Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 4628588, member: 37"] It's simple. Any school in any power conference outside of the conference UConn happens to be in is a greater threat to UConn's chances of success than any school within that conference. UConn first. Conference mates second. Weakest outside conferences third. We're competing for eyeballs, revenue and best players. It's like fans forget our history. JC touted the BE to prospective recruits for a reason. Georgetown is currently doing the same. And I'll go one step further. Between our conference mates those geographically closer to us add more value to UConn if they are relevant than those geographically distant from us. Almost every great rivalry has two or more programs in proximity to one another. It increases casual fan excitement. [/QUOTE]
