Message: [QUOTE="Blue Idiaco, post: 4478036, member: 9046"] The Big East with UConn is a slow bleed to mediocrity. Without it? It is a mid-major that happens to have small schools in northeast media markets that the rest of the country cares less and less about every year. 1) the media/TV impact is less now; 2) the BE cannot compete with P5 schools on NIL and for coaches salaries; 3) the northeast is dying when it comes to supporting college sports in general; 4) If it wasn't for Jay Wright, the BE would already be there. He/villanova singlehandedly kept the conference relevant in the years UConn was gone. Uconn should and will leave at the first invite from the B10 (highly unlikely) or a watered down ACC after FSU/Clemson/UNC/ND leave, or the B12 (even less likely). [/QUOTE]
