Message: [QUOTE="upstater, post: 4077813, member: 153"] While I think Huggins is absolutely right that football is free-riding on the NCAA tournament, there are bad implications for what Huggins is saying. Football makes all this revenue but the NCAA can't use it to run championships for non-revenue sports. The NCAA relies on basketball for that, so basketball subsidizes the championships of all other sports. That may be fine at the end of the day, but it increases the importance of football relative to basketball at individual schools. So Huggins is right. Huggins' plan would actually benefit UConn. That being said, it would absolutely demolish non-revenue sports. I'm not sure Huggins cares. [/QUOTE]
