Everything in context, my friend.  The statement to which I replied posited that UConn would be a good addition to the B12 because WVU needs eastern company.  I contend that, if WVU indeed needs company because it's perceived as a geographic outlier, then UCF needs company more because it's even more isolated geographically with respect to the rest of the conference.  USF, regardless of its athletic prowess, would be a sensible B12 addition to address that need.  As the crow flies, Tampa is less than 100 miles from Orlando, and Storrs is about 400 miles from Morgantown.   If concerns about geographic isolation were a motive for expanding the B12, and I'm not sure they are, then UCF would have the more pressing need.  Beyond geography, the other metrics I mentioned are frosting on the cake (I hasten to add that UConn's basketball prowess is frosting too).  If you can't see the logic in that assessment, then heaven help you.

I doubt that Yormark would take calls from either of us, but when he considers the recommendations of others, I bet he's swayed more by logic and credibility than by fan-boy emotion.  As always, [I]logos, ethos, pathos -- [/I]in that order.
