This isn't a tweet but is non-key nonetheless. Over at the Oklahoma Land Thieves board someone is saying that last week on the K-State premium board a poster said Cincy and UConn are the picks for the B12. Here's the link:

Thanks. Interesting read. I see a lot of some of the old stuff there...UConn has no influence in New England (UConn is in new England) as BC dominates the region (yeah, right), UConn is too small (yet at 31K enrollment is bigger than every XII school except for Texas Tech, Iowa St & Texas), terrible football school (yet UConn was in as many BCS bowl games as Baylor, Kansas & OK State, and more than Iowa St & Texas Tech) and basically some Texas fans only care about Texas (count how many times A&M is discussed).

They don't have a market. The New England market is dominated by B.C.


Anyone who stylizes BC as B.C. on an internet message board loses all credibility immediately.

When I read that post I stopped reading. BC doesn't dominate in Boston, let alone New England. If you asked the ACC who they'd rather have right now, they'd admit that UConn would be a better get than BC has been.

The Big 12's composition committee has recommended two schools for addition. UH & UC. UH has little support beyond the 3 on the committee.
 
Dude also says it's moot because B12 won't have to expand - they will be allowed to have a CCG with 10, so go figure.

Covering all his bases. If Houston gets in, hey I told you they were the recommendation. If they don't, then it's I told you they didn't have any support beyond 3 schools on the committee.
 
You want the kind of conspiracy theory that many of you love (not that I think it's likely). The Big XII has decided on Cincy and Houston, but the Big Ten, not caring if they take those schools, wouldn't let them have a championship game with ten. So they leaked that they'll take UConn if they need to go to 12, hoping the Big Ten and ACC will want UConn to still be on the table in case they want them later and that way will let them play a game with 10 to keep them from expanding.

How am I the first to post this! I'm tempted to put this in the Key Tweets thread because it involves the Dud, UConn CR, and UMass. Can't get much better than that.

    UMASS has been in talks with the AAC to possibly move up & replace UCONN.

    Just throwing this out without comment. No real info as yet… prepare yourself.

This honestly wouldn't be surprising if UConn does go to the Big XII, UMass is desperate for a home for all sports as their football program is independent as of now and AAC keeps their New England presence.

The problem is UMass could potentially be replacing another team in the AAC ( of course, I hope it is UCONN).

True. I have always thought that UMass's recent positioning was expressly done to make sure it was in a good position to be plucked up by the AAC if need be. They could replace anybody, but they are the most natural replacement for UConn.
 
The Dude's timeline:
Committee has selected UC/UH
B12 listening to other schools
B10 amendment won't pass, B12 won't expand
UMass in talks to move up to replace UConn

Makes sense, eh?

He has access to the same dumb Tweets the rest of us do and probably wants the same thing we do. I sincerely doubt he knows anything.

Especially since he retweeted UConnBlog story on Big12 before this one.

The ignorance, shown on that Board, regarding what UConn brings to the B12, was disheartening, albeit I wasn't surprised. It would be good to post Dooley's UConn's Power Conference Profile on that site!

Many of the posters have a severe case of myopia regarding markets and content. As to football potential that is a topic of speculation both on our end and theirs. But the ones who overstate the influence of Cuse and BC are simply living in the past or ignorant of the shifting dynamic that was already taking place when BC and Cuse both recognized the threat and moved to block us. They know well the value conference affiliation would have and the benefit to our football prospects at the cost of their own.
