Message: [QUOTE="JohnFSilver, post: 5071965, member: 1618"] You can’t firewall basketball. That is the point. Money from football is gonna pour in to basketball from other schools. Thst is going to create a competitive disadvantage for UConn if epic proportions, and, it also leaves UConn exposed as an athletic department. Right now, UConn has muscle because hoops wins. But, it has no say in what comes of the ncaa tourney or how the leagues will be set up and money distributed in the future. There is no guarantee the big east will be a major basketball power in the future. They have killed the conference twice 04 and 13…and will do it again if they can find a way. BTW. For the first time in realignment history college presidents decided not to listen to their marketing, financial analysis, and even espn but went with something else. UConn is always a first. [/QUOTE]
