I held out as long as I could as a UConn basketball obsessed Big East fan but the courts and the power football conferences just keep making decisions which make staying in the Big East untenable for us. Anyone who doesn't see that at this point isn't paying any attention or they're okay with UConn basketball being awesome in the Big East for a few more years and then watching things go south.

We would simply have to drop football to remain at the top/ultra competitive in basketball and it would still become nearly impossible to keep up in basketball with the way things are changing. I never thought they would create a new tournament to try and replace the NCAA tournament but I put nothing past these people.  If they think they can squeeze more money out of doing their own tournament and keeping out the best basketball program of the past 30 years I wouldn't be surprised if they would eventually do it.

Basketball fans should be the most serious about this needing to happen.  We would all be despondent if UConn basketball was kicked to the curb and it would be devastating to the state.  Any chance of that happening no matter how small needs to be taken very seriously.
