I believe
@Dooley is the one who always makes this point, but year to year success in athletics is cyclical.
Where Houston is riding the top of the wave now, UCF was two years ago and even we were there a only a half decade prior as well.
Making long term decisions on institutions based off of 15 football games shows no foresight.
Where UCF is now is where Houston would likely end up once Hermann leaves. A big school, great recruiting ground, terrible basketball, subpar academics and ranking 4th or 5th most popular in their own market.
UConn football hasn't lit the world on fire recently, but the committent to the program by the state and the University hasn't wavered.
When other schools talk about upgrading football and basketball facilities, ours are already in the ground.
We don't have plans to bring our budget and facilities to a P5 level, we are already there.
Yes, we've been passed on by the ACC multiple times but we were always a close runner up, all while Houston (and Memphis and UCF) were begging to get out of CUSA.
The Big 12 has shown it hasn't done anything that indicates they are running a rational process but I just hope when push comes to shove and the final decision needs to be made, they look at our numbers, facilities, legendary hoops program and the fact we are the number game in our town and that will outweigh the last football season.
