Confirmation we are out of Big12 hunt... - BinghamptonNed - 09-08-2016 10:51 AM
what do we have? We have ESPN and the CA as sources that we are out.
We do not have the University of Memphis or the Big12.
Now, I'm not saying that we are in or even on the final list. What I am saying is that the news from ESPN has resulted in extreme self flagellation on our part. I have heard 10 different ways that we don't measure up to the Big12 or even the schools that somehow made the cut. This is silly, we are just as good of a candidate as at least 5 current Big12 members and we are probably the best or second best candidate of the schools that applied for Big12 membership.
I AM NOT saying get your hopes up, I am saying stop doing our enemies job for them.
My stance is that we are probably out and if so, the Big 12 made a big mistake, just like they did when they turned down Louisville, (and NO we are not ACC bound)

1) we are in until the B12 says that we are out
or
2) we are out until the B12 says that we are in

You would think we would have after they bombed Pearl Harbor.

It's about time. Godwin's law.
ok...here's an interesting part:
The quickest way to get an answer on the internet is not to ask a question...just
deliberately post an incorrect answer.
Invest in being wrong!

I don't understand why Rudd won't confirm we are out. Jeff Compher did for ECU. Did not ECU have the same NDA as Memphis? Of course, people can interpret NDAs differently. But what is the Big 12 going to do, if Rudd said what Compher said? Sue us? Retract their non-invitation? Just don't get it.
RE: Confirmation we are out of Big12 hunt... - snowtiger - 09-08-2016 11:42 AM
Is Conference X expanding...or just accepting applicants? Did Rudd ever publicly confirm we were being considered?
signed,
wondering

I don't know his reasons, I do know that I can at least wait until something is official to start saying how lousy my school is and how bad our fans are.

In all likelihood, the ACC caught wind of our big $e$$x offer to the B12 and contacted UofM. With Louisville's enthusiastic support along with the other ACC basketball-first schools, a deal is in the works for us to join the ACC in all sports. But, as the saying goes, a bird in the hand…so until ACC is confirmed, we continue to play ball with the B12, who have never said anything about finalists or invitees or who's out or in. It is probable that if we are not on the invitee list, if there is such a thing, because we are already in.
How's that.
RE: Confirmation we are out of Big12 hunt... - snowtiger - 09-08-2016 11:53 AM
just say no

Yeah that's it. Louisville is on their knees begging Duke and UNC to get their true rival back

Really?
You can't scroll down four post to see the posts discussing all the good reasons why the Big12 has excluded us?

There's always time to talk about how other fans suck. That's like half the posts on the message board.
