Wow, it seems like you guys are impressed by UConn's 50-37 football success and a bowl game over some unspecified seven-year period, whenever that was. If you think a record like that is sufficient to attract the attention of a power conference, then bless your hearts.

Maybe not impressive to you
But having that kind of record in a then power conference puts them in the upper percentile of all power conference teams . There are really only 1/2 of the approx 60 programs who are consistently better .. Those are our only years in what is now FSB football conference as we were a good 1AA team prior . We also had a couple decent transition years 6-6 and 9-3 as an Indy FSB school. Two close loses and we got bashed by a led Vick VaTech team .
Even that 6-6 team finished with a Rout of Navy 38-0 and a win at a bowl eligible Iowa State . 34-21
That’s 9 years of success and we were relegated ,we thought , unfairly.
It’s pretty hard to remain competitive with a close to nothing media contract , playing schools we had little or no history with but to be fair we made some bad hires . We point to those years as that was the window we were playing on a level playing field .You can write
off that conference but every member except us an USF are in P5 conference with programs whose ranks include 2-3 teams who were in lesser conferences then.
Thank you for your interest in UConn sports . I hope I have left you with more empathy for our fanbase

Not sure it attracts power conferences, but it presents a strong rebuttals to the argument that UConn can’t compete at the highest level.
They already have.

The last 4 years are the programs best ever … they have gone 25-23, 17-15 in conference.
Ga Southern has more of a reputation.

Ever, as in the past 10 years. And 2 for 3 in bowl games since 2019. Good for them Panthers!

I would try and get in as football only.

Perhaps we should ask if they want an east coast partner that is a national brand that will bring the NYC and Boston markets.

Or will ESPN stick their slimy little fingers into the whole thing again?

"There's A 99% Chance" | ESPN Will Officially Expand Washington State, Oregon State Into the Big 12.

Washington State University, located in Pullman, Washington, is home to the Cougars football team. The team plays its home games at Martin Stadium.

Another kick in the gut for UConn if it comes to pass.

That would be great. 2 less spots for ACC leftovers. We need that conference to be decent when we join

Wouldnt surprised me. At this point any program that has some sort of FB team will get picked up before Uconn. FB team always seems to find new ways to be yucky . Sigh

Oregon State and Washington State are both ranked in football while we are back in the bottom 10. I think this is more of a love tap than a kick in the gut.

My undergrad advisor had a a sign on his door: The beatings will continue until morale improves. Well, our CR woes have lasted longer than M.A.S.H. was on the air. I just hope it doesn't last longer than Gray's Anatomy.

When you understand Portland (OSU is 100 miles from Portland) and Seattle are over 1300 miles from Phoenix and getting to Spokane is just simply brutal you get a sense of the problems for the Eastern Schools . By comparison UConn is a piece of cake for even ASU just a 4 1/2 hours . Im older than dirt an manage it just fine . The old agument that UConn as an outlier was just destroyed.
Which makes me even more depressed because without that excuse these conferences simply don’t think were worthy. Thats a harsh reality.

Who is in a better position right now - UConn or Washington State/Oregon State?

UConn

UConn. A top 5 program in the second most important college sport and far and away the best program in another top 5 sport, with solid success in other sports. Plus a much more highly ranked academic institution in an important area between massive population centers

With a glimmer of hope that they picked up by the B12, I’d say WSU, OSU right now. OSU in top 25 and PAC have a great year thus getting a lot of attention

But if they don’t get a lifeline in the next few months, then their position fades dramatically.

 

[buddy]

Anyone but UConn is in a better position right now. We have seen that basketball and academics are meaningless in CR. The only thing that matters is football, which is the only sport that UConn gets a failing grade.

I can't believe anyone is really falling for this trolling.
