It seems almost obvious that we were used as bait.

We need to keep up the progress in football and double down on basketball. The lord helps those who help themselves. I’m not even religious.

Only way we weren't, is IF the rest of the PAC decides to stay together because GK got them a nice contract. I have zero faith in that clown.

The B1G to play with itself at the Rose Bowl.

I'd have to think given the whole uhhhh nationally televised thing that might be illegal

That’s illegal but ripping down the institutions they made college football special is not.

Flugaur said that he's heard rumors about FSU. He says that they are building a war chest, as he puts it. Presumably to get out of the GOR.

Good if true, because it guarantees UConn admittance to the ACC. But it is total fantasy. So there is that.

I did like this part:

It's not 20 anymore, folks. Think smarter. Regional control/dominance/territory gain/dominance/desire to compete for national titles.

 

[MilliniumPrince]

You're correct, that article read like a pro UConn piece with an anti-UConn title. Strange.

Every one of his anti-UConn arguments can be easily shot down in debate.

He could write similar piece about Colorado....with a lot fewer positives. But he is in favor of their return. Lol

Does it though? Syracuse fans still listing every other school possible (besides UCONN) to replace departing schools. You would think at this point they would appreciate that a renewed rivalry could help their dying basketball program.

Cuse is too good for UConn. When they think BE rivalry, they think Georgetown from the 80s

Sadly although this was meant to be funny it is quite accurate.

A lot of fans from other successful programs want to deny UConn is one of the preeminent bb programs. It’s because it comes at their expense.

And yet a good part of their band width is occupied by threads about Connecticut...

We're just lucky in March, don't you know?

16-1 in national championship games between the men and women in just the last 28 years. How many other schools can match that?

I hope its clear I was being sarcastic and playing off of comments frequently coming from our friends in the Central Leatherstocking Region.

Either way I am pleased with the outcome lol

Better question: how many conferences can match that? And the answer to that question is none.

Basketball Championships since 1995 (total for each conference's current membership):
UConn – 16
SEC – 14
ACC – 11 (incl. 1 vacated)
Big 12 – 6
Big 10 – 4
Pac-whatever – 3
other Big East – 2

If you go by the conference each school belonged to in the year they won each title, then it's even more lopsided than this.

The women are a national brand. At least that’s my experience living in South Carolina and North Carolina.

After this last NC there has been significantly more respect for the men’s program. Sustained excellence and that hurdle will be overcome.

Lol, at five national championships the men are not a national brand?
