Conference Realignment: WAC/ASUN Football Only Conference

[Dizzy21]

No one really cares why you went to UConn, it has zero impact on UConn's rivalries. It all depends on who they actually play and how often they play.

With the exception of 2020, UConn plays UMass every year from 2018-2027. They don't play any other school that often. That's a rivalry.

To me, nothing is a rivalry without a good ConFlict trophy.

Funny how these things work. People want to view Syracuse or BC as a rival. Their fans don't even think about UConn football. We have a very long history with UMass and both play FBS. It's good border rival for us, that in time, casuals from both states may care about.

Wouldn’t mind a trophy made

Should a musket or an homage to the old Yankee conference.

I see this opinion all the time and it makes no sense at all. We play them every year as it is and they are in fact our football rivalry game. Why would being in a newly formed G5 football only conference with them be damaging?

Because we aspire for greater things. I'd rather target schools like Cuse, BC, and Rutgers for conference mates rather than UMASS. They are all terrible at football, but the former are associated with great conferences and schools. UMASS is not.

That said, I don't mind playing them and welcome a regional NE annual game. In an ideal world, UCONN/UMASS could be like Florida/FSU or Clemson/USC(e)

Wanting to be Conference mates is different than saying school X is a rival. Yeah I too would prefer to be in a conference with Rutgers over UMass lol.

Former YC rivals and current CAA members Maine-New Hampshire annual football game is the Battle for the Brice-Cowell Musket

What about a big golden I-91 sign?

I got it...the trophy is literally the notch. Who ever wins gets the notch. Most impactful rivalry in sports history. Play with people's lives.
