Message: [QUOTE="ConnHuskBask, post: 4704155, member: 632"] I've grown up seeing UConn play Georgetown, St. John's and Villanova in Big East championship games that mean something to north east basketball. Kansas is cool, but you can't just erase decades of history and meaning associated with those games with a shiny new toy. And if memory serves, you're a Penn State guy too so maybe it makes sense being a league with brand names and no rivals but most of us care about this kind of stuff. Again, 100% for the move, and would be excited to play Kansas but seems kind of similar to Syracuse being gung ho to play UNC and Duke every year. Novelty eventually wears off when you realize you're about 13th on their rivalry pecking order. [/QUOTE]
