Message: [QUOTE="FriarJ, post: 1996267, member: 1304"] I have to think the NBE is pretty damn happy with their current conference arrangement. Not saying they wouldn't take UConn but compared to 4 years ago it would be a spirited discussion. The coaches seem adamant about keeping the round robin, so if it were to ever happen I would think that only one team gets added and it would have to be only someone of a UConn brand (basketball 1st) As long as UConn, It's fans, administration and Board of Trustees pine away for P5 inclusion and football glory, it's not happening. I do think the one thing that is a problem for UConn as related to its current situation is home attendance for conference games that no one seems to give two craps about. Tickets are still a big part of revenue for the athletic department, outside the elusive TV $. PS. Jay Wright is not going to leave Nova for Illinois. Buzz Williams was pulling some crap at Marquette and they reigned him in, forcing his hand. Comparing that situation with Jay Wright is asinine. [/QUOTE]
