Your attachment to trashing the basketball program just seems like flailing. And how the basketball program has done the last two years really doesn't mean anything. Hasn't helped, but poll your average American or do common word association and say 'UConn' chances are the person will say 'basketball'. At the end of the day we're in this conference because of football with the hopes of more TV revenue.

TV networks want stability. Aresco wants this to insure stability. No one will sign it. We won't get a better TV deal at the end of the day. And the point of all this to keep some silly starving artists dream of a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow you've signed up to ride for 10-15 years is the epitome of being bonkers. The program isn't even self-sustaining anymore. I'm not even sure most *want* the program to turn around anymore.

Either way, the idea that football's our magic carpet ride to the promised land is dead as a doornail.
