Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3734363, member: 5798"] I truly believe they are for reasons already mentioned. [B]1.[/B] "[B]Better teams make better leagues,[/B] so UConn's return is [U]better[/U] for the Big East. [B]2. The Huskies bring attention;[/B] because of UConn, the American Athletic Conference received more of it over the past seven seasons than the Big East did. That's about to change. [B]3. More spotlight generally means better recruiting opportunities.[/B] BE coaches can now sell their recruits on the opportunity of playing UConn twice a year, and being on national TV, and the possibility of playing in front of a sell out crowd (when the circus comes to town, or they go to the circus in Storrs). [B]4. Better players means better teams. [/B]The elite nature of the Huskies' program will set a higher bar and force the more competitive teams in the Big East to elevate their level". If you're a coach, and you want to be the best, you've got to play the best. UConn will be the BIGGEST game on every BE team's schedule. UConn will get every team's best shot. Every conference team wants to be the first to knock Goliath of his pedestal. [/QUOTE]
