We need more options. They aren't dead to me but I would be no more willing to offer them a home and home than I would UMass or URI.

Agree with this. I'm surprised that people think UConn will be starving for OOC competition on a home-and-home basis. The CBS and ESPN deals require marquee matchups. Who else is going to provide them if not UConn? UConn is slated to be featured by those two networks.

Do you really want PC to be one of the featured games?

We should only take Providence's offer if we got no other choice. I would prefer we ink deals with more national names like UCLA, Stanford, Texas, Arizona and others before we look at Providence. We will need exposure on national TV and I doubt Providence game can give us that.
