Message: [QUOTE="Waquoit, post: 4049359, member: 50"] Maybe because BB actually [I]was [/I]threatened by football. Both programs would have been destroyed if UConn was still in the AAC. And how did we end up is such a revolting predicament in the first place? One problem for the non-fan I think is that FB at UConn was sold on a pack of lies. First, that we needed it to protect BB in the future. That was a lie, the opposite happened. And second, UConn would be playing in a big-time league filled with perennial powers. That was important, CT is full of pro fans, higher level FB was a requirement for success. That wasn't even true for a season. The hail mary to Ville et al worked for a time. But the AAC is a total turd and FB first fans are in denial about that and the resentment toward FB caused by UConn ending up in that god-forsaken conference. [/QUOTE]
