The UConn Pod: Expansion Decision Near?

UConn is trying to go about its business, but conference realignment casts a large shadow.

At some point today, a UConn contingent will be in Texas making the case for the university’s inclusion in the Big 12 Conference. President Susan Herbst and Athletic Director David Benedict will be competing against 4-7 schools for somewhere between zero and four openings, according to various reports.

As this Big 12 expansion saga continues, each passing week is more ridiculous than the last. The start of football season has made it worse.

29,000 people attend the football game against an FCS opponent on a Thursday? You don’t belong in the Big 12!!!!

Fall behind to Maine? Can’t even hang with the FCS LOL!
