Message: [QUOTE="ninety-nine, post: 5092001, member: 5497"] I literally pictured them laughing amongst themselves as they assigned UConn -- permanently -- to the kiddie table with UMass and Delaware. BC consultants were probably on speakerphone egging them on and shouting out the names of the most obscure directional schools and FCS call-up candidates they could think of. I get that this is essentially a draft proposal and a jumping-off point for discussions, but still, starting us out in the lower tier makes it easier for the powers-that-be to simply overlook us in future negotiations, ratifying UConn's previous near-misses with the Big 12 and ACC. It creates a presumption that we belong in the lower decks, not just now, but for good. [/QUOTE]
