My thoughts exactly. I don't blame WVU one bit, and won't blame Herbst for wanting the same thing, it's about time one of the football schools stood up and kicked the Big East leadership, who have always been beholdened to the basketball onlys, in the balls.
Precisely the point. When I suggested this a few weeks ago, I was the idiot, debby downer. The fact is basketball held sway over football at UConn and Calhoun was front and center in helping UConn enter into this limbo hell. This is a giant cluster-"f " symbolic of the genreal lack of leadership that exists and has existed in State Government. We suffer constantly from small thinking. Governor You Sacrafice and I'll Spend should have been crawling up somebody's rearend to make something happen to reposition the school. Talk about econmic development. Moving the school into a power conference like the Big 10 would do unbelieveable things for the State and local business. You'd see the stadium expand and local business benefit tremendously by bringing in a hard core dedicated fan base from other schools. Instead of pissing away hundreds of millions on a Hartford- New Britain busline that has no utlity, we could have literally bought our way into a premier conference and reaped the benefits. Instead we have a the giant cluster, and a huge positive program bult over 1o years is in jeopardy of falling back to the stone ages.
I blame them all. Either you win or you're a loser, and we have losers running the show across the board from the Governor's Office, to the President and down to a washed up, journeyman Coach. Too harsh? Sorry, this game is for big boys and a lot of money and economic growth is at stake.
