Perception ... it's a funny thing. Which perception mattered:
- That Louisville is a more successful athletic program or has better fan backing?
- Or that Louisville is more committed to sports as shown by Tom Jurich's aggressiveness and, in a perverse way, their lack of commitment to academics -- so all their money is invested in sports?
- That New Englanders don't care about football, as shown by the utter failure of Boston College to bring value to the ACC?
- That Connecticut loves basketball and so UConn's entry to the ACC would have strengthened the Tobacco Road bball contingent vs the Florida-Georgia-South Carolina football contingent ... and the ACC desperately needs FSU / Clemson / Ga Tech / Va Tech to stay on the ranch and so all the bargaining power is theirs right now?
Some of these perceptions are perceptions about UConn and can be altered by our actions ... but some are not.
Regardless, we have to do everything in our power to build up our program and its fan base.
