Report: Missouri is heading to the SEC; UPDATE: Big East waiting on Navy, Air Force
BIG UPDATE BELOW The University of Missouri will apply to join the SEC in a move that is both "inevitable and imminent," according to a New York Times report. That's huge news, especially since it came out just about an hour before the Big East Presidents were set to start a conference call to...
UConn coaches want to stay in Big East? Don't believe it
If you follow UConn news as obsessively as I do, there is a good chance that in the last 24 hours you've seen a headline like this: "UConn Hoops Coaches Hope Huskies Stay in Big East." Uh, no. If you read the articles attached to those stories it requires an almost willful misreading of the...
ACC wanted UConn before Pittsburgh, move was blocked by..... wait for it..... Boston College!
Yep, that's the news out of Boston today, with a Globe report that the ACC's last move was motivated by basketball above all else, and the only reason UConn didn't get the call was because of Boston College. I'll quote liberally here because I don't want to give myself a brain aneurysm. Enough was...
Faction in ACC favors adding UConn, Rutgers, but opposition remains for Huskies
We're not sure exactly who (*cough* Duke *cough* Maryland), but UConn and Rutgers have some backers in the ACC who want to add the two schools to "further enhance the ACC's presence in the New York City area and the East Coast generally," according to a report from the Baltimore Sun (the majority...
UConn president Susan Herbst reaches out to BC about ACC
As anyone following the never-ending flame-war that DerbyGuy has been waging in the comments against Boston College fans knows, BC does not want UConn in the Big East. In fact, they're actively trying to block the Huskies. However, UConn president Susan Herbst isn't taking the news lying down....
Report: ACC wants UConn... if they come with Notre Dame
UConn has made it painfully obvious over the last five days that they want to go to the ACC, but now, for the first time, there is a report that the ACC wants UConn as well. There's only one catch: for UConn to get an invite Notre Dame has to jump to the ACC as well. And the problem with the catch...
Report: UConn, Rutgers did not pledge to stay in the Big East
After last night's Big East football meeting commissioner John Marrinatto said that all of the remaining Big East football schools pledged to stay together. Reports surfaced almost instantly that despite the pledge UConn was still looking to go elsewhere. Now, the AP is reporting that multiple...
As Big East crumbles around them, Huskies wise to forgo pledge of allegiance
After five days and a handful of late-night bigwig mini-gatherings, college football has downshifted from Apocalypse Now to Apocalypse Later. Again. For the second straight year, Texas got cold feet at the alter with the Pac-10/12 and decided to take its more-shiny (and more-lucrative) ball and go...
UConn has some unlikely allies: Duke and Maryland
No one knows if the ACC will be expanding to sixteen teams, but people in Storrs sure hope it is, and in that they may have some unexpected allies: Duke and Maryland. I missed this when it was in the Baltimore Sun a couple of days ago, but it's worth mentioning because it provides some picture of...
Report: ACC, SEC reject West Virginia's application
West Virginia has applied for membership in the SEC and ACC and rejected by both conferences, according to a report this morning from CBS' Bret McMurphy, who has been one of the lead reporters on conference expansion. As far as UConn is concerned this is interesting because we know the Huskies...
