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

[KingAG]

This is......weird

 

[Banta55]

You are wrong, it’s true.

I didn't think it could happen so quick..Football go independent?

 

[krinklecut]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Chief I don't think I've ever seen you be so adamant about something and not ride the fence. If this is true I take back everything negative I've said about you.

 

[ASweet3781]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Wouldn't surprise me. It's the kind of short sighted and disastrous decision that I would expect coming from our leaders.

 

[3rdbass]

Chief, where will football land?

I would guess FCS.

 

[KOFanClub]

You are wrong, it’s true.

Wrong about what? I didn't say it was true or untrue. I made points about the nature of the report. And the only thing he cites are unnamed sources, doesn't even indicate their positioning in the side of things. Objectively, there is nothing that makes it substantive as opposed to speculative.

Get over yourself dude. "I was holding back". Yeah, alright.

 

[Caronimo]

I would guess FCS.

Stop

 

[krinklecut]

Wouldn't surprise me. It's the kind of short sighted and disastrous decision that I would expect coming from our leaders.

nothing anyone does is ever right.

how many collective years does the yard have running athletic programs at D1 schools? How about presiding over them? Just curious.

I really think the new AAC contract upset Uconn

If this story was a hoax or click bait why would they post this on a Friday night? Wouldn’t you do this on a Monday morning?

Get someone feeling themselves at the bar is my guess

A couple of posters have mysteriously alluded to this over the last couple weeks as well. It’s a strange string of coincidences if they are such.

Yeah, this could very easily be the "good news" from that thread

It weird.

Possible someone at UConn slipped up at the travelers?

 

[smoothcriminal]

A lot of clues stating to add up particularly from the football side. The transfers a couple of weeks ago were odd.

 

[krinklecut]

It weird.

I love this theory

 

[KingAG]

Yeah, this could very easily be the "good news" from that thread

Or the thread in the conference realignment thread from June 12 saying this exact news was told to him from a providence source. I’m mean down to the 2021 time frame

 

[ThabeetDown]

Chief wouldn’t make something up. He has a reputation to withhold. Don’t disrespect him.

Chief is going to claim he knows the winning lottery numbers two days after the numbers are announced next.

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

 

[UconnU]

The report is true - basketball is heading to Big East. Chief has been holding back on publicizing this news but here it is.

Thank you for confirming this!

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

 

[KingAG]

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..........

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

There is a lot more smoke than that

 

[Kemba429]

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.

 

[Caronimo]

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.

 

[Chief00]

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!

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.

 

[Kemba429]

From over a week ago.....

Thatll be an all timer if this turns out.

 

[ThabeetDown]

There is a lot more smoke than that

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.

 

[KingAG]

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
