One interesting advantage UConn will have in this era is NIL

They do not care one iota about their football program (that has only even existed for a few years). They will be able to funnel virtually all of their NIL pool into the basketball program. Granted, their football program also doesn't bring in much revenue. However, when your wealthy boosters/donors only have to really give their money to fund one sport (that requires a lot less money to fund), that can be a huge advantage for them.

The solace I took from UCONN tonight was: We made the final four in Basketball and could be back as soon as next year, while they will never sniff the CFB playoff, 12/16 teams or not.

But they’ll get squeezed out even more when the SEC/Big 10 become the super conference in the coming years.

I bet their fans are devastated about this tonight.

UCONN went to the Fiesta Bowl like 10 years ago with 4 losses, because the Big East was trash. If there was a 16-team playoff, they might have gotten in. They got spanked by whoever they played (I don't remember).

Since you are new to this… it’s all downhill from here…

Remember a few years ago when Alabama dominated football by being one of the few schools paying players? Now that everyone can do it, their coach retired, and their fans are whiny bitches. Suck it up, buttercup.

Such a loser excuse.
Why doesn't your school have the highest paid coach, and highest paid coaching staff in football? Why do you not have the nicest and biggest stadium? Why do you not have the highest quality facilities?
All of those are things your school has been able to spend money on for 100 years, but you don't. Alabama does.
Alabama spends over $10 million a year on their HC, picking the best coaches possible. Arkansas goes and hires an OL coach for less than $3 million.
So here you are complaining about paying for recruits, but what the frick does your school even have to offer over the top schools you claim cheat? NOT A DAMN THING.
The fact of the matter is the rich are just going to get richer as you've just introduced new ways for people to spend money. Turns out, it doesn't matter how much money you have, it's a matter of how much you are willing to spend. And Arkansas gets what they pay for.

And that's why there should never, ever, ever, be a guaranteed playoff spot for shite conference winners.
