Right, you have no clue what was happening in a previous argument and you're beating the heck out of the strawman argument that UConn is a major football program. Is there someone out there disagreeing with you on that?
I'm also not arguing that Auburn is a SUPER AWESOME BASKETBALL PROGRAM. They're a high-major team, though, right? Or did they get transferred to the MWC when I wasn't looking?
I explained the context in my previous post (and see that my question over what constitutes a "major program" went unanswered) so I'll just leave it at that.
Auburn has been absolutely terrible at basketball and there is potential for the SEC to look even worse now that there are 7 conferences each year that can be better than them. That doesn't include the MWC. The reason I made the UConn comparison is to just make sure there is no chance anyone can argue that Auburn basketball is considered good/major/ big time just because their football team has had success and competes in the SEC for football. This doesn't mean that Pearl cannot have success at Auburn, but that the job right now is no where near major/ big time or an ideal job for any coach that is not a young up and coming coach that is using it as a stepping stone. UConn football is the same thing. Hence why UConn just hired one of the rising stars in college football coaching, but will leave in 3-4 years if he has success.
The UConn football to Auburn basketball comparison is extremely good in my opinion. Both play in a conference that is likely to be the 5th-or 6th best conference each year, sports facilities are very good, a fanbase that supports sports, winning tradition in sports at the school, but very little national success on the field for UConn or court for Auburn.
If by high major you mean anyone in the top 150 of college basketball programs, than they are.
