I am not saying any football fans want to cancel basketball. I’m confirming that some football fans don’t understand that the move to the Big East was critical. If we’d stayed in the American we’d be in the same spot football wise but basketball would be nowhere near as good.
And I listened to an interview with Hurley and Jon Rothstein recently and they talked directly about what the Big East does for UConn.
Hurley actually said that while the Big East helped energize the fanbase he didn’t give the Big East much credit for improving the program because they were already doing the right things.
