Message: [QUOTE="WiseWillie, post: 5203239, member: 13141"] Just a wild thought. UConn basketball both men and women are now a national "brand" especially since 2-Fer and christening Storrs"The "Basketball Capital of the World". Why not "buy out" and split off from the BE and become independent? Sure, it will be difficult not belonging to a conference. How to schedule games when all of the other teams are tied down to conference schedules? Impossible? Teams would want to play UConn since we fill the venue no matter where we play. TV rights would surely be more lucrative than under the present arrangement assuming that UConn would be able to deal on a direct basis. Details. Details. OK, let's hear all of the "you don't know how the BE Conference is set up", "totally impossible", " no way", "can't be done" "that would be dumb" "we'd be tied up in court" etc. [/QUOTE]
