Message: [QUOTE="KnightBridgeAZ, post: 3885061, member: 591"] Just to summarize (from my point of view) - of course this is based on the current "program" under Geno - - Those who suggest UConn would dominate in any conference are correct. Some games would be more competitive, and I doubt UConn would go undefeated for 7 seasons. I'm pretty sure some of those seasons UConn would be undefeated. - It probably isn't likely that the BE is going to get much more competitive. Some of the teams have had success in the past, many not consistently. DePaul, and arguably Marquette, were good before they were in the BE. But the problem is facilities and money, particularly without football income. And it is unfair to compare women's facilities and men's facilities at many of the schools. - But the truth is that this doesn't seem to matter all that much to UConn in terms of success. I get the argument that the more one-sided games do not help to prepare the UConn team for postseason, but as others have noted Geno does a good job of scheduling a strong out-of-conference schedule to balance this. - The one disadvantage of the Big East is the lack of money that would be generated by football. That is the biggest advantage of a P5 conference. [/QUOTE]
