The only "movement" happening is-Oh nevermind!

I'm not speaking as to the credibility of the guy but I was waiting to see if I would have to point out to you folks that he never says anything about UConn placement, just that he had some interesting conversations that folks on that forum would find very interesting.

He is allowing you to think it is directly involving UConn.

As I thought, I ended up having to point out what I thought was obvious but ends up not being so obvious after all I guess.

When this posted H1 I checked the internet and zilch! Nobody else is running with this. I think the word in the original post was "Fishy". Indeed!

The guy is the moderator on the UConn football board. He posts in a forum on that board dedicated to conference realignment. The information that he heard was heard at the UConn spring game. I don't understand what you are saying, that the guy is referencing UConn? That makes zero sense.

Moreover, a very reputable and high powered business lawyer additionally vouches for the guy-

"The OP has credibility. Does that mean his source is right or speculation won't come to fruition? We have no way of knowing. But I have zero doubt that he heard something from someone who he belives has credibility"

So all these UConn guys are vouching for his credibility. The anti-Uconn guys might just get their comeuppance, and that looks like it it is scaring a whole lot of people...

Agree. Businesslawyer has been a good poster over there and moderator Fishy usually gives snarky remarks to other "insiders with supposed info" where as this one he seems to be supporting.

Could definitely be something in the air. The timing would seem to be about right, with the B1G national TV contract coming up, they probably have assessed what the additions of Maryland and Rutgers have meant to the BTN this past year, so they may believe now is a good time to get a foothold in New England.

I actually hope it works out for UConn. I have mad respect for their overall athletic programs if not their fans.

Cheers,
Neil

He is a very active member of the realignment community and in his words doesn't "post this stuff lightly" and "the conversations did not focus on any oceans or coast lines"

Aain, this poster is acutely aware of realignment's impact on the Uconn community, and has come forward....

Is the poster named Miko?

Once again, I do love to see people go off on a tangent after completely misunderstanding what they read. All I said was simply that the quoted statements say nothing about UConn directly and yes I was aware of his position there. I was able to read the thread just as easily as anyone else.

My comment is not "Anti-UConn". If you weren't so damn ignorant, you would know that I have been very solid in my statements that UConn's spot has been assured in the ACC. So how I am anti UConn is beyond me. Truth is, you are just throwing a little tantrum here.

Even the lawyer doesn't say anything to lead to UConn. I know of something very interesting that is in the works. It indirectly involves UConn but its not all about UConn. Nothing that said person on the UConn board says would directly contradict my statement. The guy is just letting you know that something is happening, that is all. It started right after the Tournament ended.

I don't think anyone doubts that the poster heard or overheard something at the spring game or that the poster might be a forum moderator and connected inside the UConn program.

So he says UConn to the Big10. Might it happen? Sure it could. UConn is deserving of the P5.

But until there is other corroborating info from a reputable source, I doubt anyone is going to give UConn to the Big10 much credence as we have all been down led down the garden path i.e. realignment rumor mill before.

Does it involve Cincy?

Technically speaking? Yes. It involves pretty much everyone in FBS to some degree.

No, he DIDN'T say UConn to The Big Ten. This is like an extremely bad version of the telephone game.

Technically speaking, no. Will it be looked at as realignment related in the future? I would bet on it.

A poster in this thread said something about a non-disclosure being signed with the Big10. I assumed it was UConn signing the nondisclosure. My bad.

The UConn poster wrote the following:

"Had some interesting conversations today at the Spring game. All I can say is that by agreement, they must remain confidential."

"Unfortunately no time frame... I hope my history on the BY is lengthy enough that folks know I'm not looking for clicks. Just passing along seemingly very good news. Understand people's frustrations with lack of details but again it was seemingly very good news"

"The conversations did not focus on any oceans or coast lines"

The main moderator of the board and who has not responded well to past rumors, (thinking it was getting the fanbase's hope up for nothing) says in this thread:

"This....is the best news I have seen in quite a while."

And when another poster in the thread tries to make snarky remarks (a role the main moderator usually takes with these types of post), the moderator tells said snarky poster:

"You should shut up now."

Now whether or not any of it is true or not, I don't know. But what is clearly being implied in this thread is pretty plain to everyone but H1. Now, again, H1 may ultimately proven to be correct, but his offshoot of what this all means is clearly not what the UConn poster who began the rumor is saying at all.

Cheers,

Wrong. It is obvious that the UConn moderator wants folks at that forum to think it is all about UConn but that doesn't mean such is the truth. It may have a positive affect on UConn in the end which would be why it would make him excited.

I find it funny Omni that you are attempting to "say what the poster was saying" when the poster was purposefully being very vague which means you CANT tell us what the poster is saying.

All I am saying is that he is not saying anything at all about UConn getting into anything. You and others are trying to fictitiously write that story as the truth but it's not.

While you have a tendency to be quick with ad hominem attacks, I'll assume that you did not mean to come across as so terribly belligerent.

I still don't follow your logic: You're saying what the poster on the UConn board is intimating doesn't concern UConn directly, but rather all of FBS in part because you have some information about an impactful event.

The problem with this thinking is twofold: the Uconn-centric focus of the original claims, buttressed by more and further UConn claims, and two, and more importantly, if the UConn poster was possessed of the same type of information that you purportedly hold, why would the poster take care to shunt the conversation back to UConn repeatedly?

He doesn't.

I'll be damned. UConn joins Iowa in the Big 10. Who'dve thunk it.

Congrats Hawkeyes. You are getting a great addition.
