You're what's wrong with UConn

I think we've given up on getting an invite to the current P5. In my opinion, UConn is saying:

• the AAC will never be treated as a "P6" so we may as well associate with a better basketball conference where we have some traditional and closer opponents;
• the AAC is a tenuous home, because while it has been getting better (football and basketball), we think the next round of realignment will poach the top AAC teams, and we're not one of them; and/or
• we will never be able to hang with the AAC in football and the BE is a better fit overall.

It's hard to imagine that we think the move to the BE will get us to the ACC, B1G or Big12. There is a chance that the P5 further marginalizes everyone not in the P5 (including the BE), but decides to give the AAC a seat. This may be the best move possible for UConn, but it's capitulation, not victory.

I think Uconn is really saying the new AAC deal sucks and its worth it to seek a new conference.

I would not be surprised if other mediocre programs scrap football in the coming years. Getting too costly to complete with the SEC and cheaters in the Big.

Denial gets old.

I’m not sure — I think John Hopkins or RPI v UCONN would be a good game.

Oh get lost. Who made you the gatekeeper of who is or isn’t a UConn fan, clown?

It's pretty clear that he only posts to get Likes.

I like a fully-rounded big time athletic department. Apparently you don't.

Didn’t realize that making a fool of yourself on the boneyard was a prerequisite of wanting a decent football program.

Sorry I'm not lock-stepping back to 1980.

Maybe the CTE issue will kill football and basketball will become king.
