Well... since I was replying to the ideas that:

A.  UConn is a candidate for the Big 10 (I don't believe that they are in any way shape or form)
B.  There is any impact to BTN revenue driven by women's basketball (it's similar to the impact of bottle deposits on your household revenues)
C.  UConn won't be harmed by being in the AAC (Check in next February)
D.  Schools like UNC are ever leaving their league

I wouldn't say people were agreeing with me.

I also don't believe that Herbst and/or Warde have any additional insight.   What option does Herbst have?  Say she gives up?  She'd be run out of town by the end of the day.

You want in the Big 10? Figure out how you create enough revenue for the league to make a legitimate impact on what the other schools get.  To even generate an incremental $1MM per school, you've got to be worth at least 50MM to the league annually.  You'll also need a 2nd school that is available that can generate that revenue - and the schools still have to agree it's worth playing Michigan, Ohio State, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Michigan State a little bit less often because you'll be on their schedule.

Delany has made it quite clear it's not about what the Big 10 can do for you, it's what can you do for the Big 10.
