You do realize that football and basketball are two different things, right?

What in your above ramblings links losing to UConn in MSG (last year? ...the years blur) to potentially losing to them in football in the future?

While we’re at it, I fail to see what ND’s TV deal has to do with anything material and UConn-related.

And collegiate athletics are cyclical. Nova is doing better now than they did in the BIG EAST (versions 1, 2, or 3). There are ups and downs. Pretending like the BIG EAST is down for the count is stupid.

But to steer the conversation back to our friends in CT, UConn’s finances are a mess. Nobody is denying that. However, what on God’s green Earth makes you think they’re going to tank the one thing making them money? They can’t afford to screw up basketball - almost literally. But regardless and at the risk of sounding like a broken record, what does their basketball team’s success (or lack thereof) have to do with their football team’s inability to be competitive?

Also on that financial note from earlier, what does playing SU intermittently have to do w/ their deficit? I’m not sure how much you think our games are worth, but rest assured that playing us won’t solve their financial woes.

Lastly, to be clear, UConn is bad at football. UConn was bad at football. UConn will always be bad at football. Syracuse had/has/will have no appreciable impact on any of the last 3 statements.
