Non-Key Tweets

Well, first, I'm not sure that a football only partial membership is allowed, but if it were Connecticut would take it in a heartbeat. In many ways, that would be the best of all possible worlds for us.

It would be allowed because our primary conference doesn't sponsor football. Being an associate member is allowed for any sport your primary conference doesn't sponsor.

Since the big 12 sponsors the bulk of our other sports, I think we'd have to be all in with them.

Otherwise, you could get around the general rule by designating a conference as your "primary conference".

This guy again has his conspiracy antennae up, but UConn would say no thanks to a football only partial membership.

Why in the world would the B12 offer UConn a football-only membership?
But I don’t think that’s what he meant by partial membership. I’m assuming he meant as a partner to add with Notre Dame for non-football sports. The only way UConn would do that is there was a path for FB to join over the next few years.

I think what he meant was add UConn as a full member and ND as partial, but who knows. Not happening anyway. Course I've been wrong on occasion 😎

Maybe. I’m which case, that would be awesome. But unfortunately, it’s MHver3 so it’s fake news.

It is if other league doesn’t sponsor football

That isn't really how it works though. With the exception of sports like hockey where most conferences are that sport only, the vast majority of associate members in various sports are associate members of a conference that sponsors a lot of overlapping sports with said associates' primary conferences. Us in the Big East for FH while we were still in the AAC and before the AAC starting sponsoring FH themselves, for instance.

And you do designate a primary conference. It's literally the reason schools can become associate members of non-sponsored sports in the first place. You declare a primary conference (I believe it has to be who you're in basketball for since all all-sport conferences sponsor it) so that if that conference doesn't sponsor a sport for which you have a program you can still get limited conference benefits you wouldn't otherwise get by nature of being forced to be independent.

Strength of schedule favors the XII. I would think that if the XIi offered, the Huskies would be out of the Big East in a heartbeat...

They also got 6 million more viewers to their championship game than the ACC.

Anytime you can get ND football and UConn BB, you take a shot.
If UConn FB is a throw-in, who are we to argue

I mean if you can't post MHver3 in Non-Key Tweets what is even the point of this thread

Non-key connotes some sort of importance. Mhver3 is so far from resembling anything near key or importance. He's such a waste of time.

Maybe it's reverse psychology on Yormark's part.

Reverse psychology is a technique involving the assertion of a belief or behavior that is opposite to the one desired, with the expectation that this approach will encourage the subject of the persuasion to do what is actually desired.

I don’t think so.

They aren’t fools. Almost everyone can see what a toxic mess having Notre Dame in your conference can be.

No, non-key denotes that there is absolutely no importance to the tweets listed here. It was a thread created as a destination for tweets from Mhver3 and other West Virginia basement dwelling self-appointed conference realignment "experts".

What happened is that we had a thread of "Key Tweets" which were tweets from proper insiders/officials about conference realignment. But people were posting complete nonsense from folks like MHver3, so we created the Non-Key Tweets thread.

However, both threads have turned into absolute dumpster fires in the corresponding years, so there are no rules anymore.
