Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 1050951, member: 652"] I am not sure, but the point is without NEEDING UConn the B1G/BTN was able to make deals with Cablevision and Time Warner the two biggest cable providers in NYC/NJ so why would the B1G want to add UConn and dilute its football even more and not need them to get on the basic tier in NYC? The only hope UConn had was that the cable providers in NYC would play hardball with the BTN and that the B1G would need another local team i.e. UConn to get the BTN on in NYC. Now that the 2nd biggest providers have agreed the rest should be a lot easier and UConn MAKES NO SENSE. They don't improve the B1G's football image and they don't add any more new markets other than CT which isn't going to add enough money to justify adding them. [/QUOTE]
