Even if Oklahoma or Texas could make the numbers work, I don't see why Oklahoma or Texas would even want to join the Big 10.

As long as either one of them is in the Big 12 (more so Texas to be fair) it is still a P5 league. They can play half their games in Texas for recruiting and play games their fans want to attend.

I don't think for one second that Oklahoma doesn't look at Nebraska and feel thankful they haven't swapped places.

You would think they might be a tad upset on the day the checks from the conferences get mailed, and OU's is about $15MM less than that of Nebraska.

Wouldn't be surprised it OU's T3 deal made up most of that difference.
 
You waited for it, and now it's here... some new non-key tweets:

He’s a legit report who seems to be reporting that he has sources telling him FS1 wants UConn in the Big East, no?

Key tweets are AD's, college presidents, conference president's and the like. This guy isn't a West Virginia back woodsman, but he's not key.

It all seems comment was tied to FS1 keeping the BE tourney in MSG after 2022 opt-out period w/ ACC/B1G10 snuffing aroun NYC. It’s not that big of a leap to say that based on UConn attendance push.

Ah, I was under the impression that “real” journalists counted.

I just didn’t get the impression, reading through the thread, that he’s saying this based on a feeling; it sounded to me like he was saying this based on conversations he had with important people.

Not sure the chances of it ever happening, but between this and the Rothstein reports a few months ago, there’s some smoke here.

Does Asbury Park Press count as real? I kid, I kid... kinda.

If UConn wants to be in the Big East they'll be in the Big East.
 
Even if Fox did want UConn in the NBE and the NBE wanted UConn, UConn still needs a decent place to park football and enough cash to make the move worthwhile. That's a tough row to hoe.

That was kind of my point - sure FS1 would want UConn to be in the Big East to bolster the resume to fend off MSG opting out of the BE tourney in NYC after 2022.

Fox can step in and solve the football dilemma part of the equation if MSG is that important to their BE business model ;)
 
Fox has its hands in B1G Network, which also wants MSG, and the new Big E, which has MSG through 2022, basketball rights. ESPN is tied to the ACC, which also wants MSG. Could the rumor/potential of the Big East looking to add UConn force the ACC to make a move or be squezed out of MSG for the foreseeable future knowing that offering UConn football a home would be once heck of an incentive that the new Big E can't match? If the ACC makes a move, would Fox then press the B1G to look at UConn, potentially tied the next round of conference realignment that may see the end of the ACC or XII?

The round of conference realignment that ends the ACC? The round caused by the sun swallowing the Earth?
