I know you can't go back 50 yrs and recreate wht HC had, times are different. But 25, 10 yrs ago, we controlled the decisions that brought the program to where it is today. Where would Uconn be if they chose the PL instead of the BE?
HC was above Uconn in the late 70's and 80's. You wouldn't want the success of Uconn? Where would the Womens program be if Rebecca Lobo and Kara Wolters Signed here instead of Uconn. Yes, both wanted to come to HC, but with No Schollies and the PL, they said No thanks. Ask Bill G. if the PL help land them.
So for those of you who don't think the PL has hurt HC, think of that the next time you watch UConn on TV. Think of the revenue and prestige HC would have had. Rebecca Lobo put the womens game on the map and she should have been in purple and white. Thanks PL..
