[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1006905, member: 360"] This is actually a good debate to have for this moment. UConn just won back to back Natty's so they are they CBB standard...and rightly so. How long will that last given the shifting foundations of college sports in general? UConn has some BIG money boosters that support the men's and women's programs, but how long can it keep going? As we're seeing now, any success UConn has, "bigger" schools will come knocking on their door. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that UConn is considered a G5 program, and once SEC and B1G money REALLY starts kicking in, and the gap between SEC and B1G and rest of college becomes a chasm, how long can a school like UConn (which is well funded) continue to compete at the highest levels? Not just for coaches, but for players. I saw some tweets that makes the case that UConn very rightly should be considered a "blue blood" program, at least with respect to CBB: [MEDIA=twitter]1777539078004822095[/MEDIA] [MEDIA=twitter]1777622947676520522[/MEDIA] How long will that last given how much college sports will change over the next decade?
