Message: [QUOTE="TruDomGopher, post: 1271262, member: 4159"] We've learned a few things along the way, including the fact that B1G decided it makes more sense to add in pairs. As Ldandy pointed out--and I've said repeatedly--I think UConn's already in the B1G, just waiting on a partner. Pernetti was working Delany and knew years ahead that Rutger was going to be B1G--but that was only confirmed after the fact. I find it interesting that certain Twitterers--twits, for short--have third cousins twice removed working in ACC schools that know all about what the B1G is up to while the little people, you know, like the Board for Maryland only get in on the rumors a few hours in front of a vote. Basically, if it's rumor, it's bs because the players have learned to STFU. All things considered, the less I hear about UConn from any official source, the better. Even the absolute worst projections I've seen on UConn are revenue neutral for any P5 conference. UConn's value isn't in question, never has been, and everybody knows it; it's just not clear yet for anyone how to fit the pieces. The Big 12 might need to move to 12 but then UConn is the ultimate outlier. The real action is the B1G and ACC. They may be both silent and out-of-site, but it's a given you're being watched and that you'll be grabbed by the scruff of the neck before you tumble into the abyss. [/QUOTE]
