Message: [QUOTE="cabbie191, post: 2025913, member: 417"] I understand your point and don't disagree with it. To expand on my viewpoint: It's not that I think all of UConn sports program are full of angels and are beyond reproach, but Rutgers entered when they were mired (or about to be mired) in multiple scandals and when pretty much across the board, were not doing well athletically in major sports. Water over the dam but one can speculate that had Edsall stayed and we remained decently strong in football, how things might have turned out. I don't think we would have had the same woes as Rutgers and would have provided the B1G a good presence in the New York metro market. Not to mention that UConn has been improving its academic profile all along. The additional revenue that the B1G provides or any other major conference is important if UConn wants to continue to be relevant nationally, unless somehow the AAC ups its game in many sport and attracts more television support.
