Message: [QUOTE="hoopsfan22, post: 3009626, member: 9074"] Hartford is the 33rd largest media market in the country between Kansas City and Columbus OH. Yes, UConn's TV market is bigger than the one the mighty Ohio State Buckeyes are in. The Huskies have a bigger market than most P5 teams without even accounting for the fact that the part of the state where the most alumni live is in the New York market, and Storrs is a stone's throw from another top 10 market (Boston). P5 slots do not come available all that often because the conferences are pretty much maxed out with 12 or 14 teams most of which are boat anchors that were in the right place at the right time and grandfathered in. If conferences could just dump teams, I'm sure there is at least one P5 conference that would trade some of their current members for UConn tomorrow if it were possible. [/QUOTE]
