This is EXCELLENT for UConn. There's no way this is bad for us.
Absolutely Butch...
Delaney had admiitted wanting to venture further in the eastern marletplace. This could bode well for us that UCONN, excepting this rebuilding year
has had the most national champs in the last 15 years-boding well for the B1G network. Yes, our product in football is down. Everyone knows it. Rutgers beating
Michigan and last year's fiasco at the Rent still, IMO reflects favorably on us.
Of course, we know football is the driving factor. But the B1G record in women's sports, i.e. national recognition, is abysmal. Adding UCONN woman to the B1G ten
adds eyeballs to the network, hence our positioning on SNY, HOME OF THE HUSKIES. Remember, you build a Company either from within or by acquisition.
Beating Michigan State at the Garden didn't hurt either. Neither does having a Michigan grad at the helm of the athletic department. Further, we have cracked top 20
as a state research university and, if you have followed, Dr. Herbst (recently took in her alumni gathering in Boston), we have a shot at moving into the top fifteen
in the country on our present path.
So, it is not one just item for inclusion. BUT having Rutgers beat Michigan, adds more fuel and helps UCONN when it comes to consideration given our recent successes
in beating Rutgers along.... with many other afroementioned attributes.
