UConn is so good we've rendered the silly concept of blue bloods irrelevant especially if it doesn't include the Huskies.

The term blue blood comes from stodgy aging out of existence inbred nobility. Yet by dubbing someone blue blood in college hoops it was agreed that from some random point in time a number of so-called storied programs existed and importantly the club can never be breached bc one cannot change one's blood.

Or if you beat/kill the king and start a new monarchy then its new blood. This is one interpretation of what our Huskies have done, vanquishing the achievements of Indiana, Dook and Kansas and equalizing UNC's.

OR one can win championship after championship and surpass the criteria that qualified teams for the manufactured construct and the silly blue blood concept fades from relevance. That's what's happening. UConn has set a new standard.

If someone asks is UConn a blue blood, the answer is UConn killed off the monarchy.
