Conf USA in Talks with UConn, Liberty, NMSU

Recruiting will suffer. Attendance will suffer, which given the last few years would be remarkable.

if they want to start down the path of eliminating football, and making Rentschler field a white elephant, then by all means do this.
 
Somebody reached out. ADDave took the call. He said, hmm, we’ll get back to you. That’s what this amounted to.

We have some of these teams on future schedules, so we can’t just ignore them. Even if we didn’t, it is in our interest to have multiple programs available for scheduling purposes. It might in fact be useful to have some form of scheduling alliance with some of them, especially if they have only 6-7 conference games. Makes our scheduling easier and makes there’s easier too.
Other than a few contracted games with FIU, UConn has absolutely zero games scheduled with any other school currently committed to stay in the unstable CUSA. Politely accepting a call from the CUSA conference makes sense to avoid ruffling feathers with current CUSA schools. As much as future UConn schedules are filling up, who knows what happens due to multiple conference realignments. Favorable relations with current CUSA members may help plug future UConn schedule holes.
 
Nothing wrong with listening to what they have to say. They do have a bag of exit fee money to offer.

If it were a shorter conference schedule, say 7 conference games, we would still have 5 games to schedule P5 schools.

First Connecticut did everything they could to lose the Whalers and got played by Robert Kraft ( Patriots ) into thinking that they would relocate to Hartford so he could get a better deal from Massachusetts and now while Cincinnati’s football team is going to the Big 12 UConn’ s football team is going to join the conference ( conference USA) that just lost 6 members to our old conference the AAC… See a pattern here… I do . While I still brag about being from Connecticut and UConn ( glad I’m not originally from my current state of Florida , red necks and all) Connecticut has always been small time when it’s comes to sports and casinos ( Steve Winn) and attractions that would make money for the state and give people things to do. And please don’t take credit for the 2 HOF UConn basketball coaches, ( Kevin Ollie, and the last 3 football coaches) Everyone gets lucky once in a while and catches lightning in a bottle). I feel for you guys , I really do. Just saying
This reads like a hostage video with a Syracuse fan pointing a gun at your head.

Good Lord could we really be that stupid? Please let me believe somebody with more than one working brain cell is up there in Storrs.

C-USA is a feeder conference for other conferences. I wonder how many teams have been inC-USA at one time or another. Somehow they keep surviving.

LMAO. Would you please list each and every "everyone" who has caught lightning in a bottle with 4 national basketball championships in the last 25 years? Or would it just be easier to admit you're an idiot who is full of crap? And I'm not even going to bother asking you to list all the "everyones" who have accomplished what we have on the women's side.
 
Case in point
You clearly haven’t been paying attention for the last 11 years. Every wrong decision that could be made has been made. So, I take nothing for granted.

We are an interesting fan base. 10 pages on this drivel. PTSD?

This is the only important comment in the thread. Proof that our fanbase consists of a group of middle school girls who can't help needing to worry about everything that someone else says.

Oh, for the good old days of the Cesspool, whose conversations looked good compared to this one.
 
I love it when people talk about their sports teams in the terms of we - Really?
And what field position or management position do these folks have on the team
I know that I do so on rare occasions but try not to do so - My father would always say - what position do you play?
Trivial, I know.
Next............................................................................
Really kinda irrelevant argument. LoL
 
I would not hate this move
When are people gonna realize that the building is empty, and the glory days are gone!! We will never see another Fiesta bowl, look back fondly at ND( 11 years this weekend) running on the field vs Pitt and WV and smile. It was a good run but the truth is we are nothing better than a FCS program
