Message: [QUOTE="1husky, post: 1583344, member: 1588"] I see Boren with 3 options: Plan A - would mean expansion, conf champ game and B12 Network. It seems like UConn finally has a champion in Boren who is making it clear what he wants and that he has the 2 teams to make his plan work lined up and ready to go. Hopefully Plan A moves forward because I think we will be a part of it. All of the interviews in the past couple of weeks have suddenly turned very positive about all of our metrics and have even called out UConn specifically. Someone at UConn finally figured out this is about relationships and convincing a champion to provide some positive spin in the press to get us buy in from AD's, Presidents and ultimately the fans. Plan B - For all the sabre rattling that Boren has done in the last 6-8 months you would expect him to have a Plan B if he doesn't get what he wants out of the B12. It might be a ticket to the B1G with Kansas or UConn or it could be to the SEC or PAC12 which would not include us. Plan B makes me nervous. Too many variables with mass realignment. There is always a new reason we are not acceptable and a viable alternative to take our place and we have been at the losing end of that kick too many times. Plan C - negotiate for 3 things assuming you will only get 1 or 2 which includes the only thing that truly matters to you: the Longhorn Network changes to the B12 Network. This could work and might even include a champ game which has already been approved for 10 thereby getting you 2 of your 3 publically stated goals. I feel pretty good about Plan A right now but there are a lot of hurdles to overcome. We'll know what happens in the next couple of months but this is a terrible time to not have a well known, respected AD working on this 24/7. Time to cover up! [/QUOTE]
