Perhaps these are small steps or matters, but the local rivalries should spark interest, particularly if they are competitive. But in any event playing PC & URI can only be a plus for the Bears. The Connecticut little six doesn't sound like a whole lot, but it should generate a little buzz. If Columbia could get something going with Fordham & Manhattan it would help their program. (I suspect that St. John's wouldn't be interested; they'd lose at least one of the games & hurt their brand).
