Also from the Cincy board:

I listened closely to the interview and Hoover premised his order of candidates from a long 30 minute phone call with Boren and said that it is very clear that BYU is the solid #11 from the "Oklahoma" point of view. Where I think the debate comes in is #12, between UC and UCONN. He feels UCONN is a bigger brand and brings TV sets up and down the Northeastern Coast, which is what the Big 12 covets, but, has a poor football program. Our history of playing good football over the past 10 years puts us at #13, in, as he calls it. "one man's opinion".

IMHO, this guy is very close to the situation and probably has as good a read on the situation as any of the Twitter Dudes out there (like it or not). Let's hope that something significant (like a nice run in the Basketball tournament or a couple of key transfers) happens between now and end of May to sway folks from UCONN to UC (or hope the analysis points to a 14 team league).

and this:

My only concern is Gee is Mormon and has BYU ties.
