No votes may be the university’s preference to not accept UConn because of our geographical location or because of our football program.

On the other hand the universities may be using this as an excuse in attempting to put pressure on the media companies for more monies and waiting to see if they cave in.

ESPN is on record (at least in the ether world) with wanting UConn in the B12.  Fox doesn’t for obvious reasons.  So ESPN is going to make up the difference.  But that will come with some conditions that they, and not Fox, get the majority of broadcasting rights for UConn’s mens and women’s bb games.  We will see if Fox will allow that to happen.  I doubt it because Fox knows they used the BE to lowball our value.

All these parties, UConn, the Big12 universities individually, the conference (BY), ESPN, Fox, and even Endeavor, have common and separate monetary agendas and are playing each other for an advantage.  I expect UConn to get an invite because there is too much money to lose, but the various entities have to fight for their specific agendas.  Hopefully that won’t take long.
