Message: [QUOTE="BlueandOG, post: 4697232, member: 6207"] First of all, to quote the late great Colonel Sanders, "I'm too drunk to taste this chicken." I look at long-term and immediate value. UCONN will add immediate value due to our location and hoops pedigree (among everything else that makes UCONN great). The B12 is foregoing the opportunity for immediate value for long-term value. The long-term value comes from selecting the best partner school(s) to join UCONN in conference expansion. The uncertainty generated by the B12 considering expansion is an asset for the B12 because it gives them flexibility and leverage. The flexibility and leverage will give them an advantage in selecting the best schools for their future. It is better for the long-term plan for the B12 to get the best schools it can, including us, than the short term benefit of securing us now and figuring out the rest later. [/QUOTE]
