Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4759647, member: 1609"] I agree with everything except the potential of basketball to save UConn The fact that the D1 schools get 17% of the money they earn from the second best tournament in the world .is crazy to me . Just increasing that number to 50% ( not the 80% football gets ) UConn would have earned $30,000,000 for their conference this year . Spaced over 6 years . However a basketball team that averages 4 units a year is enriching its conference by $20,000,000 a year. Every P conference Would be a bidding war for top basketball schools with that simple adjustment . It’s not that BB isn’t valuable but the NCAA devalues it on purpose . That effects zero championships events or administration cost only the cash distribution to member schools by that body . Why the P conferences the Big East A10 WCC MW AAC MVC CUSA aren’t pushing the reform is baffling as there future is at stake [/QUOTE]
