My first view was UNION COLLEGE in Schenectady. My professor dad took me when there were no women students on campus; and pageantry, mascots, traditions ... and male cheerleaders + mud was a big thrill from my first viewing. We can still be a solid cfb program at UCONN and we still have little in common with Alabama; we don't recruit against them; we don't normally work with them on Wall Street or in the accounting/engineering/investment firms of New England; we aren't neighbors - until some of us retreat to Florida. We are now as separate as we are to the NFL. When I first saw Homer Jones, I knew he had nothing in common with the Union Dutchmen of my 5 year old eyes. David Benedict has proven the value of Independent life. Our distress as the B12 implodes is virtually non-existent. We understand how Tulane feels; we feel the yearning of UCF and Cincinnati. We probably will get to play Temple and Navy more; a net benefit to our Program. I think the SEC sees more money. I think they are gonna lose a chunk of the country as this moves along. Particularly if NIL becomes a recruiting nightmare of corruption. [/QUOTE]
