[B]CONNECTICUT GOVERNOR NED LAMONT[/B] wanted to spend a few minutes engaging with voters on Twitter earlier this summer, so he started a Q&A with the hashtag #AskNedAnything. Question: Will UConn join a Power 5 conference? For anyone who doesn't need to woo voters in the state, the answer seems obvious. In the playoff era, UConn is a woeful 21-76. The Huskies have exactly one win vs. an FBS opponent since 2017 (vs. equally awful UMass), and they last beat a Power 5 team nearly six years ago. Lamont was undaunted. The replies were predictably hilarious. The UConn jokes mostly write themselves. Since the program's high-water mark in 2010, when it won the Big East and played in the Fiesta Bowl, the Huskies have been a national laughingstock, and after canceling their entire 2020 campaign amid the COVID-19 pandemic, they [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32589454/uconn-football-collapse']withdrew from the American Athletic Conference[/URL] and opted for independence, just so their basketball programs could have a better home in the reconstituted Big East.
