bErry is taking his medicine on that post
I have a feeling Tremel has never once been east of the Mississippi.Tremel is ridiculous. New England is a college football wasteland…who created thst?
Conference realignment destroyed northeast football. BC has floundered, as has Syracuse. That is not UConn’s fault. If uconn is in acc or big 12 they aren’t as bad as they were last 10 years. G5 football is a wasteland for New England because fans know good football, they will go watch FCS, and the local little ivies which play decent football.

I would tend to agree, since his parents had a hard time spelling Barry.I have a feeling Tremel can't spell Mississippi.

Near the end of the article he actually talks some sense:
"Some of the 2016 UConn allure remains.
"It’s always good to get a state’s flagship university. The more “University ofs”, the better. The Big 12 has lost OU, Texas, Missouri and Nebraska. But it added West Virginia and is getting back Colorado. If the Big 12 adds an Arizona or Utah (or, pray tell, Oregon or Washington), that flagship pedigree would get even stronger. Connecticut would add to that.
"Also, academically, Connecticut is quite strong, which doesn’t mean much but is a nice bonus. UConn is rated 67th nationally by U.S. News & World Report, one spot behind Texas A&M and one spot above Massachusetts.
"Connecticut’s population, 3.6 million, makes it the biggest state in the Union without a Power Five school. It’s still New England, a college football wasteland, but that’s a lot of people.
"Connecticut’s media market is a plus. Its long-time affiliation with ESPN wouldn’t hurt."
More like his parents expected him to become a dingleberry. And he didn't disappoint.I would tend to agree, since his parents had a hard time spelling Barry.
Wherever they go a GOR will be involved. They will string this out as long as possible for a B1G invite, or try to get the best deal they can with the least upheaval. Unfortunately the best deal is probably the Big12 with the most upheaval for the University.Is Oregon a legitimate possibility?
Hey man, don't bring us meds needers into this, sometimes people just are stupidWhatever meds they have you on,....
They aren't working.....
Kansas is better. Sorry.It's the old who needs another Kansas argument, when Kansas is the best thing going for the B12, and frankly we are better than Kansas. We do Kansas better than Kansas.
We won't disillusion him if you don't.Except the last sentence
Kansas is better. Sorry.
Automatic fail on his part. Long time affiliation with that network. They have done right by us over the years. Must be a long-time Tennessee woman’s hoops fanNear the end of the article he actually talks some sense:

Please share your thought process as most people try to do.Until things fully pan out in the PAC I see no more new news in adding UCONN.
The record says otherwise in BB. But we still like and respect you guys.Kansas is better. Sorry.
Will hit pause on this debate until after UConn to Big 12 is announcedKansas is better. Sorry.
Kansas is better. Sorry.
The guy (or gal) just proved they're legit.Kansas is better. Sorry.
Show your math. 5>4 isn’t convincing unless you think UCLA is the greatest program of all time. I certainly don’t. They had one great stretch.Please share your thought process as most people try to do.

I don’t think there’s any clear answers here. KU is 6th in titles, but first in all time wins. Unmatched consistency over time. Last time KU missed the tournament was 1989. Kentucky is 2nd in wins and titles, and probably Deserves bragging rights if anyone does. North Carolina is 3rd in wins and titles. Duke, UConn and IU with 5 but Duke dominates on wins at 4th. UConn is a distant 25th and IU 10th. But then you can factor in recency and how much happened since the expansion of the tournament, that helps UConn, hurts IU and UCLA.
For me the top 5 are UK, KU, UNC, Duke and UCLA. UConn probably sits at #6. Keep winning and that can change.
