Message: [QUOTE="Rocktheworld, post: 4653053, member: 5037"] I don’t know why you’re trying to invoke concerns about UConn’s legitimacy as a school. It’s silly and not relevant to the discussion. But sure I’ll play along with this tangent Those schools have institutional pedigree in research and endowments that UConn simply does not have. Sports had little to do with establishing that. If we were a research institution heading back to pre-WWI and were still so behind today, maybe you’d have an argument. In what way are you concerned about UConn’s long-term longevity as an institution? As your tweet demonstrates, being a good school is being a good school, regardless of what your anecdotal residents of Tennessee (lol) think. People shy away from the northeast because they’re biased against the region and/or because of weather. It’s that simple. [/QUOTE]
