Message: [QUOTE="UConnDan97, post: 1325769, member: 2305"] The differences between private and public, Catholic and secular, football and non-football, were [I][B]ONLY[/B][/I] issues when the old Big East advantages for the C7 dried up. When they were looking at approximately 10 - 12 million dollar tv contract with the old Big East prior to Cuse, Pitt, Rutgers, WVU, and the Ville splitting town, [I][B]nobody cared a rat's patootie[/B][/I] about public versus private. They cared about a large tv contract and crazy amounts of NCAA tourney credit payments. The nano-second that the aforementioned reality fell apart, they started to talk about [I]"like-minded universities". [/I]Money first, brethren second. UConn would get them more money, ergo,[I] they would include us as part of their brethren..[/I]. ;) [/QUOTE]
