Message: [QUOTE="NYUConn, post: 1421600, member: 6274"] It is strange, right? BYU and Notre Dame make sense cause they are strong independent programs with a history of success. Army and Navy, sure you should reward your schools for playing the service academies, it's good for America (and the academies recruiting footprint). But UConn and Cincy are strange. At first blush you say, well they were BCS teams in the last decade and have shown a recent history of success. But so did Boise State, Hawaii, UCF and Northern Illinois. UConn you say that maybe they are laying the groundwork for eventual admission into the conference, but there is no way that Cincy would ever join the B1G so if you're packaging them with UConn to give you cover why exclude Boise and UCF? It's tough not to look at this move independent of any tea leaf reading because it's really so bizarre. [/QUOTE]
