Message: [QUOTE="tzznandrew, post: 4016172, member: 168"] I've given you reasons, not simply said no. I'll add that they have [B][U][I]two[/I][/U][/B] more bowl wins in their [B][U][I]whole history[/I][/U][/B] than UConn... They have a .437 winning percentage in football. That's barely above UConn's .413...and if you just take away UConn's disastrous last two seasons, we have a better winning percentage than they do. Reasons to take them: [LIST] [*]AAU [*]Regional [*]There is a rival in conference [*]they are available [/LIST] Reasons not to take them: [LIST] [*]historically not good at football [*]small state [*]small fan base [*]already have a better school in the same state (so no new market) [*]not a national brand [*]no other major sports they are that good at [/LIST] I'm not seeing the benefit here. It would be reactionary and short sighted on the Big Ten's part to take them. [/QUOTE]
