But we feel the same way about you guys.

I see Oregon, Washington and USC / UCLA. Im not sure what school you follow, but I have not seen anyone else on my TV.

I'm also not sure how old you are but back when UConn was in a conference with an automatic bid and a TV deal, we were on TV regularly. Made the Fiesta Bowl.

I do appreciate there is a lack of knowledge about UConn. Weird perceptions too about the lack of market based on... Im guessing the small size of the state? Yet our state has more people in it than half the B12 states.

I saw Pac12 fans in agreement that life will be easier for UConn because it has a small athletic budget and because it has fewer good sports than the Pac12 remnants.

Yet UConn's athletic budget is $20m higher than Oregon State's and $15m higher than Wash St. It has many more sports. It was top 10 this year in baseball. Top 15 at points in hockey. It obviously wins men's and women's titles. It has won titles in field hockey; softball won the BE, etc.

If anything, this exercise emphasizes perhaps that it's not a good geographical or cultural fit--but we knew that.
