I am still amazed at how many posters on this board think that a rush for the door from the Pac 12 is good for UConn.

Its because, even after decades of head banging against the wall, we're hoping that Conference Realignment Rule #1 gets broken & trashed...

It’s interesting logic. On one hand, we want CU to jump because our best shot is to be paired with them for an invite. However, if Arizona joins them, we’re screwed.

Reminds me of the end of a sports season where your team needs 10 things to happen in order to make the playoffs. We want Colorado to say yes... but Arizona to say no... unless Arizona State also says yes... but we can't have Utah invited....

It's all out of our hands. Fun to watch, but don't try to fully understand it. And certainly don't try to predict what's going to happen or listen to some fan with a "studio" in their basement.
 
We want the PAC 12 to get paid well, preferably by Amazon or Apple. That would be a good outcome for UConn.

To simplify:

Colorado's and Utah's cannot maje the same choice.

Arizona and Arizona St have to make the same choice.

-1000% chance of UConn, Colorado and the Arizonas or not the Arizonas getting invited to join the Big 12. -1000%. Once the Big 12 turns west, it is never turning east again.

To clarify, UConn is joining the Big 12 on its own, or it isn't. There is a higher likelihood of UConn joining the Big 12 with UMass than there is of Colorado, UConn and UA/ASU joining the Big 12 together.

Why can’t Colorado and Utah make the same choice? I understand on the Arizona schools. Thanks!

The Arizona President said that he has the autonomy to move without Arizona State.

 
Do you guys realize that if the Pac 12 starts to really come apart, Stanford and California are not getting left behind? What does a stub Pac 12 look like in your world? What difference does it make if Arizona is allowed or not allowed to go separately from ASU. If the Pac 12 blows up, there will be a stampede for the door, and every school but Wazzou, Oregon State and maybe Utah is going to find a home before UConn does.

It is ironic that the same posters that yell at anyone that thinks going to the Big 12 isn't a slam dunk if UConn gets invited (it isn't) also are rooting for the Pac 12 to blow up, which will 1000% guarantee that UConn does not go to the Big 12.
 
I guess one darkhorse scenario is that the Pac 12 doesn't get a good deal, and tries to merge with the ACC. I don't konw what happens in that scenario.

Sorry Nelson. You had me at UMass. They probably wouldn’t want to leave the A10.

Cal and Stanford must be working the B1G angle like mad because the Big 12 would be a tough pill to swallow for them. I could see them trying to align with some ACC programs somehow. I 100% disagree with your assessment about UConn though. If UConn gets a Big 12 invitation, there is a 1001% chance UConn accepts. Unless of course something happens with the ACC before then.

One of the major reasons PAC-12 are still together is due to academics. If the media is a few millions worse than the B12, they probably will all stay together.

It is open news that Oregon, Washington, Cal, and Stanford are seeking B1G memberships. B1G wants them too, but they will wait until other PAC-12 teams to leave the conference first before raiding those schools. B1G doesn't want the reputation to be a conference destroyer but they are the main cause for the destruction of the PAC-12.
 
Frankly,

I’m in the camp that Yormark either has 4-time zone/noon-to-midnight Saturday vision or he doesn’t. If he does, then UConn helps fill the Eastern bloc regardless of which PAC schools are selected.

Then why doesn't he just add UConn to get it out of the way?

We are hoping one of the four corners defect... the most likely sounds like it would be Colorado, but at this point, any scenario can happen. If Colorado goes, I like UConn's chances, as long as the PAC12 doesn't implode, which I don't think it will. Now if the other four corners get FOMO and brush aside their academics to make the leap, that would put the PAC in a pretty dangerous spot and would decrease UConn's chances of getting in simply based on supply and demand.

Monday's meeting with the BIG12 could be an ice cream social ... but interesting to see that it is another SPECIAL board meeting quietly added with the same 30-minute length as the last one that was quietly canceled last minute ...and three day's before their next main board meeting. Perhaps a few on the board got cold feet and needed some convincing ... or maybe the ice cream never made it to the event, so they had to reschedule their social.

Also, DB has been awfully quiet for someone who has been outspoken about UConn's potential...
