Message: [QUOTE="Hallfan, post: 3296384, member: 9967"] I totally disagree. UConn is great news for the BE. An 11th team needed to be added, what school would have been a better choice? If we isolate only geography, UConn is the best choice. If we isolate historic rivalries, UConn is the best choice. Etc, The BE’s strategic goal is to once again be the premier hoops conference and the addition of UConn is wholly consistent with that goal. The BET would be sold out each year with or without UConn but imagine how hot tickets will be beginning in 2021? This will make the already best conference tournament even more exciting. UConn benefits from its return and so does the BE. It is foolish for either side to state otherwise. I have no doubt that UConn will regain its status as an elite hoops program, helped by its conference affiliation, and this will lift all boats in the BE. Welcome back! [/QUOTE]
