UConn

Hold up on that expansion wise gentlemen.

Really?

I mean UConn isn’t going to the B12, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to leave.

I think we need to see if we can make the BE more attractive than it already is. Gotta make it clear that they would really be walking away from something unique. Obviously we aren’t there yet

Can the BE ever really compete with Power 4/5 football money?

UConn has a huge problem as long as they have crappy football, and championship basketball. Find a football only home for football, somehow get their football good, which appears impossible, or drop football. My guess is they sniff around the ACC before they come to the logical conclusion and drop football. How does the BE make themselves more attractive? They can't. Like I said UConn's issue is a home for football. Nothing the BE can do about that.

UConn is up 42-7 on Merrimack. Call the Big XII!

Their football fan base would probably taking you seriously.

They played against a Civil War battleship?

It could best be described as two ships passing in the night.

From what I've heard the Big 12's vote was 11-5 to include UConn. It needed to be 12-4. Take that for what it's worth.

Oh well. They can try again in five years or so. And...I'm sure they will.

But I hear that UConn's footbal team is getting better

Curious where you hear this? Seems like something that the Big 12 would not want discussed?
