Message: [QUOTE="B1GALUM, post: 636963, member: 3636"] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#000000]Great post CL82. This is an excellent presentation, in my opinion, of the benefit UConn would bring to the B1G.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#000000]Since “[/COLOR][/FONT][COLOR=#141414][FONT=Georgia]there's one school everyone pretty much everyone can agree got a raw deal in the past two years, it's Connecticut”, then[/FONT][/COLOR][FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#000000] the conversation should not stop but be continued about how UConn belongs in a power conference. My hope for all of you and what I think you should demand is that Manuel and Herbst, in fact, not be “done” and advocate on behalf of UConn moving to a power conference.[/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#000000] [/COLOR][/FONT] [FONT=Georgia][COLOR=#000000]My perspective is that UConn would bring value to the B1G for the reasons that you indicated. My hope for you is that Delany et al. will eventually agree that UConn will bring this value to the B1G and accept your application to the B1G. The pursuit of AAU membership by UConn is absolutely vital though to move forward. AAU membership is, in essence, the key to opening the B1G door. It will not be easy but if the UConn leadership is as passionate about the university and its future like all of you, then it can be done.[/COLOR][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
