Message: [QUOTE="jleves, post: 2154924, member: 757"] It's all about TV contracts, right? If that's the case we aren't going to change a huge number of TVs for football - maybe some amount in CT but not enough to make up for the slice of pie they have to give us. But when you're talking basketball, you are going to change a lot more TVs when it comes to UConn vs Cuse, Pitt, ND, Ville and even BC. That's where we pay back the smaller slice of pie for every other team. That and hopefully tourney shares once we are back on the national level. The women also add a lot more TVs than they cost from the women's side. It's a business and UConn simply has to provide a better value for being added than anyone else (while not dragging down conference credibility on an academic level). If the math works, we get an invite. If it doesn't, we don't. It's not any more complicated than that. [/QUOTE]
