Yale boasts 27 FB titles.
While your reply is humorous and makes a slight point, it's incredibly devoid of critical thinking.
Btw, I've been a big proponent of UConn to the BIG, but as a full member. I have counter-argued every naysaying BIG fan opposed to UConn in the BIG for well over a year on various boards. I've given well documented reasons for UConn in the BIG, to me it's a no-brainer. I've even written official letters to BIG offices, various administrators, for UConn's inclusion in the BIG.
Yale doesn't even play FBS football anymore and their NCs are ancient. The game changer in football, Black Americans, were hardly playing football during Yale's heyday.
To your humorous / slight point, many things here: CF doesn't have a truer format NC process like college hockey. In fact, even the current playoff format is filled with holes.
Since 1948, the first year of official NCAA hockey championships, so-called BIG programs, albeit under non-BIG conference arrangements, have won at least 1 NC per decade. Even since 2000, 3 different programs have accounted for 4 NCs and 3 runners up.
BIG hockey is new & with its formation comes very challenging logistics and expenses. Its down cycle is by no means permanent, way too much tradition and the availability of in-state talent in states like Michigan, Minnesota & to a smaller degree Pa & Wi are constant realities. I mean good Lord, Minnesota has an embarrassment of riches when it comes to hockey talent & these kids, unlike east coast kids, go everywhere to play.
My discontent with BIG hockey is much like the death of the original Big East. It continues to be a terrible, bitter pill to swallow: the seismic destruction & partial renewal of the WCHA, especially, and CCHA - it was not a carefully considered decision. But worse, ice hockey doesn't have the popularity and influence of men's basketball, so the negatives of BIG hockey at the expense of the WCHA and CCHA gets far less media exposure and public debate.
Got nothing but kindness for you man or woman - have to be PC here.
