Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4652557, member: 1646"] UConn is a top basketball job right now. The Big East is part of that. There are two challenges keeping it from Top 5. First, we don't have unlimited funds at the university for coach and assistant salaries. A move to the Big 12 (or ACC) could significantly help with that. The other challenge is NIL. It's hard to know where we stand. Our competitors seem to think we have southern Connecticut fund managers throwing money around, but I've never seen evidence of that. A move to a P5 conference wouldn't change that as the university can't pay NIL. We should assume that our biggest donors and NIL contributors will be as split as this thread. UConn should be in touch with them about any move to get their temperature and pull all to the desired goal. [/QUOTE]
