Message: [QUOTE="CougarRed, post: 1694136, member: 2461"] UConn is the best basketball program in the G5. No doubt. And it has excellent academic credentials, but not nearly the best in G5. See Rice and other private schools. And your $436M endowment would be the smallest in P5. There are at least a dozen G5 schools with larger endowments. In football, which is what drives realignment, UConn is not even close to the best G5 school/program. Zero Top 25 finishes. Off campus stadium. UConn has significant market potential for certain P5 leagues. But then again, Connecticut is one of the bottom 10 states in population growth. And the population of Connecticut is not all that large to begin with. If you add it up, UConn is a potentially attractive candidate for several P5 leagues. But "by far and away the best G5 school/program"?? Puh-leeeeze. [/QUOTE]
