UConn releases information it had sent to Big 12 in hopes of joining conference

After the Big 12 elected not to expand, leaving UConn (and numerous others) out to dry, UConn released the various multimedia materials it had submitted to the conference in its pitch to be selected.

Links to all those submitted materials can be found here.

Also, here are the public statements from president Susan Herbst, AD David Benedict and board of trustees chairman Larry McHugh:

SUSAN HERBST

The announcement by the Big 12 Conference against expansion is not unexpected and is indicative of the volatile world of college athletics administration.

While I am sure many in our community are nervous about what this means for our future, I am confident that we have put our best foot forward with considerable effort to demonstrate how we currently operate our university and athletics programs at a ‘Power 5’ level and will continue to do so.
