I don't believe that ND should back down from the challenge

that UConn represents. And to do it just to screw over the Huskies sounds like a horrible reason. What terrible karma!

UConn fans travel well and really care about their team and WBB in general. Why destroy their fanbase (as if we could anyway)? If Muffet chose that route and a few other top programs followed her lead, there would always other teams that would not ostracize Geno and he would always have a challenging OOC schedule. And then we would have lost a great challenge that the whole sport looks forward to for no reason other than personal spite. That would diminish our program in my eyes. I love that Muffet has never backed down from Geno. Her team has never feared the name on the jersey (like most top programs) because of Muffet's unflinching demeanor. To shrink away from a challenge now would be the wrong thing to do on so many levels.
