While Geno putting down the Presidents club may be indicative of UConn's disconnect from the in crowd in conference realignment; he nevertheless made a good point. The Big East became the premiere basketball conference but never was more than a collection of mediocre football teams at best. A successful business needs to understand its core business, the Big East Presidents threw that out the window for the football money. It will be interesting net/net if that proves true. We lost money our most successful football season. ESPN may have net/net also miscalculated too; their basketball ratings may suffer long term with too many rivalaries broken up.

All these Presidents' schools other than UConn's are now earning a lot more money.

What was your point again?

 

[Chief00]

At the end of the day the money won't be what is advertised.

Huh?

The B1G already earns 10x what UConn is earning.

No, the idiots in Providence undervalued the football schools. If the HQ had been moved to New York very early on, this would have never happened.

Blaming the presidents is misguided.

You know the Big East has a winning all-time bowl record, right? Didn't Miami win a championship or two?

 

[Chief00]

Mostly meaningless bowls

Something attractive about the middle net... can't quite put my finger on it.
