With no smoke yet from credible insiders, it may be another week, another bunch of fake UConn "insiders" exposed. Reminds me of the cesspool that #sjubb (further) became in April when many falsely stated some big names were committing.
Also, I'm unimpressed with what the Big 12 has done so far besides baiting desperate UConn leadership for publicity. Since their two biggest brands announced their departure, they've added 3 AAC teams and 1 WCC team. None of the rumored Pac 12 teams, not even Colorado, have jumped to the Big 12 yet. The only way I see UConn joining anytime soon is if they're paired with Pac 12 team(s) to help offset their football... and even that is iffy.
Regardless of what happens with UConn, I'm 100% in favor of not adding just to add (i.e. anyone from the A10). Add Gonzaga if the numbers work, but that's it. Wait a few years as there may be some better options in the future.
