Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 1374872, member: 523"] A 1AA program given the opportunity to play such powerhouses as Pitt, Rutgers, Cincinnati and West Virginia made it to a BCS bowl after only 7 years on conference membership. Put more seriously, given the opportunity to play for something significant, the University of Connecticut has always, always, risen to the occasion and succeeded regardless of what sport you are talking about. The only other school that switched conferences during this CR period since 2003 is Louisville and they had a 5 year stretch of FB that was on part if not worse that ours. None of the old BE schools can say that, nor can MD, TAMU, TCU, Missou, Utah, Colorado, or Nebraska. But, Louisville isn't a top 20 public university and it's in a smaller TV market. So while CR rule #1 demands that data be parsed accordingly that doesn't mean that we won't succeed if given the chance. [/QUOTE]
