Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 2048653, member: 5598"] UConn football is an epic disaster today but at the time of the last realignment it was a legitimate program. In 2007 UConn football went 9-4, won the Big East, went to bowl In 2008 UConn football went 8-5 , won its bowl game In 2009 UConn went 8-5, won it's bowl game against an SEC team In 2010 UConn went 8-5, won the Big East, played in a BCS bowl For those scoring at home that is 4 straight 8-5 or better seasons with 2 Big East titles and a BCS bowl appearance. But obviously UConn football was a "joke." Now and then are totally different animals. In 2011 UConn was passed over for Pitt/Syracuse in the ACC. In 2012 UConn was passed over for Louisville in the ACC. At the time of these decisions UConn was a competitive program. In fact, during the prime realignment years, UConn football outperformed Syracuse, Pittsburgh, Louisville and Rutgers but hey, don't let the facts get in the way of your insults. Not sure why you think there is no commitment to football. Perhaps you haven't seen the UConn facilities, stadium and new coaching hires. UConn has done itself no favors in football since 2012 but it is certainly not intentional. Granted we don't let our star running back use our co-eds as punching bags like Oklahoma but we are trying to improve. Btw you never explained Rutgers to the Big10? Didn't you state conference realignment was "obviously about real football programs"....the reason you can't explain it is because expansion was never about football and was always about money (there was/is just more money in football). And the money kingpin is ESPN. Bottom line is if ESPN was favoring UConn we would not be in the AAC today. [/QUOTE]
