BTW, UConn is a damn good school too!

I think the mistake was not doing a hard legislative press to get UConn to AAU status, you get that and the "football" problem goes away.

Why do you say this? It's not AAU keeping us out.

Kinda, indirectly. The conferences we'd like UConn to get into have schools that are objecting to our joining, and several/many of those schools are part of the AAU. So by extension, not only are they blocking us during CR, but they are also saying No, Nein, Nyet to us to join the AAU while opening the door for lesser (why yes I'm biased) ranked schools.

Correct. It’s eyeballs (the lack thereof) watching a moribund football team on TV),

I think if we were in the AAU we'd be in. It's all about perception and perceived intent. UConn is not perceived as trying to participate. We know that's not true, but that is the view.

If we were AAU, where would we be now? Please tell me the point where no AAU kept us out.

Something that came up on my LinkedIn profile, 142 years ago on this day UConn (then the Stores Agricultural School) had its first classes. Happy Anniversary/Birthday UConn!!!
