Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 4617530, member: 44"] Disagree that the men’s program is somehow derivative of the women’s program and given the history of both. The men’s program was selling out well before Jim Calhoun got there. At the same time the woman’s program was playing before crowds of, maybe, 100 people. On the other hand, the 1995 women’s team generated a ton of goodwill for the University and arguably spurred the UConn 2000 funding, which was a big jumpstart for the University and its current form. There’s definitely synergy though of having to outstanding basketball programs at the same school. [/QUOTE]
