UConn counting rings

I didn’t see this posted, forgive me it was…

Axe: While Syracuse counts ACC money, UConn wins another NCAA title. Who’s making out better?

Brent Axe writes about UConn's fifth national championship and how it has found a way around the narrative that football has to drive the bus in college sports.

Best line “It doesn’t change the fact that while Syracuse may be counting its ACC TV money, UConn is counting rings.”

This is all I thought about when I read the thread title:

In fairness, we were counting rings while Syracuse was counting its Big East TV money too.

Every basketball fan knows the truth, we all want to win

Pretending conference money is more important is both superficial and pretentious. The epitome of intellectual dishonesty

Then again, what are they supposed to talk about? Our achievements? C'mon man

“Resources are still important in the college sports landscape and being a member of the ACC will win out in playing the long game.”

How long does the long game have to be for ‘cuse? They barely have silver lined clouds on the horizon.

Oof. They do know that there are plenty of programs mired at the bottom of these big money conferences, don't they? I mean NC State has the same money and same number of titles. Cuse's lone title is just as far in the past from NC State's as Cuse's is to UConn's fifth title. 1983 - 2003 -2023.

So, congrats orange, you are NC State, except your signature coach is not nearly as well liked.

Money is nice. But it can't buy you rings.

For Syracuse, the long game keeps getting longer.

As a private school Syracuse isn’t propped up by taxpayer money so it’s true they couldn’t afford to join the BE like UConn. That’s just how the cookie crumbles.

NC State has 2 titles. They're a behemoth compared to that travesty of a program in southern Canada's wasteland.

Could be worse, they could be Boston College University.
