Message: [QUOTE="UConn Dan, post: 5077047, member: 2362"] That's a bit harsh. She was "smart" enough to support our addition and to get an extension on the MSG. The Big East with or without her is in the back nine. There's no turning this ship around without some sort of anti-trust lawsuit. The Power conference schools and FOX/ESPN have all the leverage. The Big East is a nice to have and not a need to have. She's in a double bind. Damned if she does, damned if she doesn't. Speak out against the Power structure and having teams left out of the NCAA tournament and risk sounding like a whiner and not earning any favors with the power brokers. For TV, we went to the open market and saw what the Big East was worth and what kind of visibility was offered. I don't think there's anything she or anyone else could do as a basketball only conference. What's your bright idea? [/QUOTE]
