Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 545621, member: 833"] If the market is telling us the basketball program is worth more by itself than the football and basketball programs are worth combined, who am I to argue? I did say in that thread that it was worth keeping the football program independent for a few years to see how this round of realignment played out, but there was absolutely no reason to join the A12 and flush all 3 programs down the toilet, which is exactly what UConn did. Uconn has a window of about 24-36 months after which the entire athletic program is not worth enough to the Big 10 to warrant adding us. I think that window would have been at least 5 years in the C7 with football independence, because the basketball program could have remained a top program. [/QUOTE]
