Message: [QUOTE="crewbear742, post: 3192349, member: 7435"] The patient is lying on the ground with half his head shot away. This whole "Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet" narrative doesn't account for all that particulate brain matter splattered on the wall. UConn just hitched its future to a basketball only conference that was formed in explicit opposition to football. The current members of that conference want UConn to establish its commitment by permanently removing football as a priority. Emphasis on "permanently". That requirement isn't going away. The AAC said "Nuh-uh" to UConn staying in as a football only member. The MAC and CUSA have both politely declined. Independence is a hospice. What does that leave? FCS? A new conference that might as well be FCS? At which point the administration has to ask "Why bother?" Just save the money. See the first comment about committing to a basketball only conference. But maybe Fox can strong arm some other teams for a few games. Why would Fox do that? For a valueless UConn football team? For a UConn administration that is so obviously not committed to maintaining football as a sport? For the fan base? Have you noticed half the basketball board celebrating as they void their collective bladders on the body? This is an exercise in managing UConn's withdrawl from football. They want to accomplish this task with as little trauma as possible. That's what all this "We aren't leaving FBS" talk is about. It's just morphine to make the dying easier. Gotta feel for Randy Edsall. UConn really made a fool of him. [/QUOTE]
