Message: [QUOTE="sdhusky, post: 1031913, member: 2224"] A few months ago, I definitely got the feeling the typical B1G fan could care less about UCONN. However, I think the 4th National Championship has changed things. Maybe only temporarily? Newspapers all over B1G country (from nebraska to MI to Toledo to NJ) have written articles about UCONN with many of them asking if the B1G made mistake choosing RU instead of UCONN. I agree that women's BB doesn't move the dial financially but it does get viewers. UCONN women's most watched game had just a fraction below the number of viewers Duke vs. SU (2.8 vs a 2.9 rating). CR isn't a cold mathematical financial analysis. Look at the cocktails and dinner that preceded TCU's invite to the B1G12. Father Leahy is still claiming the move to the ACC was academics. UCONN does have hockey and elite BB programming for the BTN. [/QUOTE]
