I'm confident. There, I said it!
Well, unsay it.
We're doomed. D-O-O-M-E-D !

apparently, Memphis plays basketball...I've said this before, but if you're writing an article about Big 12 expansion at this point and you don't mention UConn, you're an idiot and aren't worth paying attention to.
I don't care if you want us in, or think it's ridiculous that we're even a consideration. But we're a consideration.
Guy even threw Tulane in there. What a joke.
Big 12 Expansion: UConn, USF lead; Houston at bottom in athletics 'worth' per report | Hookem.com
Now they're starting to get it.
There's no way to know what the B12 presidents are looking for but assuming this data is correct, Cincy isn't even on the same playing field as us, USF, BYU and even UCF. Numbers can be deceiving but they don't necessarily lie either.I get what you're saying but anything that says USF has more athletic value than Cincinnati is preposterous.

Are you @the husky army on twitter?Geez... wonder where they got that from??? See post #589 above of the tweet that started this >>>Big 12 Meetings
Again, I'm just assuming the data is put together correctly. I think the WSJ is a reputable enough source. Success on the field (or on the court) does not correlate worth. If Cincy's numbers were way off then I'd like to know what they really are.That source says USF MBB is twice as valuable as Cincinnati.
USF: 596-707 (.457); 3 NCAA tournaments; 3 NIT tournaments
UC: 1717-993 (.634); 30 NCAA tournaments; 2 National Championships; 6 final fours; 10 NIT tournaments
Yes, USF is a much more valuable program in MBB.
I think when you look at their body of work UC is a way better choice and should be selected with us based on that. But the analysis is not based on wins and losses. Its based on how they are handling their money and athletic department. It looks like we are a much safer bet than everyone and that our university officials are fantastic at being stewards of our tax dollars and private donations. UC may have hit it ceiling where UConn and USF can only go up!
“(Ryan) Brewer analyzed each program’s revenues and expenses and made cash-flow adjustments, risk assessments and growth projections to calculate what a college team would be worth on the open market, if it could be bought and sold like a professional franchise.”

Lol...so business has nothing to do with guessing. Great point.So he guessed. Cool that explains it.
I'm still thinking Cincy and Houston are in like flynn. I still maintain UConn is the best candidate (and likely third on the Big 12's list) so I hope they go for four - and honestly, I don't see why they wouldn't. The biggest question is who's the fourth?
BYU raises red flags. (Hell, they'd already be in if they didn't). Memphis is a cut below. UCF/USF are indistinguishably blah.
What do you think about East Carolina?

Got a better explanation for such a seemingly glaring report on UC? No one is saying your Bearcats shouldn't be in B12... But as the saying goes The numbers hardly ever lie. I hope we are both in for instant rivalry games.
Actually it was this guy who first posted it (he compiled the data from two separate WSJ articles if you go back thru his timeline)No... just the copy/paste guy here. That piece of work is all @huskyarmy.
