Message: [QUOTE="Sea Goat, post: 5072411, member: 3716"] I understand your sentiment, but I submit that it's short sighted. Now we make bubkis in the BE. Unless BB is monetized akin to the CFP, the payouts for the BE will always suck. Ultimately, the the P-2 will dominate in BB because of the spin off financial benefits made possible by CFP. Already, Greg Sankey, SEC Commissioner, is eying dominance in hoops fueled by the SEC's huge $$ advantage driven by CFP. We made $6.5mm from the BE in 2023. This was the same as Creighton. The lowest of the low in P-2 make 10x that amount. Are we are going to keep funding $38mm shortfalls in our athletic budget each year? We need a full service conference. Failure to find one will eventually destroy UConn sports as we know it... (Notwithstanding Murphy 's uninformed comments to the contrary...) [/QUOTE]
