Message: [QUOTE="uconndogs, post: 5074466, member: 57"] I doubt even that scenario would have been sustainable in the current climate. This is a money grab of the first order with nothing in the way of cost control. There is no leadership to align the interests of financial gain, the student athlete and academics....to the extent academics is even remotely relevant anymore. Top tier academic institutions like Vilanova will not be playing this game for very long - and that will evenutally include hoops. I would argue that those institutions in the power conferences will be in a similar spot soon as they realize they will not be able to compete and retain talent - BC, Vandy, etc. I'm not sure UCONN hangs in there with football and if they don't, then can they continue to compete at the highest level in hoops? Ugly situation..... [/QUOTE]
