Message: [QUOTE="ecasadoSBU, post: 5173262, member: 3976"] What I find odd over the past few years since Connecticut joined the Big East is that the league is averaging less bids overall than it did in its initial 6 years. For me that makes no sense considering how good of an addition UConn has been for the league (2xNC). But it seems like the league overall dropped in quality after UConn joined even though UConn has performee really well. The 2014-19 the Big East averaged 5.33 bids per year with 10 members 2021-24 it averaged 4.5 bids per year despite having one additional top notch program. I really hope the Big East can go back to routinely getting 5-6 bids on an average year and 7 on a really good year like it did back in 2017. I know quality of seeds matter a lot. But sending a lot of teams is also good so we can get those units $$$ Also, does any of this mean we are probably better off sticking at 11 than adding that 12th member? Or am I overthinking it? Not enough data? [/QUOTE]
