Message: [QUOTE="Patman, post: 5070353, member: 3391"] reality is they probably weren't a scholarship player regardless. While D1 and D2 can give scholarships they aren't many to come by at either level. The few scant times I've looked at those types of schedules is maybe there's 1-2 more events a season that require a bit more travel than D2. However, the point that it doesn't follow along the conference lines is true and Big East for the running sports may as well be in the Big 12, functionally. Its not like you're running dual meets like high schoolers. You mostly run regional events. UConn will compete as often against Keene State in a year as they will against Butler or potentially Baylor. The big meets of the year will be against participants Central Connecticut, Boston University, Yale, or Albany. [/QUOTE]
