Message: [QUOTE="broooce, post: 4342491, member: 9941"] Hartford-New Haven DMA is 32nd in the USA, ahead of most BIG markets. Cable/streaming makes the DMA's moot as these contracts are all about national following. And if we're talking about bad football then would BIG jettison some teams on that alone? I don't think so - remember when Northwestern was considered the worst football team in the country in the 70's and 80's, even worse than Ivy League? Joining a conference like BIG results in a revenue stream that allows members to invest in its infrastructure and become better, that is, if it has effective leadership to get there. Read my other posts about the next three largest revenue producing sports after football and how UConn fits the bill. IMO UConn leadership needs to become aggressive in promoting all its great qualities and change the narrative about its credentials as a future BIG member, or it'll be left standing when this round of musical chairs ends.
