Message: [QUOTE="NYUConn, post: 1795894, member: 6274"] TODD TURNER? How the hell did they decide to get this guy to weigh in? [INDENT]"If it weren't for geography, I think they would be in great shape [for inclusion], I do," said Todd Turner, who was UConn AD from 1987-90. "I don't think the status of their football program will be a big issue because they've been good before and they have the infrastructure in place with a good young coach [Bob Diaco]. They have invested in the sport. Their budget is very competitive, perhaps even better than some existing Big 12 schools.[/INDENT] Oh my god, this staggeringly awful on so many levels. 1) What does a guy who ran the athletic department 30 years ago know about the college landscape today? 2) Really? Again with Geography? . 3) REALLY? TODD TURNER? You couldn't find a past UConn AD from even the BCS era to weigh in? [/QUOTE]
