Message: [QUOTE="FriarJ, post: 4716451, member: 1304"] Basketball doesn’t matter. Not sure how many times you need to be hit over your head with that reality before it sinks in. What you are saying is just a bunch of made up nonsense of what you desire. UConn is quite literally one of the top 3-5 basketball properties in the country, you also have FB and a NY presence. You are appear to be willing to let the other B12 teams take a dump on your chest to let you join by taking a very reduced pay out (heck some of you are saying you would take a BB only invite just for the hope that someday they can crap on you), yet you are still here in the exact same place. Now you are trying to tell me that some of the BE’s hoops schools may move to the B12 because the B12 wants to dominate the world in all sports. Do you see how crazy what you are predicting is based upon the reality of the situation we have been hit in the face with dozens of times. Basketball doesn’t matter despite what some commissioner says. It’s all about actions and not a single action outside of two in all of conference realignment. The first action was the c7 splitting to save basketball. And UConn rejoining. Those were both done to save basketball. UConn has an albatross. The thought that the B12 Commissioner is just going to “take” what he wants is just damn stupid. He won’t be able to whip up enough money from the other conference schools to do it. Heck, he couldn’t even do it for you guys. Good grief wake up. [/QUOTE]
