Waiting For UConn To Make A Statement

The exit fees arent high enough. Anyway, I tend to think UConn basketball is going to suffer from this move, just as Syracuse, Louisville, et al. did when they joined the ACC.

However, if a couple of superconferences break with the NCAA, then the college basketball landscape will be radically altered and potentially destroyed forever. If UConn still stinks at football upon entering the Big 12, then they could once again be left out of the new superconferences.
Hope so.

Waiting For UConn To Make A Statement

Someone sent me this link along the lines of Uconn's importance to the league (Big East 2024 TV ratings across each game): https://lookerstudio.google.com/u/0/reporting/9815f157-ea60-478f-a481-2dc93fae6ca8/page/tWDGB.

I don't know how to digest all these numbers or what they mean in the grand scheme, but a few takeaways:

-Uconn was first in TV viewership by several million (17.3 million). Marquette the only other team that was close with approx. 15 million. After that you have Creighton, St. John's and Nova all in the 10m viewership range, in that order. No on else close to that 10 million mark in TV viewership, including us, Gtown, Providence etc. So there was a real drop off once you got past Uconn (king of the hill), Marquette, Creighton, St. John's and Nova.

-No coincidence, the common thread among the top 10 most watched games is either Uconn, Marquette or St. John's.

- The top 5 rated Fox games were the two times Uconn played Marquette and the 3 times they played St John's.

-Uconn is basically at the top of every most watched FS1, Fox and CBS game

- Our game v. Uconn was the second most watched Big East-related game on CBS, trailing only Uconn v. North Carolina, and slightly ahead of Creighton v. St. John's on CBS.

Healthcare costs rising

Here are a couple articles for you about Republicans coming after Michelle Obama.


You act like the Obama's gave into conservatives. If they did there wouldn't have been the Affordable Care Act. Since neither one of us were in the room, let's take our best guesses. The Obama's gave into conservatives or lobbyists?

The first article says she should practice what she preaches. Not saying it was a bad idea but don't be dining on ribs and mandating I need to eat berries. Very similar to Newsome going to out eat during covid, while his state is locked down. The second article you link the hit is on what it would costs and even says if it gets passed by the Republican House, it would probably fail with the Democratic Senate. She said we need to fight Congress, not the Republicans and not the Democrats. Then she stopped fighting. I wonder why? I think the links I posted answer why.
