That's not even a glass half empty view, that's the glass with a drop left.  The fact that UConn isn't P5 has nothing to do with whether it should be.

Meanwhile, if you are honest, you would recognize that UConn's appeal is state wide and UC's is not. Hell they have a hard time fighting off both Ohio State and Kentucky in their own town, and are damned close to Louisville and a host of MAC teams, which each have a following.  Plus, Hartford/NH's DMA is [URL='http://www.nielsen.com/content/dam/corporate/us/en/docs/solutions/measurement/television/2015-2016-dma-ranks.pdf']larger than Cincinnati's all by itself[/URL].

So, you can look at it two ways.  One...southern Ohio is big on college football.  And that's true.  Or two, the potential for more fans for Cinci is tiny, while the potential for more fans for UConn is massive.  And that's true too.  UConn has vastly more upside than UC or any other school being considered, because we lack competition.  If UC has achieved 90% of its fan potential, and UConn, 10% of its, which is more appealing?
