Huh...so the Big East says it's all about basketball and we can put all of our eggs in that one basket...

That could put the Huskies in a position of acknowledging that football will never be at the higher levels of the sport.

Why do I say that ?  Because if the Big East is pouring all assets into their "singular sport", UConn will have to play their competion's game and match them in basketball NIL-schollies.  Leaving less for football without major new infusions of $$.   And less for football will weaken the program.

And UConn's baseball is beyond just Big East in importance...to play at a national level (win supers and go to the CWS), the Huskies must be able to compete with the schools implementing full scholarship levels and NIL...more infusions of $$ needed.

What is great for the Big East could end up cementing UConn as not just a basketball first school but a fellow Big East "basketball only" school.

A split...football and basketball schools ?
