Message: [QUOTE="hank970, post: 4730429, member: 6349"] Reaching a bowl game, for the first time in years, after a 6-7 (losing) season? That's a participation trophy. If UConn were consistently good in basketball, and it is, then it would be a worthy addition to any basketball-centric conference in the country, even the very best basketball-centric conference. And that's where you are, in the very best basketball-centric conference in the country. Rejoice! If UConn aspires to join a more football-centric conference, then it probably needs to prove that it can be consistently good in football -- good enough, at least, to garner wider media interest. UConn hasn't done that. Of course, there are other factors at play besides athletic prowess: geography, market, academics, fan-base, facilities, history, endowment, rivalries, research activity, public perception, and so on.
