JackMac is trolling but that would be best case scenario for UConn. We’d probably get a nod for the ACC at that point

I doubt it. USF and SMU or Tulane. I'd actually bet on it.

USF for sure. Another AAC pick - not as sure. You figure Tulane doesn’t really do a lot for the Techs, Cuses, etc of the world

He’s being a man about. Frankly, I really don’t like that we were in, and now we might not be, it isn’t a good vibe. There’s probably a lot of rats looking for life boats.

Glad he gave an exact date. Now when Wednesday hits and there’s no announcement swaim will make some excuse. If by some chance he’s correct then at least it’s over in 48 hours.

Make sure you screenshot it though because if he doesn't backpedal he'll just straight up delete it and claim he never said that

I believe he heard what he heard as well as what some other UConn donors/those close to the AD have heard.

Hoping it’s a done deal, and the Big 12 leaks are tactic to get both Arizona schools to jump with us being 16 (14 if they don’t).

We shall see. Hopefully it’s resolved this week, but not getting my hopes up too high for that — my guess is in two weeks we’ll know.

I think we're in at 16 but probably not 14.

If we aren't in at 16 then what are we even doing? It basically cements our status as a G5 program and real questions need to start being asked.

The only answer is the status quo.

Lucy works in mysterious ways.

It seems almost obvious that we were used as bait.

We need to keep up the progress in football and double down on basketball. The lord helps those who help themselves. I’m not even religious.

Only way we weren't, is IF the rest of the PAC decides to stay together because GK got them a nice contract. I have zero faith in that clown.

The B1G to play with itself at the Rose Bowl.

I'd have to think given the whole uhhhh nationally televised thing that might be illegal

That’s illegal but ripping down the institutions they made college football special is not.

Flugaur said that he's heard rumors about FSU. He says that they are building a war chest, as he puts it. Presumably to get out of the GOR.

Good if true, because it guarantees UConn admittance to the ACC. But it is total fantasy. So there is that.

I did like this part:

It's not 20 anymore, folks. Think smarter. Regional control/dominance/territory gain/dominance/desire to compete for national titles.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

You're correct, that article read like a pro UConn piece with an anti-UConn title. Strange.

Every one of his anti-UConn arguments can be easily shot down in debate.

He could write similar piece about Colorado....with a lot fewer positives. But he is in favor of their return. Lol
