Message: [QUOTE="diggerfoot, post: 5061964, member: 1673"] What I have yet to see mentioned, though perhaps I missed it, is that NIL has put the BE conference in a very competitive position because most of the schools can concentrate that money on basketball rather than the huge amount that would be required for football. The report was about men’s bb, but no doubt this also applies to women’s bb as well. Unlike most BE schools UConn does have football that requires NIL money, though not at the level of P4 schools, since we cannot yet recruit at that level. Still, as long as we have the same quality bb coaches and success in place we will continue to recruit well in basketball with NIL continuing the BE men’s success and improving the BE women’s success over time. So, the B12 would definitely help football, be a neutral move for basketball over time and be a bad move for the other sports outside football and basketball. This assumes current trends hold, but we know by now that everything could change by next month. [/QUOTE]
