I think a lot of these points are strong indicators, especially Hurley and the rise of WBBThis sounds like a lot of speculation for clicks.

Adding UConn to the Big 12 would have a significant impact, both on and off the field. Known primarily for its powerhouse basketball programs.www.krem.com
Bradley??? I think you mean Butler - or is that a Freudian slip for Brad Stevens?
Yormark coming to Storrs to meet with Benedict and tour the campus, is not rumblings. Lol. The question now is what does the Big East do without UConn, and what is the price to leave?
Unless there was a recent secret visit, last time Yormark visited was 16 months ago. Old news.
You lost all credibility when you said TCU to the Big 10 and KSU to the SEC. If you take FSU and Clemson out of the ACC, the Big 12 has much better brands than the ACC based on football TV viewers.
Leg work was already done. There is this thing now called Zoom, ever hear about it? It’s really cool.

Yes, I heard of Zoom, it was a kids show in the 70’s. “ Come on and zoom a zoom a zoom”. I remember it well.Leg work was already done. There is this thing now called Zoom, ever hear about it? It’s really cool.
C'mon give a try...
The tour was last year, I mean someone on BY posted in a WBB thread about hearing B12 rumblings from inside WBB like a week ago but I can't find said post
If it was an intentional plant I doubt a UConn podcaster is the way you do it. We shall see, but there is cred on the line here. Zanetto’s schtick is pitching out lots of watered down narratives, so I hope this isn’t an attempt to create artificial rumblings with his name tagged to it.
But the taste of spite would be DELICIOUS.
And Wake Forest. Those two teams aren't ending up in the Big 12.
Drake Toll is also an empty wind sack. He recently criticized UConn claiming UConn was begging to get into the Big 12 based on the fact that UConn prepared a presentation for that old dog and pony show where the Big 12 took nobody. Then he argued that UConn doesn't bring enough revenue compared to current Big 12 members. Yeah no sheet, UConn is independent. The guy is clueless. Now the Locked On folks apparently need some new material so they have him talking UConn. Love to see it happen of course but these guys have no idea.
The revenue thing is how I know immediately if someone is a total idiot or not. How they don't realize that 80-90% of these teams revenues come from the league is beyond me. It's only a dozen or so teams that make a ton of money on their merch, ticket sales and sponsorships

I've run the numbers for both the ACC and the Big12 and if you take out FSU/Clemson what is left is pretty much a dead heat. The ACC's got the advantage with Miami/Louisville and a couple more up top and then the Big12's mid and lower tier is stronger than the ACC's.
Usually it does suck, when there is a user issue.
That's the chess match. Big 12 and ACC fans all believe their conference is P#3 and we just have to wait and see. Big 12 inviting UConn would be a super intriguing move, especially for us UConn fans. I know I think Big 12 has the upper hand. The ACC as a former basketball power continues to drop in basketball. Big 12 is on offensive, ACC is hunkering down under the GOR. Big 12 inviting UConn would be a major play and would leave the northern wing of the ACC on very shaky, no, even shakier ground.
4 Final Fours in the last 3 years from 4 different teams.
Here's the catch... P3 is a Myth. There is only P2. Big12 as far as football is concerned are a jumping stone to the B1G and SEC.
The P3 is every bit is real as the P6 was.
There's always been tiers in college football from a performance standpoint (P5/P6 if you add in the BE FB era) on down to the mid major FBS and the money has always been spread out equally within conferences. Now, the money for the B1G and SEC has broken far and wide from the other two (ACC and Big12). If one or both of the ACC and Big12 survive, they'll remain conferences that only every-so-often get a team to outperform their pecking order. The only thing in question is whether the B1G/SEC construct an official walled garden between themselves and everyone else.
