No real news to speak of but Dave O'Brien and Rich Cappola talking all things UConn a few minutes ago on the Sox broadcast was pretty fun to hear! Love me some good pub!

First, no message board poster is going to have that level of detail.
Second, while we might see UCF and USF as interchangeable, no one who paid for an analysis of these schools would. If the FL market is a desirable outcome, they will have one picked out. The representation above is not implying taking both, unless taking 5 is an option. It isn't.
Third, If UT and OU agree on a school, they are in and this exercise is unnecessary. They would be focusing on the 14th school as accoring to Mr Moose here, BYU, Cincy and whatever UCF/USF means would be in.
Lastly because I think we're done with this, it shows OU in favor of Memphis (and every school that isn't Houston). Highly suspect.
Not a key tweet but NESN had Rich Copolla in the booth for an inning and they talked a bit about UConn to the Big 12. No news really, but nice to see us getting some play in Boston
Dave O'Brien did a great job of leading Rich through it - Obie certainly knows Big12 hoops and how they'd love UConn.Someone needs to post that video all over the Internet.
UConn doesn't move the needle in Boston? They interrupt a Red Sox/ Yankee game at Fenway Park for UConn Big 12 talk!

They spoke to him pre-game as well and the reporter specifically asked him about realignment. He mention Cavanaugh, Hockey East & Frozen Fenway as well as throwing in sound bites about Yale and Quinnipiac hockey. Talked up Springer and Barnes and the posters/murals of them on campus and even mentioned Springer hitting that dinger (see what I did there) against Barnes. All in all he did a great job representin'.Not a key tweet but NESN had Rich Copolla in the booth for an inning and they talked a bit about UConn to the Big 12.

I don't know... if he were still around you could ask HFD.I would love to be a fly on the wall to witness the process for coming up with the crap that some of these "insiders" post. Does someone give them a little nugget and their creative writing skills kick in for the other 90% of BS or do they just get messed up and start making stuff up and other stoners pile on or what? What makes someone post crap that is probably 95% made up? Do they think it will influence the outcome?
Matt Barnes has been really good for the Sox. If kimbrell continues to suck I could see him closing.
How would another candidate mean more money to them? The TV money adjustment is a fixed number, no?
Yes. TV money is a fixed number. But for UT, having a campus in Houston + equal TV money incentivises them to vote for Houston. They make more money with Houston. If the TV money is equal between Memphis and UConn, and it costs TTU more to fly to Connecticut than to Tennessee, then TTU makes more money with Memphis and might vote for them. The TV money is equal. The profit isn't.
Yes I thought that might have had an affect as well. But even still, I still have a hard time believing they would pass up more money with another candidate to vote for us. If they're a yes vote for us, I think it's telling that they believe we help them make the most money.

@theDudeofWV @ChuckCarltonDMN @SportsDayDFW looking like an instant money grab now. OU/UT/KU/WV are free agents in 2025. Priceless.
....and all the rest of the schools except OU and TexasWhere exactly is WVU going to go if the Big12 falls apart? Or KU for that matter.

If the ACC really locks their league down, I don't think it's insane that the SEC might grab WVU, but they should definitely be nervous.
I didn't get that from this post:
Regardless, I'd suggest that any nominal increase in expense for a little extra time in the air on plane, would be offset by first by NCAA credits that UConn will earn and later by the revenue from a digital network.

The hillbilly West VA "dudes" think WVU has value to other leagues
In reality only OU/KU/UT would probably land in a better spot, OSU possibly if OU forces them along in the sidecar and Pickens writes more large checks
