There will come a reckoning with top tier college (call it that if you will) football in the near future. It will involve paying athletes handsomely from a revenue base of rabid community support that includes 65k tickets sold weekly at minimum along with every man, woman and child in the state plunking down in front of the TV. The stakes and money are that great. NCAA basketball is March Madness, not much else in the rest of the country, including at most P5 schools. The rest of college sports does not belong on the same campus as college football in comparison. Keep dreaming the dream that UConn football will get to that table. I enjoy it, I root for them. Mora is right in speaking of aspirations. But any talk of us being part of a megaprobreakawaycollegeconference is folly. And I don’t think that is even likely or desirable for basketball. The big football schools arguably don’t sustain winning basketball. Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia. I don’t think that’s coincidental. Maybe they will in their rogue college/pro endeavor. I know I won’t be interested in watching.
