Nope, not all or not many. NESN and NBC Sports only show abut 60-80 I believe. You have very limited chances to see UConn. You'll probably only see a handful of games, 5?
 
Ah that sucks. Where does UConn play? On campus? I'm really out of the loop here.

SOme are on NESN, but its basically filler content around Bruins games and Red Sox replays, ACC Sunday night basketball (Not always BC), Dennis and Callahan morning show, and NESN Daily. It'll be interesting to see if a station like MyTV9 or CPTV pick up UConn games next year.

Nothing is stopping UConn from selling the rights to televise these games, but I'm guessing that because UMass, BC and BU can't (or won't) do it, it may be tough for UConn too.

Also should mention to other posters that NESN AND NBCSports show games.

Matt,

What you know about PC hoops could fit on the head of a pin.

Hey Sean since you continue to run your mouth on our board why don't you educate us on why PC shut down 3 men's sports in 1999..1 of which was your VERY good baseball program...and the differenc in your total athletic budget compared to our football budget. And while you are at it please educate us as to the last time you won a NCAA men's basketball title...Enjoy your renewed status as a leech on your new/old conference!
 
I don't have the time or the patience to break down teh affects that title 9 has on small private institutions vs. state schools. Read a book. Educate yourself.

What does that tell you regarding small schools future with hoops?

At least they don't have to worry about duck*ing Tulsa.

Tulsa.

We went from playing Georgetown to playing Tulsa and Tulane.

In basketball? IN ANYTHING.

It tells me that unless you are alligned with like minded institutions; ones with no delusions about football; you are screwed

UConn didn't go from playing Gtown to playing Tulane. They went from playing GTown to Memphis. Compare apples to apples. If you want to compare Tulane to a former conference member, use Providence.

Please explain "delusions"

As opposed to intentionally handicapping yourself by not considering the benefits of FBC football. A school hailing from a "basketball-only" conference without a corresponding football element has not won a Division 1 basketball national championship in 28 years. Only 3 teams have that opportunity over the next two weekends, but are 9, 13, and 15 seeds. The odds don't look so promising.

In fact, the last school to win a Division 1 basketball championship without a corresponding Div. 1A or FBS team was UConn in 1999, over 14 years ago...Albeit a 3 seed, only Marquette meets this criteria. However they still benefited from playing in the Big East, whose football schools also field more of the better basketball teams in the conference (Pitt, Cuse, UConn, Louisville, ND).

It'll be interesting to see where both conferences stand in 3-4 years, when the current recruiting cycle runs its course, and conference realignment shakes out a little more.
 
No argument that keeping the BE together was the best option. It was a dominant BBall conference. As the FB schools sought "greener" pastures; the BBall schools had to look out for #1. Fiscally, no way PC could field a football program. Outside of the school stumbling onto a "T Boone", it ain't happening.

I am educated...I am a fan of a "big time athletic school"... one that spends a LOT of money on their sports! I don't need a big mouth punk of some SMALL TIME runt sized catholic school with an athletic budget that doesn't even approach mid-major status on my schools board running his mouth to tell me OR educate me about college athletics! Like I said before...enjoy leeching off GTown, Nova, butler, and Marquette...you are a fan of a sub mid-major school who hasn't been relevent in years! The football schools should have split with the hoops schools in 04! If it wasn't for your fellow PC boy Tranghese trying to keep the cash flowing to the leech schools like PC and SHU it would have happened!

What exactly is the different between Tulsa/Tulane and DePaul/Seton Hall?

Nothing. That was the point I was trying to make yesterday. We no longer play Cuse and Pitt this year, and UL (after 2014, right?) For shame, but it is what it is. But the comparatives for Gtown and Marquette are not Tulane or Tulsa. It is Memphis and Temple. The comparatives for St. Johns and PC and/or DePaul is Tulane.

Plus Aresco mentioned a couple weeks ao that because the split was realitively amicable, OOC games could most certainly be scheduled between the two conferences. Thinking along those lines, the comparison for Gtown in the Big East is Gtown in the C2bNL.

You are a fan of a bigtime BASKETBALL school. Please spare me all the football and baseball rants...we both know you aren't big time in either. Fluking your way into the ass kicking of a lifetime in a BCS bowl that actually cost your school millions doesn't make you bigtime.

The day after your pissant little bible college does anything of note (or even finishes in the top half of your conference in any sport that isn't a club sport or an intramural competition), please hurry back here, breathlessly, and share your good news with us.

I promise we will all did deep to see if we can manage to give a .
 
How's 4th in HE and a top 20 ranking in hockey? I know you think that it's a club sport, bc thats the level you're at. Some schools actually pplay at a high level
 
BCS Bowls cost most schools millions, even those from the Power 4.

Rant against UConn's "big time" status all you want. They had 3 baseball players drafted in the first round a couple years ago, and Mazzilli is on his way this year. They also get players to the NFL.

I saw a snipbit of the CenterStage with Calhoun this morning, who stated that nothing is more important to a college recruit than a chance to get to the NBA. Odds are, this has a better chance of continuing under a 13 year NBA veteran (back)hand(edly) picked by a Hall of Fame coach vs. over Ed Cooley. Providence College really does not offer that opportunity in the revenue generating sports.

Oh, and UConn Hockey is going HE next year. They also skated with the #2 team in the country for 55 minutes earlier this season.
 
I guess all teh hockey players in the nhl from PC disagree with you. So does MarShon Brooks

Your hockey team sounds like they are really top notch.... I am guessing that some students at UNH speak reverently of your success.

And did you know that UConn has a national quality indoor polo team?

Yeah, probably not. It is kind of like your hockey team in that regard. I don't think very many people really give much of a crap about those niche sports.

But mazel tov to you and those others who can only hang their hats on that kind of obscure success....

You really should spend more time on the Syracuse board, though. I hear tell they have a Helms Trophy (whatever that is) that they're real proud of, too...

You folks should have lots in common.

Oh....and I did promise that when you fetched back here some tale of sport success that your bible college has enjoyed (no matter how meaningless or obscure) that I would try to give a .

So....here goes......

........................................................................................... And.................

Nope! Sorry! Still can't find even a molecule of give a to lavish on your success...

Sorry to disappoint you.

But, thank you for your continued interest in UConn basketball.... You are invited to continue to live vicariously, through our success, as long as you feel your ego requires it.
 
niche sport=something UCONN sucks at

b/c women's basketball is relevant...right?
