Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 3194525, member: 55"] Mason Feole is somewhat overoptimistic. Look, UConn baseball is the strongest program in the northeast, by a fairly solid amount, and the conference shift will not change that in the short term. And, one or two weekend road trips that can be made by bus rather than flying -- and more games your family can drive to to watch you play -- won't hurt. But in the long term, is reducing your strength of schedule a good thing when you want to be competitive on a national level? No, it's not. And I'm not sure there is much they can do to increase the strength of either their pre-conference games or their weekday afternoon games to make up for it. Baseball and football are the two program that will be hurt by this. Baseball not nearly as much as football, but still. All other programs will benefit, even if it's only by reducing travel. [/QUOTE]
