That Courant presentation just ignored football. Can't do that. Better to address it.I just want someone to say it: The football program went to a BCS bowl, won a share of a BCS conference twice, defeated ND, South Carolina, Baylor, and others in less than 10 years. All of this despite having a bottom two recruiting class each year in the Big East, and having to compete with BCS schools in "better" conferences for recruits locally. How about suggest the Big 12 look at what UConn can accomplish on a level playing field? We can provide some basketball trophies as exhibits a,b,c, and d as evidence.
Whether it was the university that made this for the B12 or it was our state's primary publication which is supposed to be lobbying in our corner, this is just embarrassing.Yup, guys. That was clearly our pitch video. Complete with the first slide telling the Big 12 that they are looking to add members and the second slide letting them know which prestigious teams play in their league. Nothing gets by you guys. UConn shoulda done a better job disguising their video as a video made by a $12-an-hour Hartford Courant intern.
