So, if Nova said no and either St John's or Georgetown was next on the list (assuming they wouldn't duplicate Cincinnati), them what?
You are quite welcome. Btw, how is it my fault?
Fair enough.
Good point. But why would they go? Their rationale to stay would be similar to Nova's.
Unless UConn gets an AAU membership, which is unlikely for several years until federal research output dramatically increases, I doubt UConn will be under consideration by the Big 10. There are so many other candidates with more impressive credentials. UConn needs to be in a conference where it can improve its football ranking to about the top 25 and get sufficient funding for its athletic department until the AAU membership comes. I say the best option is the B12. In second place is the ACC -- we may not even being considered there -- and then in third place is maybe keeping most sports in the New Big East and maybe put football in the PAC-12, if they will take us. Football independence can be a hard place to reach high national ranking especially given we are in New England. Even if we win both men's and women's championships in basketball next season, don't count on the Big 10 taking us anytime soon!Well, personally, I think UConn ought to wait until next year when they will have a couple more BB championships and a recent 9-4 football record in their pocket. Then they can get an invite from the B1G.
Regardless of the sourcing in that particular article I think it’s fair to say the hype and optimism of an invite from a week ago is fading fast.
That story was skewed towards Gonzaga because Gonzaga is using Navigate for consulting purposes and the story used Navigate as a source.
That is the mood of the Boneyard, but we just have to wait and see how it plays out.
Ya think?
I don’t think any Big East school would calculate a benefit to going Big 12. Maybe Creighton for the footprint change and playing Kansas.
They have no interest in any basketball only schools, but you're right. That's the only one that would likely come out ahead. Iowa State is close too, and K State is even closer.
What a difference a day makes.
I don’t really see how our situation has changed at all? Colorado is moving on Friday, not us.
Tramel's story dropped and it was pretty negative. Quoting an AD saying that there was not enough support to push us over the finish line. Then Tramel changed his tweet that leads into the story to a little more positive. Later that day, Dodd's story and later a tweet by Dodd dropped, and then Brett Murphy's tweet, all talking about how UConn is being considered for all sports. The Baylor AD came right out and disputed Tramel's story. What do you know, we're still being talked about and there still is a chance. We were always behind the Pac 12 schools.
Good summary.
