I find it mind-boggling the NCAA thinks the Maya Moore visit to ESPN is an "extra benefit' considering it isn't very difficult to get a tour of the facility. And it isn't a tour that blows you away. You walk around the studio, watch ESPN news behind a glass window for a bit, take a look at their tape library and go home. Her interest in becoming a Communications major was one of the reason's she wanted the tour. But what if a tour was arranged at the Hartford Courant or another local paper? If Uconn arranged that tour, it would have to be considered an "extra benefit" as well based on the NCAA definition. But you wouldn't have heard boo about it because it’s just a local paper.

Also, the Geno paranoia from some of you comes across as quite pathetic. And the statements made without supporting links or quotes is amusing, especially the poster who said "Uconn's recruitment of Della Donne was dirty". No facts. UT has always had an excellent program which continues today so the mudslinging regarding Geno looks desperate. And for those who say Geno should be the one to explain why the regular season game between UT and UC was cancelled, I ask why? Neither he nor Uconn decided to stop the game. Pat Summit and UT did. It's up to your team to answer those questions.

UConn has had zero NCAA rules violations in the past. Both the men's and women's programs have been clean on the infraction side, and less so on the character side (ie., men's). BTW, someone mentioned Geno's "3 or 4 titles" which actually is 5 and accomplished in 11 less years of coaching than Summit. My guess is with Moore and Delle Donne playing together for the next 3 years (unless they leave early) and the departure of Candace Parker (who I think is the best player in the history of women's bball) I suspect that Uconn will add to that total.

Finally, Uconn fans don't hate UT. We do of course, enjoy 13 wins over the UT program vs only 9 defeats. However, the venomous tone of the messages directed toward Uconn, their coach and players on this board makes me think it's the other way around.

On Lady Vols struggle early, able to pull away later
