Message: [QUOTE="hardcorehusky, post: 2953238, member: 593"] UCONN's peer schools are not private Catholic Universities. They are public land grant schools with emphasis on research- which happen to reside in the Big Ten and ACC. In the last peer study I saw, we matched up with the University of Georgia. Unfortunately, we are in the athletic league which doesn't fit us academically(Tulane thinks the same way). Our choice is to work on making Frankenconference better in all areas or not. The realignment train is gone as we know it. Contraction will be the next wave after Texas and Oklahoma go to the Big Ten and if we build a proper conference(all the schools), then we will be able to pick up those that are contracted. (Or if the remains of the Big 12 break apart because the money loss will cause them to freak). [/QUOTE]
