I appreciate that it's an exciting time for UConn athletics and we're representing really well...

... but until we can consistently fill our 40K football stadium we're going to be a hard sell to ACC/B1G.

NYC is missing the "real" BE bad and they are willing to pay to see basketball that is the same caliber as the old BET.

Per SeatGeek, Friday night's NCAA doubleheader has become most expensive ticket for a sporting event at MSG since at least 2009.

The Final Four venue will have 70,000 plus seats. It's a ridiculous comparison.

Fair point but it's hardly ridiculous. The closest gap recently was a 42 percent drop-off from the Final 4 tickets. This year the Final 4 is a 23% drop-off from the Sweet 16. That's astounding.
