Message: [QUOTE="Husky25, post: 838694, member: 2839"] But I wasn't. I commented on why live sporting events are largely DVR-proof. If UConn gets an invite to the Big Ten (I think they will, but not in the immediate future. And no, I have nothing concrete. I can only back up my view with circumstantial conjecture and unsubstantiated innuendo), they will have to demonstrate an increased endowment and AAU status, as well as success on the field, court, and ice. I believe UConn has been left on the vine for three reasons. 1) Bad timing (of sanctions and 3 lost years of football); 2) Both the Big Ten and ACC are waiting to see the effects the of Rutgers has on the BTN in NYC; and 3) Besides their football perception, there were rumors that Louisville was being courted by the Big 12 as well. Louisville was in demand. There was not such demand for UConn. [/QUOTE]
