Sounds like he hasn’t seen anything other than consultant work…?
My point was our situation, in that regard, is very unique.Can't find any can you? 11 Nattys in WBB are great, so i don't want to turn this into crapping on that program but WBB hasn't mattered in conference realignment. UConn has a perception problem that they haven't invested in FB like in other sports. WE KNOW that's not true. The Rent and the practice facilities are great capital investments in the program. However this is how other people view the program in no small part because national talking heads like to say we "gave up on FB" when we left the AAC, which is a pile of crap.
Probably not, but probably closer than most think. Geno is known in pockets of Europe and Asia. The nation's best college football coach probably isn't a big deal in Rome.That’s probably not true.
When Rome becomes part of the viewing audience that can help generate revenue I'll be impressed with that (I'll wager heavily that I know Rome better than all but perhaps one person on this board).Probably not, but probably closer than most think.

I get it. Its not the wrong move. I am just saying that when people use the lazy argument that UConn doesn't care about FB, 1 of the talking points is how we pay our WBB coach than our FB coaches. I'm not saying Geno is not worth it.My point was our situation, in that regard, is very unique.
WBB isn't much of a factor in realignment. In most cases, neither is MBB. This case may be the exception.
My next bet would be Az and UNLV.I’d lay money on UConn and Colorado. Just sayin.
Agreed. The UConn doesn't care about Football is as bad as the "UConn Fans didn't show up to the Fiesta Bowl" BS. Neither is true, but both persist.I get it. Its not the wrong move.

He knows that. It's also the reason why the PAC 12 is slow rolling the final deal. They want to freeze everyone in place.Bronze medal?? Would that imply better numbers than ACC or Big12? Because, sorry Pac10, without USC and UCLA, you aren't getting anywhere near the new Big12 numbers.
We saw how valuable the known brands are with the Big East name that has UConn basketball fans pretending it’s still 1998. If the league rebranded as the “Catholic 7” after they broke off, nobody would want to be in that conference. That’s why these conferences will never change names.Conferences should just give up on having numbers as part of their branding at this point
I'd love to know what we did to him. Is he that mad that we played Oklahoma in the fiesta bowl? I love how that gets held against us somehow. Like we forced our way into the game.Heard tramel on college sports radio today. Supposed talk about Gonzaga and UConn but only talked about UConn. Exaggerated the negatives and the positives about UConn were met with “yeah, but…”
We did nothing to him. He’s a Syracuse grad and doesn’t want us to be in a better position than his alma mater.I'd love to know what we did to him. Is he that mad that we played Oklahoma in the fiesta bowl? I love how that gets held against us somehow. Like we forced our way into the game.
Syracuse fans say we have nothing to offer a conference, so that makes a lot of sense. There’s always a good explanation.We did nothing to him. He’s a Syracuse grad and doesn’t want us to be in a better position than his alma mater.
I will, if you can find me one of the school that the women's basketball coach has won 11 national championships.Technically you would be right, by sheer number of scholarships. But find me 1 other school in the country where the women's BB coach makes more than the FB coach.
