Message: [QUOTE="billybud, post: 1684249, member: 3850"] When you play in a sports conference...no one is asking about the academics...MIT would be a great addition for an academics conference..so would Harvard. I understand why UConn focuses on such...when you play questionable football, focus on the academics. When you are watching Alabama vs LSU...you are watching football and you do not look up their academic rating. Louisville has a good AD...a good fan base...plays competitively. Maryland was in decline. Their football was in the bottom third of the conference and their basketball had faded..? Academics? Yep...people turn the dial to watch a game because of academics. The problem with UConn? Folks wanted to push them into the Atlantic division with Cuse and BC...enough with that for Clemson and FSU who already are mismatched with northeast non rivals. [/QUOTE]
