Half the board was rooting for this to happen. Let's see if this is our path to salvation.

(Still doomed though.)

Yee of little faith.

 

[WestCoastHusky]

This is all over real news sources now. This is done. Let's hope UCONN will soon follow behind.

 

[ZooCougar]

I still think we’re going to get boned. We’re about to find out.

 

[Jimdish255]

I never lost hope. Then again I've been following this school for over 3 decades.

As noted earlier the reasons to leave the Big 12 are gone and so are the reasons to stay in the PAC 12. All the rest was noise from uninformed morons trying to sound important.

I’m in that half and anxiously awaiting.

 

[Ldandy]

Let’s go Huskies!

Let’s go Huskies!

Hopefully the ones from Connecticut and not Washington.

Kinda weird for someone to post Colorado is officially leaving when people have been reporting it all day.

 

[ScottVib]

According to ESPN it's done and they're joining for next year.

 

[giddyup]

Wow. Is it happening? Could it be ?

Could be.

It's nice when your media contract runs out so soon and you can go right away. No waiting around for 2-3 years to move and have those awkward moments where you're that one guy that everyone ignores at parties.

 

[giddyup]

Could be.

Chuck is at full speed and at the point of contact. what will Lucy do?

No mention of UConn by the national reporters.

Aaron Torres mentioned UConn, but I don't know how connected he is.

I do, too. I hope this message ages poorly. The best thing would be for Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah hesitate and wait for the numbers on the Pac 12 deal, that Kliavkoff keeps stalling on, and UConn get the invite from the Big 12 quickly and of course accept.

If it isn't meant to be, I won't like it, but I won't be heartbroken. UConn will have to continue to make lemonade when life gives it lemons and continue kicking arse in basketball and build their football and brand themselves as a novelty independent that can cultivate a following until a P5 can't resist and then offers UConn a spot. UConn's decade of futile football couldn't have come at a worse time.

This was the domino that had to fall. UConn’a only chance is with Colorado or another odd number of PAC schools. There was no chance we’d get an invite otherwise. The Bay Area and northwestern PAC schools aren’t going to the Big XII. AZ schools might.

Guys-
This interview is from two days ago. Around 4 minute mark on - this is Brett Yormack.



Sounds like UConn. East coast, coast to coast, national conference, brand upside, Hoops.... academic standing, alumni network.....

excited NGL

If you believe we were not going to the B12 without Colorado (I do) then you should not expect a UConn announcement until Colorado is official. I bet we see the same reporting about us tomorrow night once Colorado officially accepts. We are not notifying the Big East until everything is done and dusted.
