Message: [QUOTE="Scrutineer, post: 5222994, member: 8240"] Can't understand why anyone would laugh at your post. The ACC gets the prime time spot Saturday night (as you said), even as a weak league because they have the Duke hype while UConn, with one more NC than Duke, gets overlooked so much the Big East gets the early slot Saturday evening.....the spot the A-10 once held. Someone posted a great article a couple days ago about NIL and Revenue Sharing funds at all schools. Anyone who read that would not be laughing at your post. Instead, they'd be trying to guess how many more years UConn will have a shot at recruiting the best players. My guess is maybe 3 to 5, riding on the Hurley titles wave, before (as Pitino stated when talking about Repole's money) we begin to settle for second tier players because, as members of a revenue challenged league, we won't have the money to buy the players needed for championships. We are not in a good place financially and trying to operate as an independent with our level of revenue will make it impossible to keep up with the schools that have the max (20 million) revenue sharing plus unlimited NIL and increased roster limits. The lifting or elimination of roster limits in football and basketball, in particular, must be another B1G/SEC idea that will allow their teams to keep promising kids on their rosters for the money they can offer. Many here have been thinking NIL will allow schools like UConn to get better (but not the best) players because otherwise they'll be trapped deep on a roster or unable to get on a roster due to sheer numbers. That's gone with increased roster numbers. Let the stockpiling begin........... [/QUOTE]
