Swofford and Tobacco Road are FOR UConn in the ACC.
It's clear what's happening here: you have a political ax to grind.
I've never hid the fact that I don't like Blumenthal. I'm pretty sure you are not a CT resident. I am, and I'm business owner. A small business owner. The politics of this state are a frigging disaster, unless you think that a welfare state, is the way to be. Blumenthal, Malloy.....ugh.
Unfortunately, there are hundreds and hundreds of thousands of voters, in the urban centers of this state, that are going to continue to vote, the way they do, things won't change, until the people that actually pay the bills with their taxes - decide they don't want to do that. But when the state government keeps catering to big business, well whatever - I could tell you things about how things operate in CT that would make your head spin like Linda Blair, and it's all business as usual. CL&P, the largest power provider - highest electricity rates in the country other than Hawaii - an island which is in the middle of the pacific ocean? Blumenthal is part of that too, and claimed that he did something good, and the government handout sheep all bought the lines it too.
So yes - it become a political thing for me - discussion of where UCONN is at now, in relation to the ACC, because politics is HUGE part of why we are where we are now.
We simply disagree. I think legal actions taken about 10 years ago now, and filed paperwork in the judicial systems, and the politics aroudn it, is a major factor as to why UCONN was left out of the major football revenue sharing conferences in the past 2-3 years of movement as people of power in the intercollegiate world went about their business of voting for what major state flagship universities and state run universities would be moving around the chess board.
