Deja vu all over again...
How about Cincinnati? Would be a good geographic partner for outlier West Virginia.If the money is right, big if. Nebraska will move back into a league with TX and OU provided such a thing will exist at that time.
Other than that, much ado about nothing. Same environment means the same result. No one will join a weak B12 that B12 would want to invite.
That's a junk pile.Future Big 12: Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas State, OK State, TCU, Texas Tech, WVU, UCF, USF, Houston, Cincinnati, and Memphis.
FIFYWaaaa, P5 will never want us, waaaa. Our football sucked since Pasqualoni and because of that, the P5 don't want us. Waaaa.
The Big Ten is proving they don't need football powers anymore. Adding more will only probably irk fan bases. Look at Nebraska.
We had solid players during his time, which carried over until Diaco's Fish Oil Salesman RKGs took over. Fix that for yourself.FIFY

When did we have our biggest home crowd in UConn football history? I can't remember.
Me either.When did we have our biggest home crowd in UConn football history? I can't remember.

OU/Texas go...west or east? And what happened to state legislatures not letting OK State and TTU get left behind?Future Big 12: Baylor, Iowa State, Kansas State, OK State, TCU, Texas Tech, WVU, UCF, USF, Houston, Cincinnati, and Memphis.
I think there’s a chance they go west.OU/Texas go...west or east? And what happened to state legislatures not letting OK State and TTU get left behind?
Deloss Dodds is now a consultant for College Sports Solutions. UConn should hire the firm so it gets out of the basement of college sports and back into elite status for men's BB and FB. ACC, B10 is not out of reach if we act prudently. about-college-sports-solutions
I have to say, I'd rather be in the Big 12 than the AAC, but I'm so sure I'd rather be in the Big 12 than the Big East.The "we need to expand" message comes out a week before SEC and ABC/ESPN announce massive new deal. Methinks someone might have had good info on numbers on the new deal and wanted to get ahead a bit on the messaging so expansion doesn't look so reactive. Even though it would be so reactive.
Whaler Fan is right. UConn is just too far away and overall is not a good fit to be in B12. ACC and perhaps B10 much better fit.If I'm the Big 12 and looking out at the landscape wondering who to take this is what I see....
Boise State - the most attractive option football wise. Everything else, meh.
Cincinnati - #2 hand's down. Dwarfed by OSU but still a good program sportwise
Memphis - #3 in Tennessee. Lots of FedEx cash but stadium is a joke and they're still Memphis State
Houston - #5 in Texas. Can fill Reliant Stadium with big teams coming in but still #5 in Texas
Central Florida - Biggest enrollment in the country but it's a commuter school. #4 in Florida. Big 12 can recruit there no problem.
South Florida - meh
BYU - no Sunday games. Non-starter.
Temple - I'd say #3 in Pennsylvania behind Penn St. and Penn. I've been to a few games there and never paid more than $7 for 2nd row seats.
UConn - we're just too damn far for this league.
This is just my opinion which when take that and add $1 will buy you a large diet Coke at McDonalds.

I know, I know the money is world's different but we'd be back to being on a crazy travel schedule that was really rough on the guys.
Yeah, I know, football would be back in the P5, but, frankly we need to build up a bit until it is ready to compete.
Yeah, I know certainty for the Athletic Dept, but the Big 12 is one of the least stable P5.
Just saying.
