Message: [QUOTE="B1GEast, post: 4976728, member: 39"] We have a fantastic athletic department, world class facilities and the institution of the academics at UConn are equally impressive. We all entrenched as a premier university in New England and the Mid Atlantic. Our football team ain't that good, but when you look at the aggregate of UConn compared to other New England or Mid Atlantic universities, adding the UConn brand to an established conference makes a lot of sense. Will it happen? Who really knows? Should it happen? Absolutely. Should you as a fan care? Yes. The university has invested too much and has achieved A LOT with that investment. How would I feel if it happens? Very melancholy. The Big East was where it all began, but the world has changed. We don't live in a vacuum and we can't pretend that we're isolated from the monumental shift in the college sports landscape just because we've managed to win several basketball titles. [/QUOTE]
