Not the most knowledgeable conversation.While I hope the within two weeks rumor is true, I doubt it happens now. There are certainly still talks but the timing doesn’t make sense.
Also, why is our UConn guy so misinformed about when UConn went to the fiesta bowl - 2003 2004 really?
And why is our UConn guy not understand that our revenue in both football and basketball is lower than power conference schools because we’re not in a power conference and not getting a power conference payout?
I think Mark admits to being a basketball guy and he does he good job with it. I generally like his podcasts but he’s got to do a lot better with FB if he’s going to be on a B12 podcast discussing the program.While I hope the within two weeks rumor is true, I doubt it happens now.

Talks to leverage our program for ACC pickens. Feels like the same FOMO power play that lead to the PAC12 collapse.While I hope the within two weeks rumor is true, I doubt it happens now. There are certainly still talks but the timing doesn’t make sense.

Also UConn beat Iowa State in Iowa!I think Mark admits to being a basketball guy and he does he good job with it. I generally like his podcasts but he’s got to do a lot better with FB if he’s going to be on a B12 podcast discussing the program.
Not saying he needs to sell the program but there’s little understanding of UConn’s past FB success. Yes, the last decade’s been terrible & that’s what B12 country associates with Uconn FB. But few know that Uconn FB had success when they were in a power conference, including several winning seasons, multiple bowls & wins, winning at places like Notre Dame & Baylor, and the BE championship & Fiesta Bowl bid in 2011. Uconn would do it again if could get in a Power conference.
Because these people are regardedWhile I hope the within two weeks rumor is true, I doubt it happens now. There are certainly still talks but the timing doesn’t make sense.

Well if it is public, it ain't happening.
Not necessarily true. The UConn to the Big East rumor was posted on the Conference Realignment board before it happened.Well if it is public, it ain't happening.

UConn to the NBE?
I know I'll get crucified for this thread, but just passing along something I heard today, because it came from a very credible source. Largest private donor at Providence, directly involved in their athletic department and knows Tranghese well (who he says UConn hired as a consultant at some...the-boneyard.com

Texas and Vince Young? Or are you not counting them cause theyre going SEC? Cause Bob Stoops got 1 too i think.I wouldn't fall for it either. But of note, I read an article that the Big 12 has not won a national football championship since 1990, that winner was Colorado, and they have been stinking since then. Not such a great football conference after all! They should be begging UConn to join, not the other way around.
