I agree with you but considering how adamant many on this board are about the superiority of playing Big East opponents to, for example playing Bid Twelve opponents, I believe that there are quite a few on this board who are in no position to complain about the quality of a home schedule that features Providence, Seton Hall, Xavier, Butler, St John's et al in addition to the one day each winter that Villanova comes to town.

I realize that if we were to move to the B-12 there would be no assurances that we would then add quality non-conference home opponents to the games at Gampel and XL, one argument was that we didn't schedule PC when we were in the AAC (whin I personally believe adds validation to the argument that PC really is not that important to UConn), but, with the additional revenues (could reach up to four or five times BE revenue), the athletic department may find it easier to sacrifice an annual home game and schedule a home and home with a pretty decent name instead of two home games against reasonably local nobodies.
