jokes aside, I will put money that this pac12 thing will never happen.
But the terms/demands of this post are a bit unlikely.

As we've discussd on the conf alignment board, UConn doesn't have enough leverage to make the demands being made in this post. Not giving even a single bball game (M+W, so 2 total) is unfair to the Pac12. We can gladly play gonzaga or SDSU to keep our schedule strong enough. idk about Utah State, but striking a deal to play their biggest brands on a rotating basis, would be a fair compromise.

BBall is the only card we've ever had to play. no one cares about our academics or our field hockey & soccer banners. So if we take bball away, UConn football isn't exactly a prime target for the conference.

If we're honest, we'd both be at the table because we need the other. But i don't think pac12 is gonna bow to us just cuz they need one more team. Someone out west or at least in the midwest, will pop up in due time.

in short, I think we need the Pac12 more than the Pac12 needs us. And we don't really need that Pac12, so imagine where that puts their feelings toward us.
