I think Uconn deserves to be in the B1G10 based on both athletics and more importantly academics.How about using your influence to get UConn into the B1G? Not trying to give you a hard time, just desperately hoping that the league will, sooner than later, see what it's missing.
I keep beating this drum............the B1G doesn't win anything of note very often and eventually will lose TV eyeballs as frustration with poor outcomes grows.
Football titles? In the last 25 years there was Ohio State in 2002 and 2014 plus Michigan in 2024. That's it. Hype beyond belief every year has resulted in them winning 12% of the last 25 titles.
Men's basketball? UConn has won six titles in the last 25 years, including five since a B1G team (MSU) last won one.
Women's basketball? UConn has won ten titles in the last 25 years and the B1G? Zero.
Those are the three highest profile sports and B1G teams have won 4 of 75 potential titles in the last 25 years.
If the league truly wants to be recognized as great they need to win something besides an occasional football championship.
Even the PAC12 had a plan to fill with SDSU. They just didn't expect everyone to leave. Same thing might happen here
I’m one of the more pessimistic guys here, but I don’t think UConn FB is “hopeless”. I think we can normally be 6-6, going to minor bowls about every other year. Maybe we can do better than that.
Really? It's like you don't know us at all anymore.
Anything more behind that than just informed speculation?
Nope.
Is he showing his recruits that he's a committed coach who loves UConn by removing any mention of them in his social media profiles? Just wondering because if I were a recruit.....I might be a little worried that the guy I'm commiting to won't be here.
If it's reported he has health issues and taking leave, my guess is he's going full Spanos and will not be coming back this season or beyond.
We are not getting into the B1G. Full stop. That is the pipe dream of pipe dreams.How about using your influence to get UConn into the B1G? Not trying to give you a hard time, just desperately hoping that the league will, sooner than later, see what it's missing.

Give me Cole Welliver for the ENTIRE SEASON. NEXT!!!!!!!!!!!
Riiight
We'll never get into the Big Ten or any other P# unless we support the FB program at the highest level possible. People sit up and take notice when you appreciably change your level of commitment. While you or I can do our best with NIL donations and going to games, The Governor, the President and the Board of Trustees are the ones who need to talk the talk and then walk the walk. Its a ten year commitment that may or may not pay off. If we have a 10 year lack of commitment, we know how that is going to turn out, possibly even sinking the Hoops programs.
