Taking it a step further, Duke is a rock of the ACC and the same conference made it a point to go get Syracuse early on in the CR process. Basketball schools, like UConn, absolutely have a place inside the P5 structure. Yes, they need to be able to field a competitive football team every now and then...which these schools all do (including UConn). But as long as they deliver strong hoops to their conferences more often than not, which obviously UConn does, a mediocre/average football program can be, and currently is, tolerated. [/QUOTE]
