Watching the Womens BB game on CBS, the announcers said that Notre Dame want to continue the series with UConn in WBB, but UConn says there is no room in their future schedule (obviously there is). I understand that WBB is trivial in CR, but why burn bridges with a school like Notre Dame in anyway? Every ally you can have is important in conference realignment.
This same flawed strategy against BC saw them stick it to UConn when ACC expanded for the second time. Meanwhile Syracuse scheduled an end of season rivalry game with BC a few years back which for sure helped their standing in ACC expansion.
If UConn is smart we would start trying to build rivalries with RU, SU and anyone else that could be influential in CR, not scorning them.
