I know this is stupid, but one last push to get us in the tourney...

[HuskyNationJE]

To all my Boneyarders,

I'm fairly new to the site, but about 4 months ago I started a petition to get UConn, as well as the other schools (so I wasn't just playing favorites) bans overturned to play this postseason. With all the chaos the NCAA is going through right now, I figured now more than ever, could be a good time to make one last push at it. I find it ridiculous still that we're sitting out for things from a couple of years ago, while other schools and players face recruiting, academic and ethical issues NOW and are seeing no punishment for it. In my eyes, us being punished for our past teams problems, would be like Mark Emmert being fired for something the president of the NCAA did 10 years ago (even tho he should be fired anyways). So anyways, with a team that I think could make a decent run in the tournament this year, I want to make one last push, now that I know where all my other Husky diehards go to talk about our team, and figure we could get signatures and spread the word quickly while the NCAA is having their issues brought forward. If not, the little bit of effort was worth the long shot of success. Let's go Huskies!!!

I don't disagree, but you're wasting your time.

It's been done for a year.

 

[Dooley]

Just signed it. I know it won't impact anything but more signatures couldn't hurt UConn.

 

[BoatShow]

Signed.

 

[UConn4ever]

Signed

I know, but it's still worth feeling like I'm making the effort. Us CTers will do anything for our Huskies, even if it's just a failed effort.

Just signed it. I know it won't impact anything but more signatures couldn't hurt UConn.

Agreed, can only help in a way. If anything it shows the passion and loyalty of our fan base for our team.

Great book from the '70s obviously of use here today.

 

[Uconnrick]

Signed in futility also.

 

[auggie22]

Signed. That made me feel slightly less ineffectual.

 

[CTPride]

[ctchamps]

[gibhunter]

Only 14 signatures needed. Let's get this done!

bump

 

[Husky]

signed, and definitely a good read. People who weren't raised in Connecticut don't realize how important UConn basketball is to us

 

[Ts5034]

Hey we raised $25,000 in about three weeks for JC. How about we add getting UConn into the tournament to the list of Boneyard milestones!

 

[EricLA]

Can't hurt. Signed as well FWIW...

 

[Buffett10]

Signed.

 

[HuskyNationJE]

I really appreciate everyone helping out. Wish I thought to do this a couple months back when I discovered Boneyard and the petition was just sitting. We're close to the next step. Let's make it happen!

 

[Greathusky]

I signed because I feel good doing it.

Nothing will come of this but it's my way of sticking the middle finger up to Emmert.

 

[seanmc94]

Fwiw,

I heard at least 3 announcers mention how silly it was that UConn was excluded from the final BE tourney.

You never know
