"We (the Big East) got buried by the Committee last year that was clear once the Tournament started based on those results.
“I don’t know if we have a strong enough voice in that room, I don’t know who’s representing us in that room this year in the Big East. "
This has to Val's #1 focus now that the media deal is done. She needs to be all over this. The conference lost out on millions by only getting 3 teams invited. UConn carried the BE the last 2 years but the conference made $8 Million less from the tourney in 2024 than 2023. We badly need that revenue.
Despite UConn's dominance, the BE was 5th in NCAA revenue, $8-12 Million behind each of the 'P4' conferences. We made only $2M more than the Mountain West and Pac12.
