Some well-meaning soul on Twitter recently floated the idea of bringing UConn back into the Big East, apparently in an attempt to ruin only one of the good and pure things this world has to offer. Here’s why that’s a bad idea.
- A double round robin is perfect. There is no chance that one team will gain an advantage by playing a weaker conference schedule or never having to visit the toughest arenas. Everyone visits everyone, everyone hosts everyone, everything is decided on the court.
- An 18-game conference schedule is ideal. This is already not a cake walk; Coach Mack has talked about how long it is until X gets a conference date off and how he’s giving rest days already.
