Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 4373958, member: 523"] 538 just did an analysis on which schools are the best CR targets for the big ten using a rubric they developed. (Not good for UConn). While I found their approach arbitrary, The take away is correct. The prime factors were 1. FB prowess (UConn at the bottom) 2. Institutional fit (Public, Flagship, Academics, AAU, Secular) they overweight AAU so UConn is in the upper middle, with AAU, would be near top) history playing B1G schools counts too. 3. Other Sports (weighted less than FB, UConn near top, but doesn’t move the needle much) 4. Market (UConn is surprisingly low, not sure how they measured this, they do try to project forward which is obviously subjective) Overall, not on the radar at all. With AAU and a top 40 FB history, would be near top. Which invokes an old line about aunts and uncles. [/QUOTE]
