Message: [QUOTE="B1GEast, post: 4613996, member: 39"] On the Rich Eisen show, Bilas mentioned that he heard from several ACC people that one of the main reasons that Uconn was not invited was because Uconn was perceived a team that would eventually become irrelevant once Calhoun retired. They didn't think the University would ever bounce back once he left and they didn't see a program with a foundation. How wrong were they? They added Pitt, BC, Cuse and Louisville all of which have faded into irrelevance, while we went on to win titles with three different coaches. None of those programs, besides Pitt, did anything on the football field. Uconn actually went to a BCS game. Honestly I don't care for the ACC as a conference, they are vulnerable if the SEC or B1G really wanted to help and ACC university cover the exit fee. Uconn has established itself as a brand that's greater than many other in P5 conferences. [/QUOTE]
