You're not biased in this statement. You're 100% correct.

Losing Cincy would have been 10 times worse for the conference than losing UConn.

UConn FB actually detracted from the conference since 2015, and the only reason why they became "elite" in MBB was because they repeatedly and wantonly violated the NCAA recruiting rules, until they got caught.

Let's be fair, though. UConn is a modern basketball blue-blood.

You've made it clear that it doesn't matter a whit to you that UConn only achieved their so-called "blueblood" status by cheating.

That's your view, and you're entitled to your opinion, but if schools are just going to get away with cheating, and are still going to be considered admirable "blue bloods," then college sports is not worth watching, in my view.

My beliefs are that all the schools cheat at some point and time whether its football or bb and even the non revenue sports to a lessor degree, maybe. The schools that keep getting caught are just bad at cheating.
