What Ken Davis said in this article about UConn is so true.  When are the Power 5 brokers going to wake up???

"I continue to get a kick out of the national view of Connecticut. [B][SIZE=5]The Huskies seem to meet or exceed just about any criteria for membership.[/SIZE][/B] The big argument against UConn is geography. If that’s true, perhaps the UConn administration should focus on mileage charts during their video presentation to the Big 12.

Google “driving distance” and plug in some cities. Storrs, Connecticut, is 1,947 miles from Lubbock, Texas. The Big 12 already includes West Virginia, and Morgantown is 1,465 miles from Lubbock. That’s not a huge difference – by airplane.

Storrs is 1,383 miles from Lawrence, Kansas, home of the Jayhawks. In the Atlantic Coast Conference, Syracuse travels to Tallahassee (1,234 miles) and Miami (1,417). Have you heard any “sarcasm” surrounding those distances? Don’t think so. [B][SIZE=5]It’s time to knock that out of play as a negative for UConn.[/SIZE][/B]"
