I knew what he was saying. My point was and is football at this point, or ten years down the line simply is not ready to join Big time football. Whether it's big time football, together or separate from the NCAA, UCONN football does not position UCONN to join that shift.

I hate to say it, but if the future iteration of professional major college sports is to be joined by a powerful and select few by way of success on the football field, then accept it. Undoubtedly, this will lead to revenue generating athletic opportunities for those left out of that professional loop. I get the frustration. I would love to see us in the BIG. We'd maintain our status at MSG and the quality of hoops does nothing but benefit the program. But, its nuts to continue to say the ship has sailed for a P5 invite when we were never really in the running. We were never set up (not even in the mid 2000's) to pursue Big time football in a way that would assuage our fears of being left out.
