B1G Ramblings

An example of the linear thinking that has killed UConn athletics was the decision to stay in the AAC to collect a few million more in exit fees when the smart move would have been to leave with the Big East in 2012. UConn's basketball program would never have hit the decline it did in the mid-2010's, and the football program would have been better off independent than in that Deliverance Hell Hole of a conference we were in. We would have been invited to the Big 12 as full members when Texas and Oklahoma left.

The AAC fanboys only have themselves to blame for that one.
That’s a hindsight take…
was UConn even invited to join bb onlies?
hardly a crazy concept to join similar schools that played BB and FB, especially with UConn’s recent inclusion in BCS and efforts to get back there.
UConn could hardly compete in AAC as it struggled to keep up with coaching changes, funding for said coaches, and administrative support for FB. You think going Indy would have been successful?

Pssh, if you're going to victory lap on an LED board, at least pick a full sized one. Although, I'm sure this one seems big if you're coming from the Midwest.
