Message: [QUOTE="ctchamps, post: 662645, member: 37"] I don't have an agenda! Just thought it strange you picked two years when I responded to you in the original post. However since you presented this new data it tells me Ct is far more productive per person than Indiana. Almost double. BTW I live in SC so Indiana is a wonderland by comparison. The better comparison for the Big Ten would be to take all the endowments of the various higher education institutions in Indiana vs. Ct. In fact I would recommend Indiana vs New England. Why? Because the region is culturally connected and there is a potential that it would align with a strong university that is a player on the national scene. And then you could begin to see the untapped potential that UConn brings. My impression of your agenda is that you don't want to place any value to the history conehead and others have presented about the Northeast's general favoring of private schools over the publics in the past. This was the opposite of what took place in other regions of the country particularly the midwest and California. But that trend is changing in a big way in Ct. That scares those privates in the northeast who are just one tier above UConn. Schools such as BC and Syracuse. They know that they are beginning to compete with UConn for the better students. Unlike folks in the Southeast and Midwest they are very aware of the rapid changes that have taken place both in academics and athletics in the last decade at UConn. It is this rapid rate of growth that frightens these institutions. It is only a matter of time that they will have a difficult time competing with UConn on many levels and they know it even as those in the Midwest and Southeast don't. That is why BC blocked UConn's admission. It is the president of that university and not the AD who understands the dynamics that is taking place in the northeast and is trying his best to sabotage things. [/QUOTE]
