seriously.It would be nice to know what the new deal will be
The deal is not complete yet. Remember, CBS is still involved for some games.It would be nice to know what the new deal will be
The final *6 teams areIn the AAC's case the long-term deal worked out in the conference's favor, insulating conference revenues for the left-behind teams (in a conference were more than half of the members were trying to find an exit from the start of the TV contract). The conference is now dramatically overpaid. (Case in point all 6 of their new editions are each collecting "half-shares" which were only able to be preserved by a greater than 20% increase in inventory given to the network)
Hard to say. But I think Hurley was the bigger factor - not the conference change.So be it. I don't think we win our two NCs under Hurley without the change in conference.
We wouldn’t be able to recruit the players to win a ncca championship in the aacHard to say. But I think Hurley was the bigger factor - not the conference change.
But I am even more confident we don’t wins these, with or without the conference change, if Ollie was still here.
UConn did win an ncaa championship in the AAC with Kevin Ollie. The last women's championship was also in the AAC.We wouldn’t be able to recruit the players to win a ncca championship in the aac
Recruiting was fine when UConn first started playing in the AAC. There were players like Daniel Hamilton, Jalen Adams, Steven Enoch, Amidah Brimah, 2016 was a top 10 recruiting class. Then, Ollie fell off a cliff and UConn suffered. That said, when Houston, Cincinnati, and UCF left the AAC, UConn basketball would have suffered and going back to the BE was the right move.We wouldn’t be able to recruit the players to win a ncca championship in the aac
Hurley disagrees with you.We wouldn’t be able to recruit the players to win a ncca championship in the aac
Maybe. But remember, Ollie actually had a top 10 recruiting class in 2016. And Hurley pulled in a top 20 class, with Booknight & Akok, the year before the announced move to the BE.We wouldn’t be able to recruit the players to win a ncca championship in the aac
Leftover players from the Big EastUConn did win an ncaa championship in the AAC with Kevin Ollie. The last women's championship was also in the AAC.
Hurley doesn’t express self doubt. The AAC would be killing us. It’s ok to just accept that the Big East is a great basketball conference and is where we belong if we aren’t in a P4. The AAC was a huge downgrade for our program and that negative energy surrounded us. It limited recruiting and deflated our fan base. Empty seats don’t sell well to recruits.Hurley disagrees with you.
Two things could be true. The big east has been great and Hurley has stated that they would have had the same success regardless of returning to the Big East. I trust Hurley on this matter over any poster or the twitterati.Hurley doesn’t express self doubt. The AAC would be killing us.

If we were in the B1G, the B1G would finally have meaningful basketball wins.....and a better baseball program. And rounded out their map with the flagship state school of New England and arguably of NE and NY. You know all that, just saying....I had a dream we got invited to the B1G so don't worry guys, no need to fret over the big east media deal or worry about a hypothetical AAC UConn team
it's honestly shocking to me that no big conference will pick us up with a reduced media payout (if it hasn't already been tried). Are we really not worth an extra 5 million or whatever the BE media deal is to the B1G but SMU is to the ACC?If we were in the B1G, the B1G would finally have meaningful basketball wins.....and a better baseball program.

That is better than the dream i had. I dreamt the Big East and Moutain West merged and got BCS status.I had a dream we got invited to the B1G so don't worry guys, no need to fret over the big east media deal or worry about a hypothetical AAC UConn team

We've been on a BE share this whole time, I'd be happy with even a quarter of the B1G for lifeOf course UConn is worth that. But so far with reduced shares, there is a timeframe that passes where the schools eventually earn a full share. Is UConn worth an eventual full-share payout to the B1G? That is the better question.
