To simplify:

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

Arizona and Arizona St have to make the same choice.

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.

-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.

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,

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.

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...

Maybe Yormark was never asked about whether or not he visited Gonzaga for UConn. So there was no need for him to make a statement.
Expand ...
No, but UConn officials were and they confirmed it. Though they said nothing was imminent.

Could be it was Memphis interests that floated that story...and that riled him.

It seems the plan might be...get the four Pac 12 or, barring that, expand to G5.

I had the same immediate thought when the denial was put out. Even if untrue, he could have said nothing. He made a point to kill that story.

-> On Wednesday, when asked to address the validity of Yormark’s reported visit, Memphis president Bill Hardgrave declined.“Yeah, I’m not going to talk about any of that,” he told The Commercial Appeal.

Memphis vice president and athletic director Laird Veatch also neither confirmed nor denied that any meetings took place. “You know, what I would say is we have, throughout, tried to be really professional and thoughtful about not commenting about the process,” said Veatch. “We’ll continue that. I believe that’s the right way to operate. You don’t want to get into commenting or speculation on anything. It’s not beneficial to the university or to the process or to anybody involved.” <-

He has tens and tens of followers, maybe it's true. On a serious note, has this guy's info been reliable in the past?

ESPN Senior NFL Insider.

 
Lmao “like this message if Mora said we are going to the Big 12”

1. Cole Welliver probably never saw that before liking

Or

2. Mora could be using the possibility of us being in the Big 12 soon as recruiting leverage. We know he was previously telling kids we were going to the ACC in the next year or two.
