Message: [QUOTE="Sven23, post: 3100772, member: 9760"] Reality is UConn is not getting in a P5 for many reasons 1)UConn aren't good in fball. 2)Other G5's would are better not only on the field but have much better marketss..UCF, USF, etc.. ---P5's are about on field or if yo suck be in a big market like Rutgers. 3)College fball is not important to New England thus the lack of avid fan base. Even when they lucked up into a major bowl the attendance for UConn was poor at home games and the bowl game attendance was abysmal...Nobody really cared. New Enlgand is more about pro football(Patriots, Giants, Jets) and in regards to collge sports the region cares about bball 1st, and probably hockey 2nd. 4)Fball facilities are not even close to on par to P5's [B]UConn admin needs to think about waving the white flag before they destroy what they have in bball,while chasing windmills.[/B] The next round of alignment will likely be mostly within the P5's poaching from each other. B10 wanted VA and UNC last time. SEC was lurking around ACC schools. B12 looking at UCF & USF potentially to open a new market, of course only if they get a conf network will it have a big pay off. Uconn is not even close to the top of that list of G5's, that list is UCF, USF, Memphis, Houston, Cincy, etc... [/QUOTE]
