UConn 'In the Mix' as All-Sports Addition to Big 12: Report
Big 12 expansion has been a topic of conversation over the past several months, but has really heated up over the last two weeks. With rumors circling about schools like Colorado and UConn, there have been several outlets reporting that the Big 12 is on the verge of expanding yet again. Now, the...

people that say/claim we should not take uconn as an all sports member forget 3 things:
1. big 12 needs Northeast eyeballs
2. Yormark has dealt ace after ace, if he thinks Uconn is additive, he's the one who knows. he got the new big 12 members over 31 million a year when all the media people were saying we'd get american/m west money. This guy knows his **** and we need to trust him.
3. no one is taking a pay cut. ESPN will pay for Uconn bc ESPN is in conn and is tight with uconn. Uconn wont happen all sports unless espn pays us for uconn just like uconn is a power 5 team.
4. colo cant come alone. What if colo is the only pac team coming? you cant have 15 teams. who else is better than uconn?

Totally agree with #2 and #3.
#1 is not that true, at least for football. If basketball is undervalued as Yormark suggests then you do want the NE.
#4 is fine. A 15 team conference works fine if you have an 8 game conference schedule.

This. ESPN is the big dog and ESPN loves UCONN. Would be a fine addition. They are additive.
Colorado board of regents has scheduled a public meeting for this Friday. They had the executive session (private) session today. Looks like answers are coming on Friday.
Just to stir the pot, I read Swaim and MHver both believe that the BIg12 will use pods for scheduling.

Playing teams you hate and win is more fun.
This is a bit overblown honestly. I live in CT and honestly ESPN doesn’t make any special accommodation for UConn athletics aside from women’s hoops (although ESPN slobbered over Notre Dame during the Skyler Diggins years and lately with South Carolina and Caitlyn Clark more than they really ever did during UConn women’s dynasty with Moore and then Stewart) and when the men are good. People at ESPN don’t give a **** about UConn football and didn’t even when they were at their peak with Randy Edsall.
In fact UConn has been upset publicly around here that ESPN doesn’t promote them more than they do because ESPN is all SEC and Big Ten or football blue bloods.
CU scheduled another Special Board Meeting for Friday after the session today ended.
ESPN picked Boston College over UConn too for ACC expansion, rankling the Huskies.
