Message: [QUOTE="UCan3, post: 5278133, member: 11446"] I remember when we were originally jilted by the ACC and they rubbed it in our faces. I thought this would be the start of a slow steady slide for the UConn Athletics, especially w/ K Ollie, Paul Pascolini+ the AAC Days of half-full stadiums on the road, But fast forward to today where last Fall Syracuse called us their biggest Football game of the year - that was kind of their coach to say, even if it was only 1/4 true :) and we've been the top BB program 2 out of past 3 years. We pounded a depleted North Carolina in a bowl game which dominated a couple of news cylcles due to Belicheck's announcement. Another embarrassing loss for the ACC. As we know they have top football schools dying to get out of the conference. When you look at BC, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and other teams they took over us - look at how irrelevant they have become over the past 10 years. They simply don't move the needle on a national scale. I think the new narrative and the most accurate one is.... The ACC made a huge error in not selecting UConn which led to THEIR slow and steady decline as basketball conference. BC never brought northeast market and fizzled out once they joined. It was a management error by ACC that should be studies somewhere. What was it that they missed and how did it happen? [/QUOTE]
