If you define extracting value as extracting the most valuable properties and putting them in other leagues, then yes. This has been going on for years. I don’t blame them, I’m just saying that the writing is on the wall. The ACC and Big East are already being diminished in the national...

It is pretty clear that the networks are going to kill off the ACC and Big East next. The best way of handling that is a sensible merger of the remaining parts.

And Hartford New Haven is a good size market anyway.

We didn’t have espn pimping us 24/7 and we weren’t giving jobs and big houses to the parents of 5*’s.

No chance. They are in the Nova category, maybe even a notch below that. I only say that because they completely caught lightning in a bottle having a bunch of lottery picks come back and try for a repeat rather than enter the draft. It helped that a couple were from very wealthy families. Part...

lol. Look at the date of my post.

Honestly, the weather would be what reeled me in if I could make it. Boston with holiday decor still up and a fresh coat of snow is amazing. A snow day in Boston is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever experienced. The old neighborhoods like Beacon Hill transport you back to the 1700’s...

Interesting. I was thinking they’d just run “what if?” scenarios.

Me too. I feel very confident. After previous debacles with PP, Edsall 2.0 and Diaco, I had to slow down and think it through. I decided that a guy that consistently wins in the MAC and gets 3* and higher players is going to succeed with UConn’s brand and a pot of NIL cash to spend.

The Big East better step up on the court and make sure people want to watch or the next contract is going to suck. I’m not sure the Big East can make it past 2030 being referred to as a “major”. I’m not even sure it will make it another year or two with that designation in mainstream media. It...

Can we get one?

UConn football and basketball are far and away my main focus. Pats and Bucs. I’m a lifelong Pats fan and love having Drake May—pumped to be back. When Brady went to Tampa Bay, I became a Bucs fan too. Then they got Baker Mayfield, who just happened to be my favorite player, so my Bucs fandom...

I posted in another thread, but I hope we can get Toledo’s QB, Osborne. Good player.

Toledo’s QB, Osborn, has a lot of potential. He’s a beast on the ground and throws it ok too. He’s young so there’s room for development. Wouldn’t mind him joining us.

Seems about what I figured.
