Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 5041146, member: 37"] It's a silly parameter and I knew it when I created the thread. So what. The more positive hype UConn gets from outside sources the greater the chance college sports fans will turn on UConn games. And Hurley is the perfect coach to create fans who will love or hate UConn. Why is this important. It's the Dukie V and ESPN phenomenon. Talk things up enough and people gravitate towards that thing. Viewership is paramount for monetary payout or invitation to conferences. Those of us who dismiss the women's program are missing out on an opportunity to promote the "Basketball Capital of the World" theme. It's counterproductive to be a mens fan and negatively speak about the women's program. Hold your nose but talk it up. All synergy is valuable. [/QUOTE]
