The UConn Campus encompasses the entire state. Not only was BB created in Springfield but Volleyball slso But most importantly football was created in Ct by Ct native Not only did he re-invent the game of Rugby to American tastes but through a series of Saturday Evening Posts articles created the football myth that quickly made it a national sport . Not a small part of that promotion was he term All-American ( you might have heard the term) Football is our sport It was so popular in the state when Yale was a major player they had to construct Yale Bowl to seat 70,000 largely local people 100 years ago. It's an amazing structure,unimposing from the outside, but dug many stories into the ground. Big time college football deserted the great fans in Ct that UConn could revive. [/QUOTE]
