Message: [QUOTE="npignatjr, post: 3493569, member: 812"] Answer paragraph by paragraph UConn is not a MCBB school only. There is no evidence to support the NBE will suddenly become a force in WCBB. Football has to be mentioned, there was a time not that long ago it was becoming relevant, 1 and 0 against ND, bad coaching choices stopped that. Going forward it will continue to be irrelevant and hemorrhage more money. The move in my opinion guarantees that. There was obvious improvement this year 3 separate schools were competitive into the 2nd half. That is a fact. Duffy is the new Marquette coach, the old one bailed on her alma mater to go to Penn State. Harry was a character. Maybe I am an optimist about the other AAC schools, there is more upside in those schools than NBE schools. I asked which NBE schools have new athletic facilities, that is a question in search of an answer. Seton Hall is a small campus set in an urban community, old gym, I don't believe they have the full athletic environment as UConn. Definitely not the black hole that Is football. What makes you optimistic that schools that before were never able to attract top 100 even recruiting classes will start now? I know it Is a done deal, nobody has ever come up with a compelling argument behind the change, if this was a move to the ACC, Big 10, even the A10 (there are some football teams there), OK I am not happy with paying millions of taxpayers money to get out. If I am generating a question, that means I am looking for an answer. Always open minded. For reference I am from NJ, went to Seton Hall games in Walsh and the garden. Graduated HS with and played basketball with 2 guys that played with scholarships at Seton Hall. Used to attend the real NIT games. I believe most people not welcoming my questions about the move are trying to relive to OBE. The new one in my opinion is just as sad, for WCBB, as the AAC, and for most sports a step back. I answer you because I actually value your thoughts and our banter. Be safe, be smart, keep calm, question authority. [/QUOTE]
