The only way to ensure survival of UCONN hoops is through a Power conference. The only way to gain access to a Power conference is through football. It is that simple.
The NBE is nothing more than a mid-major conference that nets its teams $5M/yr. That isn't even enough to pay our head coaches' salaries. No, if we want to continue to compete at a national level in hoops, we need P5 money. Unless of course, we are all happy with occasional Sweet 16 appearances until the eventual P5 conference tournament coming 10+ years from now once the big conferences grow tired of making over $1B per year for the NCAA.
