Yeah, I mean that's a valid point and honestly a perspective I hadn't considered. What of the general student body on scholarship, though? I think we agree, there should be more guardrails in place than what we have currently.
I love college football, so I'll watch just about anything. That said I feel that there were some interesting matchups outside of the playoff that drew viewership this year. Alabama v. Michigan is a good example. I also feel like the interest generated by the playoff did not diminish the interest in the rest of the games, but actually drew more viewers in. A rising tide lifting all boats to turn a phrase.
Oh, that's why? BTW, what is your point?
I want to disagree with this, but I don't.
Appearances are everything, and you have a habit of not appearing interested in football. Hence not being in a power conference.
First throat punch candidate of the New Year?
And he thinks he's landing.
For trying to have a conversation? Lol, so much for such a "chill" fanbase. I've been nothing but respectful and honest. Some of you have shown your colors, however.
We don't suffer fools well.
Sounds like you don't suffer subtle disagreement well, more like it.
Solving a problem that doesn't exist... as im not even sure what you're trying to solve
You insult and then want to play the nice guy. You can't have both
Who have I "insulted" that hasn't unnecessarily attacked me first? Hm? I've tried staying on topic and I would love to get back on it now, but don't play the victim. Only thing I'm guilty of around here is not being a UConn fan, and I've been open and honest about that. All I've done is try to offer an outside perspective and discuss a topic I find interesting with you guys. That's it. But from jump, a small segment of posters have done absolutely nothing but harass and harangue despite my best efforts to stay on topic, to remain respectful and recognize I'm in your house. Don't pretend I've been given a fair shake around here. Even when I've been positive about UConn, sharing my belief that they're solidly in when the dust settles, explaining my rationale as to why I feel that way and why I've felt differently in the past, you and said small handful decided to mock the view and focus on trying to figure out what team I cheer for. So don't... Don't try and play some victim. You get the respect you give, and I've tried very hard to be respectful, be positive, stay on topic, and in return some of you have been downright boorish.
Used to be, you'd watch a bowl and if someone entered the draft, you could still kind of get a feel for how your team would look the coming season. Now, it's untelling who will or won't be back.
