Report: UConn Going To Big East For 2020-2021 Season

[AntG168]

I know I'll get crucified for this thread, but just passing along something I heard today, because it came from a very credible source. Largest private donor at Providence, directly involved in their athletic department and knows Tranghese well (who he says UConn hired as a consultant at some point) says he's 95%+ sure that UConn will be joining the NBE in 2021. Says the school gave Herbst the authority to do it on her way out the door, football will be killed so the next President doesn't have to deal with it and we'll move to the NBE. I couldn't believe it as I've heard nothing as specific about it, but this is a credible, connected guy.

All pile on now....

From over a week ago..........

Chief is claiming this now before it’s been verified tho. That’s outside of his normal MO lol

Verified by a Go daddy hosted blog with zero sources or evidence? Ok.

There is a lot more smoke than that

Well, I wanted to sleep tonight. This is insanity... I know nothings close to being confirmed but, wow, thats a crazy thing to put out.

 

[smoothcriminal]

We’re live. NBE confirmed.

If Chief is lying here he needs to either a) delete his account or b) call himself queen and walk to storrs in a bikini. I have faith that Chief is telling the truth and will remain Chief. Good night.

Chief, where will football land?

That’s one of the reasons I have not publicize

Wouldn't surprise me. It's the kind of short sighted and disastrous decisexpect coming from our leaders.

Thank you for confirming this!

So stoked right now. Our basketball brand just went up a few notches.

Hurley is going to reel in the 2020 Northeast 5 stars dudes per my change in Paradigm comment. That’s the good part about this. Football on the other hand is why I have held back - it’s not a resolved issue at the moment that I am aware of.

Thatll be an all timer if this turns out.

I'm not denying it could be true, Chief just needs his little ego boost as the all powerful oz behind the BY curtain. Awfully convient timing a Joe Schmo blog means he can talk about it now.

 

[AntG168]

This is slightly a joke. But I don’t think Chief would definitively claim anything unless he knew it to be true. He’s normally comically vague

This is just so so weird. A website that looks like it was made in 1999 may have broken one of the bigger UConn stories ever. On a Friday night.

Anyone want to tell the football board they may soon not have a team anymore?

Sleep well in regards to Chief being truthful. Confidence in Herbst getting a good overall result - no comment.

You don't trust Susie to do this right?

Football is an awfully big component to be still “undecided.”

The football board only cares about wearing uniforms from 2006.

 

[AntG168]

There will be a legit civil war in this fan base if this is true. Sleep tight

Hey it beats a war in Iran.

Come on man, they wouldn’t commit to the Big East if football is “not a resolved issue”.
Lol

You have to understand Big East sources don’t care about football - it’s about Fox Sports ponying up up dollars, SNY and UConn monetizing the WBB franchise and the NBE locking up MSG forever. Hurley is going to kill it on the recruiting trail.
I am going to withhold my comments on football.

But just to be incredibly clear. You, chief are reporting that basketball is headed to the NBE? We need this on record

Lol

Herbst wants another Presidential gig and won’t get it unless she get a conference realignment win. This is her idea of a win

Yes, unless this premature announcement screws things up. Don’t forget people have until 6/28 to keep their MBB seats. The plan was to announce in July and roid up new seat donations.

What’s the thread page record @temery ? This has potential...
