Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 3773159, member: 8688"] Would you rather be a big fish in the Big East, or a minnow (Wake, BC, Pitt, Syracuse) in the ACC? The short-term $$$ are compelling in the ACC, but I'll suggest the long-term prospects are brighter in the Big East, especially if UConn becomes moderately successful as a football independent. All the revenue (if any, I concede) generated by independent football stays with UConn. No revenue-sharing. From a fan point-of-view, does any UConn fan really want to be a geographical outlier, rooting (as BC must) for wins over VT, Miami, FSU, and Georgia Tech, schools that are light years removed physically, and in some cases, culturally. And Louisville? A glorified community college. Benedict nailed the move to the Big East. Now Edsall needs to make independence work. [/QUOTE]
