Also interesting words from Uconn's AD in the Fox interview: "whether the Big 12 makes a decision this summer or they don't, something's going to happen next year and I think we're in a great geographical position for a conference like a Big 12." ...and he seems to be tight lipped except to say "that Uconn is doing the right things", when asked about the others scrambling for a spot at the top of their lungs like UCF, Memphis, Houston, Cincy etc... which is all the Sporting News article above really says ...
Maybe Pres Herbst learned something from the last go around, but I do remember this meeting leaking out: " ( former)Kansas State president Kirk Schulz, the chairman of the Big 12 board of directors, had dinner with the UConn brass before the women's basketball game at the XL Center in November. Somewhere between the appetizer and dessert, it's hard to believe the virtues of UConn weren't extolled."

UConn’s Cloak and Dagger Campaign for the Big 12
"What this all boils down to is that while you see the desperation of schools like Cincinnati or Memphis displayed in full view of the public, UConn has apparently chosen the opposite tack."
But I think I'm with you Doc, everyone wants out of the AAC, no one wants in....so give me the MAC..... !!!!
