Message: [QUOTE="JoePgh, post: 2029907, member: 1131"] I agree that UConn couldn't do it by itself. My point was: why can't a deal be made among the schools that are regularly Top 25 WCBB contenders to have all of them avoid their regular season conference schedule and instead play each other? Is Duke or Notre Dame going to miss playing Clemson? Is South Carolina, Tennessee, or Mississippi State going to miss playing Arkansas or Alabama? Every conference has bottom feeders that don't offer the elite teams in their conference any serious opposition. So why not form a WCBB-only "league" from among the elite teams in all conferences? I can't believe that there is any financial reason not to do this -- WCBB does not make a financial contribution to any conference, so there is no revenue to lose. And if attendance and TV ratings rise as a result of better games, there is a limited amount of money to be made. If that were done, then January and February could be spent by all of these elite programs playing in a "league of their own", with no detriment and possibly a modest financial benefit to their home conferences.
