Message: [QUOTE="hank970, post: 4080644, member: 6349"] Yeah, UConn needs to lower its admission standards for athletes. Like Yale, for instance? That excuse is getting pretty baggy -- a red herring for sure. Another fallacy is that going independent and playing P5 schools in body-bag games will somehow attract talent to Storrs. In what universe do kids want to play for a perennial loser? UConn's problem is that it's located in a part of the country with little homegrown talent -- a recruiting desert. Few people in New England care about college football, and more talented recruits from more fertile parts of the country are going to gravitate toward winning programs that will showcase their skills on a larger stage. UConn gets only leftovers. [/QUOTE]
