AP Story about Diaco Meet and Greet in NYC that's being picked up nationally. A nice take on our upswing in football and conference realignment.
This link from San Diego tribune:
Diaco fires up UConn's NYC base with promise of progress
Some excerpts:
"We're going to knock 'em over. We're going to run 'em over," Diaco said and the crowd responded with a UConn! Huskies!" cheer.
UConn's had great men's and women's basketball success, but it was football driving realignment.
Now the Big 12 is pondering expansion. While UConn would be an odd fit geographically for the Texas-centric conference, its academic profile, generally strong statewide support and proximity to the biggest media market in the country makes the school a viable candidate for the Big 12.
