Message: [QUOTE="UConnJim, post: 4049356, member: 1559"] I think men's basketball fans are upset by UConn's lost decade of men's basketball and blame it on the move to the AAC which many perceive as a football move. In the past 10 years, UConn men's basketball has had 1 final AP top 25 ranking and has made 4 NCAA tournaments (although they may have made the tourney in 2020). With the exception of the national championship in 2014 in which they went 6-0, UConn is 1-3 in the last 10 years in the NCAAs. In other words, in the last 10 years, UConn has won an NCAA tournament game in only 2 years. And, I'm sure that all of the money spent on upgrading football left a bad taste in people who wanted more money to continue to improve basketball. IMHO, if UConn had upgraded football in the late 1980s before the Big East football conference was formed in 1991, UConn would be in the ACC right now. In other words, football would have protected basketball. [/QUOTE]
