Silverman and delany know that to get entry into ny, ru isn't going to cut it. the case of psu and philly made that abundantly clear.
"Last summer, the ACC moved to take two more schools — Syracuse and Pittsburgh — from the Big East. On Sept. 12, it voted to add Notre Dame — long presumed to be in the sights of the Big Ten — in all sports but football. Some Big Ten athletic directors believed Delany grew wary that the ACC would move to grab Rutgers and Connecticut, two Big East schools who provided some semblance of an entry into the New York media market, an unclaimed territory for college sports."

the few people that knew at md, never leaked the info. this is consistent with uconn right niw. no comment. no comment. contrast uconn with cincy's rejection from the acc. publuc comments from cincy officials.
as much as we think that manuel is not out there pumping uconn, his quietness-along with herbst- is more telling than anything. those two cannot possibly be immune from the shear cacaphony of angst that is bouncing around storrs. this issue is defining the school. yet we haven't had so much of a "we'll be fine" platitude thrown at us. we've gad one statement from herbst about-research. and one from manuel about "captive audience". She was supposed to be at the img conference, where she knew she'd get inundated with, "what are you thinking, what are you going to do" questions. herbst was in nyc at the tine but skipped the conference even though she was scheduled to be on the main panel with emmert and wake pres. where's the reason why? dutifully, her loyal soldier manuel attended, and said not much of anything, as instructed.
additionally, look at the stories on background coming out on ru and md's move, and the cincy move. yet we have no insider sources, no names, no dates of meetings, of phone talks, of fertive attempts to get into the acc. all we have is silence, and manuel's usvi vacation. blauds today said it was silence in storrs. a throway quote from jacobs about manuel working his "hump" off. usvi anyone??? a xall never made to miami using clinton?
i know we mock ct's press, whats goin on, but this is a new low for them. heck, the doyle piece has no source quotes from uconn in it. it's a regurgitation of other media's quotes. nothing of gerbsts actions, nothing at all.
what about the actual calls made?
finally, never forget the idiocy of politicians. more silence. it must being killing the dunderheads, but that's the price, blumenthal and a microphone, salt and peper. malloy gettibg crushed with deficit, yet not an ounce of red meat on an easy issue.
silence all around, especially in areas where you don't expect it. just like the big 10 wants. just like ru and md had to endure.
