Message: [QUOTE="pj, post: 1038078, member: 2524"] UConn is too big a market, too important a market, and too good an athletics program to be left on the sidelines. Antitrust law will play a role and apart from its positive value to both the ACC and B1G, UConn would have a strong antitrust case if it was left out of any P5 breakaway. It is far cheaper for the P5 to bring UConn into the tent than to let it go to a fight. It is more a question of when, how, and with whom it happens than whether. The conferences are like prizefighters in early rounds, feeling their way and developing a strategy. When they know how other players will jump, they'll take their best shot. Somebody's best shot will involve UConn. [/QUOTE]
