Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2029652, member: 1131"] Yes, that got my attention also. I wonder if he was operating off of his experience for this year, about which he said that he needed 5 cell phones to take the calls of everyone who wanted to play UConn this year (figuring that this would be the "down year" when UConn would be beatable). But with the UConn rosters that are shaping up for the next couple of years, I think he will find it quite difficult to fill the current OOC schedule with quality opponents, never mind an additional 20 or so games in January and February when everyone else is playing conference schedules. Where is it written that WCBB has to have the same conference affiliations as all the other sports? Why not try to organize a "virtual conference" consisting of the teams that have a consensus pre-season ranking of 1 to 30 for the current year, and let them all play each other in round-robin style for their entire regular season schedule? And then maybe go back to their regular conferences for the conference tournaments? I would think that it would be great for attendance, since the fans of all of those teams would appreciate seeing a steady diet of quality opponents, without the blowouts against other schools whose administrations really don't care about WCBB. And since WCBB doesn't make a significant financial contribution, why should the current conferences care if this is done? [/QUOTE]
