Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 5271356, member: 1609"] If UConn cam be prime mover in a conference with almost exclusively small private schools whose Alumni base and ratings potentially are much than conferences made up of larger public’s with typically better exposure , and secure a contract that gets these schools $7,000,000 a year for primarily men’s basketball,, For a bonus add in a women’s program whose eyeballs rival most men’s teams that a 2 foe 1 deal . The case for undervaluation of UConn is simply smoke and mirrors - I omitted football because it’s impossible to model given our current situation no disrespect intended I think you can model a scenario where UConn basketball alone is equally valued to many of these alleged power conference schools . I know basketball is undervalued primarily because the NCAA historically viewed as their cash cow whose members were content with whatever they gave as a return on their effort . [/QUOTE]
