Why do you feel the need, with a few others, to hijack this thread into a debate about a new stadium. This is about an invite to a power conference, not a debate about an on campus stadium. We have a stadium that was designed to be expandable. Whether a stadium is on campus or not, it will have no bearing on a Big 12 invite. A new stadium is not even on any agenda right now.
O.K., we can’t convince you. Yawn. At the moment we and the Big EAst can be competitive. The competitive environment is changing year to year. Folks are trying to predict the future. If you see the future differently that’s great, but the only thing that will convince anyone that their prediction for the future is wrong is waiting to see what happens.
Thank you for your service!
Hopefully there won't be too many games we're commentators will be talking about how we got it in the end.
Can you link to the quote August. Because I don't remember that, and I thought I read pretty much everything that came out at that time.
Lol, how is responding to someone else talking about the new stadium "hijacking the thread"? If you really have an issue with it, and I always laugh about people who decide they need to be Internet police, maybe call out the guy who first brought it up?
Don't be a donkey.
Even Hall is a flight! Maybe MSG too tbh. Providence might be the only actual bus trip the basketball team takes.
I only ask because I’ve been real busy and the only direct quote I’ve seen is “I’m not against it”. Are there different quotes?
Has he said anything besides “ not against it” at this point? Because if he hasn’t your take on that quote is quite a reach that’s why I asked, maybe I missed another?
I didn't say anything about any Hurley quote. The only guy I've seen talking about Hurley quotes is you.
You said Hurley wants what’s best for UConn and that’s joining the Big12.
If you read the whole thread that’s not the right takeawayWas fun while it lasted fellasx.com

The total window for a football game is at least 8 hours, a couple before kickoff and a couple after the final whistle. It's very easy. Plus, widen 195 to 3 lanes and make it 2 lanes one direction in and 2 lanes one direction out. Easy Peasy.
No, but that was not my point. My point was that all of the football schools are no longer in a basketball conference, nor should they be. Football needs to spread its wings, basketball will be fine wherever.
Yes, he wants UConn in the Big 12.
Do you even have any idea how asinine that sounds? Off back to back titles? People said the same thing a dozen years ago as the reason we needed to join the AAC. Whelp we’ve won 3 titles since then in 2 different leagues. You absolutely had zero idea how the intervening twelve years would play out. No one did. And you have no idea about how the next twelve will play out.
So now you’re just making stuff up. Got it.
You're the only person in the thread talking about quotes about Hurley turning down the Lakers because of the Big East. When asked to provide the quote you linked to an article that doesn't provide a quote saying the Big East is why he turned down the Lakers.
All of our problems with attendance and conference affiliation are because of the schools location. If we were in NH or Fairfield counties we would've been B1G 10 years agoAre you familiar with the town of Mansfield?
I never said that was the reason he turned down the lakers I said that he said it was one of them. And he did. He said playing in the BigEast tournament and games his Dad could go to are a factor, it’s right there in black and white.
If the same numbskulls are running that town as they were 30 years ago, then yes. Surely younger folks with vision have taken over and if not, well 195 is a state highway. They'll figure it out.Are you familiar with the town of Mansfield?
