[QUOTE="Carnac, post: 2031167, member: 5798"] Bigbird, [B]I was being cynical, and thinking like a coach. [/B]You're thinking like a AD. From a coach's perspective, I don't want my team to take a 40-50 point "ass-wuppin" in the days/weeks winding down to the post-season tournaments. I want to [U]build[/U] momentum going into March, preferably with a win streak. A huge point loss to anyone, is mentally deflating, and destroys any confidence that may have been built up to that point. THAT is where I was coming from with that observation. You know how effective a player that lacks confidence is. If I play UConn, I want it to be in November, so that I have plenty of time to BUILD on that loss. You want to get better and show improvement as the season moves along. There are lessons that can be learned from playing UConn. The team can see up close and personal what near perfection looks like, and the results from reaching and playing at the level UConn has attained. All of your points are valid. I can't argue with any of them from the point of view you're looking at it from. The added revenue from the bump in attendance cannot be ignored. The improvement in SOS cannot be argued. Being able to market that UConn is on your schedule could be a selling point for ticket sales and recruitment purposes. [B]BOTTOM LINE[/B]: Unless you're a top 10 program with top level talent that can keep the MOV respectable, you're going to get blown out. For the reasons you mentioned, I'd play them, [U]but not after the Christmas break[/U]. Like Geno breaks down freshmen early in the season, then builds them back up from mid January on, to get them ready for the post-season, is the same thing I'd try to do with my team. [/QUOTE]
