Message: [QUOTE="dwalks93, post: 1572307, member: 5598"] Who knows all the factors that have combined to put UConn its current predicament in the AAC. Saying it is "fact" that the lawsuit had no effect on other ACC school's perception of UConn does not make it fact. We do not know how the lawsuit changed the dynamics. I do not think UConn is not in the P5 purely because of Richard Blumenthal. What I think is the lawsuit did not benefit UConn's candidacy. The true tragedy of UConn in the G5 is that it is a series of betrayals, miscalculations, and constantly changing metrics for admission. UConn is a strong P5 program and it is baffling to try and figure out how we ended up in the AAC. There is not "one thing" that has cursed UConn, it is a lot more complicated and there is no question other programs have conspired against us. There is a reason rule #1 exists. IMO the lawsuit was not helpful. In some circles UConn and the other plaintiffs went from the sympathetic victims to the litigious aggressors. The "scorched earth tactics" did not work if the goal was to make UConn financially whole, hold the BE together, or increase UConn's chances of being selected for the ACC. Those are the only "facts" we can definitively state. But the most important "fact" is the past is over. It cannot be re-done and it is not worth fighting over. Time to move on....none of this will matter if UConn makes it to a P5 conference [/QUOTE]
