UConn is certainly a premium brand but it was always nice (pre-UConn) when media would call the BigEast the most stable conference in all of high major sports.

I hate this whole song and dance of are you leaving or not…what happens if uconn leaves…

It’s difficult to turn down a premium brand like UConn but I wish the league would just accept what they are and know what they’re not.

My advice is ignore the chatter, because it really doesn't matter. It will either happen or it won't.

(And even if Connecticut does, at some point, get an invite and gives notice to the conference, we won't leave for 27 1/2 months anyway. Nothing is going to change in the immediate future, so why worry about it?)

Funny. Conditions were not met under the Trump Administration. It didn’t stop Trump from withdrawing more troops down to 2500 during the last month of his term.

Esper memo warned conditions weren't met for withdrawal from Afghanistan

Then-Secretary of Defense Mark Esper sent a classified memo earlier this month to the White House asserting that it was the unanimous recommendation of the chain of command that the US not draw down its troop presence in Afghanistan any further until conditions were met, sources familiar with...

Biden owns the disastrous withdrawal. He has never taken accountability for anything. Bob Gates and his old boss were right. "Don't ever underestimate the ability of Joe to f things up"

Could someone please explain where is the leverage to get a better deal. Who is going to pay more? Do we go on strike? Just asking.

Yormark has a diverse background selling both media rights and sponsorship deals. He's made big deals with NASCAR, NBA and NFL and is banking on the fact that basketball rights will be very lucrative in 2031 when the current NCAA March Madness deal expires. Coincidentally that's also when the Big12 and Big East rights will also be open.

Yormark believes that March Madness will get a massive deal and whoever loses March Madness will need and pay for basketball programming. He's looking to make a huge football only deal and the first P4 Basketball only deal.

By the way, the latest BE deal was negotiated more by Fox than the BE. They made an initial agreement to allow Fox to seek a deal with other partners. Fox negotiated with CBS but eventually got a better deal with Peacock and TNT who are both thirsty for sports programming.

I think Harris is qualified from a resume perspective (DA, AG, Senator, VP). Certainly not anything else.

Definition of an empty suit.

Way to go guys. .... CONGRATS!!

Keep it up guys, rooting for you!

The BE will go thru this every year. Nothing new in this. When they leave, they’ll leave. Until that happens, UCONN is an asset to the league.

Give it a rest sorry I hit a sensitive nerve you just proved my point.If gold star families don’t matter more than politicians you like you are the guy who has a problem.Check please

GOP does not want to cut every govt program, just flat out lies and left wing talking points. Should each program be examined and reformed? Absolutely.
