I can't even comprehend what would compel someone to think that is insightful.

University of Louisville facing accreditation issues

Do you mean the Louisville Community College of Whores?? I doubt you mean U of L...

Oh, wait!! It is the same university...

 

[ZOOCONN]

This guy nailed it. I totally hate UConn. Nobody likes you!!!! You don't see everything through blue tinted glasses!

Maybe the problem is the fanbase is a bunch of betas who still think they are winning when they are three laps behind?

and you are the lone alpha that possess the all seeing eye and isn't blinded by bs.

get over yourself

 

[ZOOCONN]

I can't even comprehend what would compel someone to think that is insightful.

its as insightful as any garbage you bring here

 

[HuskyDogArt]

To be honest I always thought it was a branch campus of ITT Tech.

My friend graduated in Computer Science from ITT Tech... ITT Tech is better....

What did you run out of lame internet screenprints?

 

[CTBballfan243]

Let's all cry in our cereal because the B12 picked BYU and Cincinnati instead of UConn. When you grow up you'll realize there are a lot more important things in life than what conference UConn is in.

Thank God someone was there to tell us on a sports board that sports don't matter.

20 years after you graduate what matters is the incoming freshman SAT scores.

I hate this P5 crap. A commuter college is in the P5, and we are debating with a guy who thinks we can't make fun of them. They got lucky with the timing. They are in the P5. Good for them. At the end of the day, we are talking about colleges and sports. Academic reputation matters to most college graduates and presidents. The fact that ACC took them out of desperation is such a joke.

We got screwed with the conference realignment lottery so far, but it does not mean we can't make fun of them and the ACC. Someone needs to cut this P5 designation to pieces. In the future, I hope every college out there can sign their own media deals vs. these conferences acting like mafias.

The ACC will never invite us because of a BLOOMING IDIOT who was the AG and that the voters elected to be their Senator. Now he is trying to keep the NHL from coming backing to Hartford...

The idiot sued the ACC and I doubt - even if we have them 3 trillion dollars - they will never let us in...

Not to me as a 30 year old grad.

My undergraduate degree means little to nothing to me.

I want to win in sports and don't really have care to be honest where we head as a school if we're out of P5.

 

[MattMang23]

Is this earth? We just need to be proud of our teams at a lower level?

Things will be fine no matter what conference UConn is in?

What are we enjoying over Louisville? I must be missing it.

Stop it. You need to remember why UConn has teams. So the student athletes can have a nice social experience. This is supposed to be fun! Remember?!

Just last weekend you posted on the women's bball board you hoped we got in a major conference before Geno retires or else we could go the way of Louisiana Tech/Old Dominion. And now you condescend to people with legitimate worries on here about our athletic future outside the P5 because there are "more important things in life"? Lots of Bi-polar around here these days.

And for the record, I will in fact cry in my cereal if the Big 12 doesn't pick us.

Won't someone think of the women's basketball program

I usually try to pray daily at my temple here in Pyin. There is a mantra for souls so tortured they cannot find the door to go forward. Whaler, you are truly a tortured soul; right often enough but little seems to comfort you and you delight in poking virtually everyone else. I know this is only a sports board but wow, you're really unhappy here and I wonder why you stay? Not suggesting you go away but I honestly feel sad for you despite not knowing you and being 10,000 miles away.

 

[uconnbill]

You can make fun of them if you don't realize how stupid it makes you look.

It's like watching a bunch of losers sit in a computer lab playing dungeons and dragons claiming that the cheerleaders would be better off if they just got it.

Does anyone over the age of 28 have a job where anyone gives a crap where anyone went to school for any reason other than sports?

If you get past an entry level job has anyone ever asked where you went to school?

I think you need a Xanax and some time away from this board and breath while your at it

You feel sad for me because I think UConn's conference affiliation is more important than Louisville's accredition?

You don't have to worry about ol Whaler. If you were attending football and basketball games you might be more prone to an emotional response about where the programs are.

Thanks Billy - you aren't here either right? I apologize for being passionate I guess.

Maybe we'll all be better off when the rest of the college sports landscape has moved on without UConn and we lock horns with Rhode Island.

No UConn needs to be in a real conference playing big time schools whether it is the Big 12, Big 10 or the damn ACC. No more Yankee conference teams, please.

Just an FYI I am frustrated as well and think UConn and it's fanbase has been screwed over enough and it is about time something good happens for the school and its fanbase.

 

[CL82]

Yeah Louisville is totally going to lose their accrediation. Done deal. They will be kicked out of the ACC by Monday.

The ACC is totally going to regret invinting them. Wait, what's that? They have a TV deal through the 2030's?

They are totally kicking themselves. The checks will totally bounce.

Nah I totally agree. I mean ever college wants to have their accredidation questioned. That's what they all are shooting for.

 

[whaler11]

How exactly is Louisville's accredidation a matter of conference realignment?

How does it impact UConn?

Did you read the article?

The problem appears to be that a school ought to have the right to screw itself. Can't have outsiders stepping in to fix it.

We determined that there is evidence of significant accreditation-related issues," Belle Wheelan wrote in a letter to acting university President Neville Pinto this month, adding: "The potential for undue political influence in institutional governance appears to be present."

You know this to be true because...?

 

[SAMCRO]

I can't wait for the pre-season ''mathlete" rankings to come out... UConn will crush the
explicit formula for the Fibonacci Sequence.

UL is not losing their accreditation, UL is not getting booted from the ACC, and UL's academic profile is no better or worse before the article was written...and nor will it be better or worse because of or after.... and anyone who thinks the ACC really gives a damn about this.... you're kidding yourself. They don't. They got exactly what they wanted by inviting UL... solid sports with commitment to invest in athletics and win at all costs, southern roots appeased FSU, Clemson, UM, and GT, and ultimately got their TV deal. There's not a group of professors at Duke, UVa, BC, or UNC that are going to leave their current positions because they don't want to be associated with UL. The truth is none of the academia at ACC schools really consider UL to be a peer institution, and UL is fine with that.

I'm talking about the output not the input. And like I said if it makes you feel better than curl up with your degree - but why anyone who is an actual adult with a resume would care about that is lost on me. Enjoy though.

That's considered really old?? Wow...I guess I didn't realize how long it's been since that album came out....Getting old sucks

 

[Duncan Idaho]

I'm sure we all would be on these forums and holding season tickets if Maine and the like remained on the conference schedule for all sports.

Ah so is your new point is OP shouldn't have posted a thread about Louisville on the CR board or that we shouldn't post about other colleges at all?

Here's a thought, if you don't think it is relevant or interesting, maybe don't click on the clearly labeled thread? For that matter if you don't think the tweets in the non-key tweet thread are worth discussing, perhaps you can just avoid that thread as well?

Really Whaler, now that I think about it, it seems you feel the need to criticize or correct or advise on pretty much every post. If the notion that people on the board think about things in a different way than you do is so troubling to you, why don't you just set up your own board? Heck you could do it in Word, you wouldn't even have to be connected to the internet. While it would be tough for us to get by without your key insights (such as the tweets in the "non-key tweet" thread might be from credible sources) but I'm sure the rest of us just might muddle through... somehow.

 

[dwalks93]

At the risk of ruining the "Whaler versus the entire BY" thread this has become perhaps the Louisville story could positively effect UConn in future P5 expansion.

Several teams are marketing themselves to the Big12 using the Louisville model (yes, I am talking about you Houston and Memphis.) These are basically lower academic schools who parlay a couple successful seasons of football with a huge investment in athletic infrastructure and then plead their athletics will eventually bring up the academics. The Louisville story shows it is more likely the house of cards will collapse and a school will revert to its former status as a community college.

Personally I hope every Big12 President sees this story. There are only 3 legitimate academics brands available to the Big 12...UConn, BYU and Cincy. But BYU has issues due to its religious affiliation and Cincy academics are below UConn. The more the Big12 President weigh academics the more it helps UConn. Having a current potential loss of accreditation story in the back of the Big12 President's thoughts as they decide is not a bad thing.

Is it really that upsetting to you that someone doesn't agree with everything that is posted?

Are you really that much of a b!tch that you are still crying about non-key tweets? I'm starting to wonder if you are just flat stupid you are so wrong on that topic but won't let go.

No one forces you to read my posts so why don't you take your own advice mr internet police.
