Message: [QUOTE="gsmooth, post: 4532641, member: 9355"] As Gburyhusky stated, BYU is a more realistic goal or comp for UConn football than even a scaled down Notre Dame. I think Independent carries prestige and dare I say a novelty so to speak. If UConn has their own TV contract on a bigger network and they always state periodically ZYZ network "is the official broadcasting station of UConn football "it could give people the thought of "UConn is a basketball school, but hey they got their own network deal for football. Maybe they got something going here." Media exposure is good (I am not talking Joe Paterno type if you know what I mean). I am sure Notre Dame being a football powerhouse back in the day in the 50s and 60s helped their basketball. [/QUOTE]
