“I don’t believe college sports have ever been more valuable than they are now" FOCUS on that Mike Aresco quote & then maybe some of the whalerfans amongst us can calm down.
We MAY not have gotten our ETicket to the ACC. And, the hand-wringing certainly has made us all look into the abyss. But, WE (UConn & our Conference of Misfit Toys) are gonna make a windfall. Whatever the observers of the world think ... and the little gnome like guys on their WVU websites (as the Mountain State gets wireless rollout this year) ... the Timing is just unbelievable to be negotiating this contract. With several Networks (other than the self-proclaimed "Mothership World-Leader") needing content of Live Sports.
Memphis. Temple. SMU. etc etc ... all these schools would have to be a Major F---Up to not realize that they need to step up & perform well. This is a unique opportunity.
