Yeah, understandable. However, we succeed in everything we do. We were good in football in the Big East years, we’ll be good again in a P5, as long as we have a good coach.

We have some things going for us that people underestimate:

1. Our athletic department is first class, even now, without big money coming in.

2. We are a recognizable brand and football players will quickly latch on to the brand as it picks up steam. They know the name.

3. We have first class facilities.

4. We have a lot of media coverage. We are in ESPN’s backyard.  The New York media will be all over us as we start picking off football powers on the field.  The region is dying for it.

5. We are very strong academically. That provides a foundation worthy of respect in the public eye. This is not a basketball factory—-even though it is.

You can’t replicate some of these things in West Virginia, Manhattan KS or Waco TX. It just is what it is.  UConn sits among 10’s of millions of people in the most densely populated and wealthy region of the country. The potential is unlimited once success in football is back. It will snowball quickly.
