Message: [QUOTE="DarthGrumpy, post: 1387969, member: 2141"] If there was a deal between the B1G And UConn and if UConn was going to join for the next TV Contract (2017?), word would have gotten out by now, especially on the football side of things. Rutgers' relatively successful first season in the B1G (8-5 overall, 3 wins in conference play, bowl win over UNC) was in part due to the 'leak' to recruits about the pending jump before it happened. Saying you, a prospective, 3/4 star recruit, can play in B1G football, even if their facilities are lacking, is huge. If UConn was jumping up in 2017, the recruiting would have to pick-up this year at the latest for UConn to have a chance at being competitive in football as football is not basketball where just 1 or 2 marquee recruits and turn a team around.
