From your lips to God's ears!Hearing this is as soon as 2024...might only be 1 season left in the BE

Neither of those math observations are valid.The math says 11 schools will have to catch up to UConn in M/W basketball and UConn will have to catch up to 11 schools in football. Neither will happen. Fools gold. But a fool and his money are soon parted.
Please tell me that you heard this right in between the rinse and the hot wax.Hearing this is as soon as 2024...might only be 1 season left in the BE. $40mm in the first couple years then goes to $50mm. Maybe we are getting $6mm now from the BE?
I imagine this means Seton Hall and St John's are also rivals. Is this what you are claiming?
????Not at all, are you really trying to argue that the UConn fanbase has disdain for Seton hall or.St John's in the same way it does for BC or Providence?

I'd argue there's more disdain for St. John's than there ever was for either PC or BC.
I actually consider St. John's to be the main team UConn fans have hated over the years.
Sure, it switched to Pitt at one point, but we stopped playing them.
The LSU Women are so far ahead of UConn. Mulkey created a Dream Team through the portal. South Carolina is better too. Best to set the bar low for UConn and hope for the best.I don't think so. If the women stay healthy they are arguably the best team in the country at worst they are second.

Well over 800 athletes in the AD. Wow.The Big East isn't going anywhere; besides, a number of confernces would not be a fit. Wha confernece is calling Marquette or Seton Hall?
Georgetown doesn't fit any conference model (30 sports, a third of its budget on men's basketball, vastly underspending in football)
I feel like this is the AAC move Part 2, except for just like 30 million more dollars.
Lol, um, disagree. If Connecticut remains healthy, they may be the most talented team in college basketball. The loss of 2022-2023 POY Boston is going to be huge for South Carolina. I agree somewhat regarding LSU. Mulkey is one of the best coaches in the game today, in my opinion, but putting together a lot of desperate pieces can be tough. We'll see.The LSU Women are so far ahead of UConn. Mulkey created a Dream Team through the portal. South Carolina is better too. Best to set the bar low for UConn and hope for the best.
No one cares about women’s basketball in conference realignment tho.Lol, um, disagree. If Connecticut remains healthy, they may be the most talented team in college basketball.

Yeah but the Red Sox and Cubs didn't win anything for generations while the Yankees and Cardinals were both winning boatloads of World Series.
The argument that Providence isn't a rival because UConn is the far superior program is stupid. UConn battled them over the years.
St. Johns? None of the original members are less of a rival. St. Johns was great when UConn stunk. St. Johns stunk when UConn was great. We never really had a period when both programs were strong. Even Seton Hall had some good teams after UConn rose up. PC is much more of a rival and is clearly the closest geographic team. They also won far more than they should have against us.????

They will say that for PR and likes, it doesn’t bring in money so they really don’t care.Among fans of men's basketball, very few do, however, Brett Yormark has specifically mentioned it as one of the Big 12 and, more importantly, one of our strengths.
Getting off track, but there is absolutely an asymmetry here.Yeah but the Red Sox and Cubs didn't win anything for generations while the Yankees and Cardinals were both winning boatloads of World Series.
