Thought it was tomorrow.I heard the presidents are meeting today. Not sure if any officials are there.
Yormark is delivering the presentation (which is a good thing) but I'm sure will have some of our guys will be in attendance. I wouldn't be surprised if Hurley, Geno, or Mora also came but this sounds about rightPotential attendees:
Governor-He’s the President of UConn BOT
UConn President
Athletic Director
BOT Chairman
Donors
Business Leaders
Hopefully Blumenthal is not going.
I don’t think they’d schedule a meeting with the presidents if there were more than 4 ADs strongly opposed to it. I think it’s more likely that 1 or 2 needed votes are on the fence and Yormark needs to sell them on it.From what I've seen, we already have the minimum 12/16 votes needed from the Big 12 ADs. People are saying that it's going to be the commish Yormark pitching us to the Big 12 presidents in this next meeting.

Well should expect some leaks today or tomorrow then.From Ralph Russo @ AP:
-> UConn athletic director David Benedict recently traveled to Dallas to pitch the Big East school to Big 12 administrators. Conference ADs and presidents were scheduled to hear from the league’s media consultants Monday and further discuss Yormark’s latest vision.<-
So, you're saying he's got credible sources then...That’s what I thought too. My son who is a fanatic just sent me a text that they were meeting today. Of course he could’ve heard it from the car wash or the meeting could be in 20 minutes.

Those are helpful for dealing with leaksDepends
Is that what i just watched with Garry Parish?Norlander on his podcast sounding very skeptical about uconn to the big 12. Says presidents are concerned about football (obviously) and the house settlement. He said Yormark might be able to sell it, but he did sound very hesitant.
Yea.. Parish was more optimisticIs that what i just watched with Garry Parish?
There seems to be neuron problem with a lot of these guys. They can't comprehend that the issue with our athletics deficit is directly tied to not having P4 TV money. Willfully obtuse.Yea.. Parish was more optimistic
The key is to have banged the daughter first, so at that point you really don’t care what the parents think of you.We made it past the first few dates, now it's time to meet the parents
A podcast and video from Gary Parrish & Norlander (at CBS Sports I believe) stated that there are many ADs and school presidents not in love with us possibly coming.. He mentioned that Yormark will have to be a major salesman to sell us.From what I've seen, we already have the minimum 12/16 votes needed from the Big 12 ADs.

Oops, I didnt see earlier message from Ucxc24A podcast and video from Gary Parrish & Norlander (at CBS Sports I believe) stated that there are many ADs and school presidents not in love with us possibly coming.. He mentioned that Yormark will have to be a major salesman to sell us.
Hoping he can sell an igloo to an eskimo cuz I want the program to exist in future.
Last time he was in Texas though, he sorta offended... well, the entire city of Houston.Hopefully they bring Lamont along too. He has shown his support to UConn athletics and I think that goes a long way with the schools in the Big 12. That shows the state is behind the program which only helps down the road.
Norlander is always negative.Norlander on his podcast sounding very skeptical about uconn to the big 12. Says presidents are concerned about football (obviously) and the house settlement. He said Yormark might be able to sell it, but he did sound very hesitant.
