Blame the TSA for that, not the local sports writers.

Bullcrap.  Blame the local hack piece of shlt Tom Jones.  O Town's POS hack might as well have a Kangit tutu on with all the cheerleading he does for UCF.    Our guys should be the ones fighting for us, instead he goes out of his way to undermine our efforts.  I hope he gets fired and never works again.

In his article he compared our actual numbers to other teams announced numbers.

Totally disingenuous!

UConn is scheduled to make its formal presentation for admission to the Big 12 Conference on Thursday in Dallas, according to a source close to the situation.

"If it weren't for geography, I think they would be in great shape [for inclusion], I do," said Todd Turner, who was UConn AD from 1987-90. "I don't think the status of their football program will be a big issue because they've been good before and they have the infrastructure in place with a good young coach [Bob Diaco]. They have invested in the sport. Their budget is very competitive, perhaps even better than some existing Big 12 schools.

"The best thing UConn has going for it is its 20-year history, its fan base and its success in basketball. But I don't think they are going to get in. I'm not sure the Big 12 will take anyone this time around, to be honest.

BIG 12 EXPANSION: WAITING BEGINS FOR UCONN

Posted by Mark Blaudschun | Sep 9, 2016 | A Jersey Guy | 0 

Here, according to sources familiar with the process, is  where we are in the  Big 12 Will Expand/  Big 12 Won’t Expand   Derby.

Interviews/presentations:  They will continue through the end of next week.  Of the 11 schools on the interview “list”, UConn, Houston,UCF and USF had made (as of Friday morning) their sales pitches.  Remaining: Air Force, BYU, SMU,  Rice, Colorado State, Tulane, and Cincinnati.

It is a two-tiered list: Cincinnati , UConn, BYU and UCF are in the first group and have already been vetted by the Big 12. Their presentations were filled with additional details beyond the basics.

The other 7 schools required more of an introduction and have almost no chance of making the final cut unless  some major unknown additions made in their presentations. Most of those schools are being interviewed for political reasons. The rest of this article is available to subscribers only – to become a subscriber click here.

That Rice presented and USF was up to present. 

 

The twitter rumor of the day is that the remaining candidates for Big 12 expansion are presenting today and that this part of the process may be wrapping up

The process as we understand it  has involved the perspective schools presenting data on everything from attendance and endowment to air port distance. The schools are apparently presenting to Bob Bowlsby alone, but again this process is so secretive most of this is subjective interpretation.  We at-least know one school is officially pitching today. Rice has been confirmed as presenting today through Houston media I will link below.

So, are we in yet? Admin peeps give us a hint. If Judy looks like the cat that ate the Canary, we're in. If she looks like she pissed on her favorite pillow and whipped with a cactus, we're not.
