I love things taken out of context to establish some ludicrous point not based in reality. Nevermind the fact that Arch had a top 30 team destined for the NCAA in the Covid year. Typical Vault though. High on conjecture and inferences, light on reality. Or more simply put “if you like me, I’ll writ...

I would argue the 19-20 season was his most important season in his career so far. He was coming off a bit of a disappointing 2nd season at IU with Romeo Langford ("only" getting a 1-seed in the NIT, again in year 2) and signee Trace Jackson-Davis coming in looking to get over the NCAAs hu...

Is it me or is "not additive to the league" a real slap in the face of the reigning champs? Goes to show the sorry state of their football program that the B12 schools think UConn, as a whole, isn't worthy of being in their conference.

CBS had a little spotlight on Bill during their podcast last Friday. I clipped it and sharing it here.

Beginning with the 2022-23 season, he still had $61.5 million left on his deal. It would be a steep buyout if Kentucky were to fire him....

Kyle, I never said the B12 was not the superior basketball conference, because I agree it is. My point has been solely on the intangibles.

TCU had 5 games on ESPN+. Texas Tech 4. Kansas St had 17 games on streaming service. 6 conference games. So a handful of conference games in a year where ESPN launched the B12 Now initiative so they loaded up the inventory. Let's see if it's as many going forward. I will also concede the point to y...

Games on ESPN/ESPN2 have more visibility. Not all B12 teams are Kansas getting all their games there. Just looked at Iowa St. They had 10 games streaming-only. Texas Tech 13 games streaming-only. TCU 14 games streaming-only. PC played 32 games last year (reg season). 16 were on FS1, 5 on Fox, 4 on ...

RhodyKyle

And that's where I'll disagree with you - intangibles. Playing several conference game within close driving distance, a conference tournament a short drive away, natural rivalries with many teams, etc. I think there is way more value in that than just being in a stronger, deeper conference. Obvious...

RhodyKyle

So if money/football did not matter in this argument, if you were UCONN would you leave the BE for the B12 for basketball? I word it that way because I agree UCONN would be stupid to leave the money on the table if actually offered. Money off the table? I leave anyway. Better teams, better visibili...

The reason to leave is the money. I agree the B12 is the better conference. However, since realignment the BE has more championships, and Villanova flourished into an elite program under Wright with 2 championships, an 3rd F4 appearance, and numerous 1-2 seeds. They've proven you can win in the BE,...

I can't imagine UConn would jump for the Big XII for several reasons. Money.
