Message: [QUOTE="junglehusky, post: 1325713, member: 61"] Okay, so I don't have any sources or quotes but I'm confident that part of the calculus was the private vs. state split. That was not because those schools felt religiously motivated to shun the wordly secular schools or whatever, but there was a clear deliniation between the two camps, and the presidents in their camp felt they were able to see eye to eye with each other and with everyone else less so. That plus Fox came along and offered them a proverbial bag of money. I don't claim to know what Fox wants to do. It's probably nothing for now and hope ratings improve. Maybe they'll reassess when the contract is up for renewal. But I don't imagine the coaches at Seton Hall, Providence etc. will relish having to recruit against UConn in their league, and having UConn use their league as a platform, in the same way BC / flipper felt.
