No, the bad thing about UCONN is that they play football and are a terrible

The risk is financial. The quote from the article sheds new light on additions

Haha. I don’t have animosity towards GU. They destroyed BYU in the WCC. BYU

Gonzaga has no negative impact on football. I don't see an issue with them

No, just stop with the UCONN is more valuable, they have football blahs.

5/29/23 4:47pm

Who says you have to pay UConn a full share?

So you are going to admit a bottom 25 football program into the conference…

5/29/23 4:56pm

I’m not inviting either.

rainorsnow

5/29/23 5:00pm

I’m with you on that. Pick up a couple P12 schools, wait for the ACC implosion.

5/29/23 5:03pm

Basketball only schools hurts the big 12 brand though

So that is a real question. It appears the conference is going to abandon the

As a nascar fan I’m not sure that makes me feel any better. Abandoning what

Sprint really screwed up everything they touched

Nat Gas Man

Why, doesn’t make sense to me.

5/29/23 4:48pm

Yormark is trying to separate basketball brand from the football brand. Adding

Outside of MM, CBB isn’t super appealing to TV networks. It doesn’t move the

Yormark disagrees with you. He thinks it's far more valuable if it could be

And that’s why he is there and I’m here. (I’m just saying what Marchand

No, thanks. Zags can stay put.

I'm not really excited about the Zags or UConn

Same. However, if someone forced me to pick GU or UConn, I’m picking UConn for

UConn titles: 5. Zags titles: . . .

Again, you have no idea what you are talking about.

The article also mentions SDSU and UNLV which I'm not too thrilled about either.

thewaterboy

5/29/23 3:49pm

Both are way better options than SDSU and UNLV, by a LOOOONG shot. Trust Yormark

Does basketball only really bring $$$?

5/29/23 3:46pm

BB Usually quoted as 20-25% of media value, but for Big12, w/ BB brands/success

BamaCoug

5/29/23 3:54pm

It’s a gamble worth taking.

BYU basketball will be like Kansas football. An exercise in futility.

5/29/23 3:50pm

Football is the most important sport for the Big 12, so focus on that. Bball is

Let’s hope Yormark doesn’t become the Larry Scott of the B12.

What if I told you a 14-16 team conf with Gonzaga means no Utah?

5/29/23 4:20pm

Well

OK. I'm convinced.

I'd rather have GU/Creighton than GU/UConn. No need to add a trash football team

marinact

So, let’s add Colorado?

I take back anything negative I said towards you, I totally agree, what are we

5/29/23 5:18pm

Pretty sure UConn would not include football. But being in B12 would allow them

Thing to remember is Yormark is angling toward BB and FB as separate entities in
