Well, not really, but trying to keep the headline theme going. I didn't see this part of the Times' ESPN series posted or referenced.
Lots of references to Our Senator in this story posted Tuesday. I wonder if anyone on The Senator's large and vast staff has dared mention to him that there is a university in his state tied to all this.
I know Blumie gets a chunk of the blame for where UConn is sitting in CR (IMO too much blame). But don't you think at some point ESPN's people would go to Blumie's people and say "We know some people who can help UConn get into (name your favorite conference here). They might really be happy to help if you quietly withdrew support for this bill". Trust me, much sleazier stuff happens all the time when laws are made.
