UConn never had football history.

As far as success goes, all of those schools that you mentioned (BC, Cuse, Pitt, Ville, Cincy, UCF, Houston) had more football success than UConn. Regardless of whether you want to believe it or not.

The Fiesta Bowl was in 2011. What has UConn football looked like in the past 13 years?

Here is one year (2019). UConn football was ranked 123 out of 130 schools.

Other years were similar for many years. You may not want to believe it but those are the facts. UConn football stunk for many years and it has held UConn back. UConn couldn't get the Big12 to bite last year. Lack of football success was obviously a problem (not the only problem); hence, the 5 year runway for football to be added was proposed.

I agree about the grandfathered schools in the P4 Conferences who add nothing to those conferences. If conferences were right-sized, those schools would be kicked out. But that's not happening.
