? Nope. But f*&$ it - let's not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

If Smart can get UT back to where Barnes had them in their hey day...a B12 including UCONN and Cincy would be a better hoops conference than the B1G.

What makes you so sure we wouldn't be bringing you along?

Haha. This is one squabble I'd happily welcome -- and couldn't care less about who was right. If the only seat left on the last chariot out of town is one where you get pooped on by the horses, give me a parasol and get me out of town.

For the purpose of full disclosure my post was tongue in cheek.
 
Maybe. I still think if you add UConn to the B1G you'd get the best possible conference, but I'm officially in "any port in a storm" mode.
Yeah...but I really think that the B1G is a pipe dream....they may hold tight now at 14..especially with no other schools available right now.
 
And if UT has eyes on Houston, last thing they would want to do it increase the brand recognition of UofH
