Ahhhh, I'm not sure that any UConn basketball coach, mens or womens, is the best place to go for an insightful analysis right now into what happened and why. UConn is the school that is really taking it in the shorts. Some would say "deservedly". And they are going to bitch the loudest and try to reflect as much blame as they can.
 
What's Geno talking about here? Is he saying that by failing to cooperate ("vote appropriately") the Catholic 7 killed the NBE or the NNBE? And having done that, the Catholic 7 should not now bug out just because they make more money doing it?
 
 
At any rate, I don't get the criticism. Staying at the table till the money runs out seems to me to be basic micro economics. Does he think the Catholic 7 ought to stay even though they'll make less money? And they should do that to help UConn?
 
There's really two questions here.
 
1. Who killed the NBE or the NNBE? How much of the blame do the Catholic 7 have? Geno seems to feel they shared some of the blame. How did the Catholic 7 votes on TV rights kill the conference. Is he talking about the ESPN offer to extend the contract?
 
2. Given the NNBE's composition, do the Catholic 7 owe it to the remaining members of the Big East to stay even though they "might" make more money in a new conference by adding a few more schools?
