Message: [QUOTE="huskyd, post: 3198178, member: 6488"] I share the feeling that whatever is best for UConn's women's team is good. Football has not been much celebrated by the Huskies; it has been a second-tier program. But lacking a really good football team can affect recruiting for other sports. The total sports atmosphere at other schools--ND, Baylor, Oregon, etc.--appeals to many as requisites for an exciting college experience. W/out the bustle of fall football, something is missing. For some recruits, this is probably a consideration. I'm sure this supposition is not quantified, but if you're from Texas, for example, and you don't go to a school with a football tradition, you are likely to feel that something essential is absent.
