Message: [QUOTE="hank970, post: 5068112, member: 6349"] Of course, an extra $20 million would be nice, but that's not the way it works. It appears that, for now, the B12 might be interested in UConn for its basketball product and is willing to pay for that. It's less likely that it (or any conference) would shell out a full share of revenues up front with the hope that a prospective member might improve a diminished football product. Before UConn gets a full share, the B12 would want to see some evidence of sustained commitment to and improvement of Huskies football. If the B12 extends an invitation for UConn basketball to come aboard in 2026, then the football clock starts ticking down to 2031. Could UConn meet the challenge? It seems that at least a few B12 members have their doubts. To paraphrase JFK, a realistic B12 stance might be "Ask not what we can do for UConn; ask instead what UConn can do for us." [/QUOTE]
