OMG! 
Just a slight correction. Sedona lives just north of Austin so she would fly out of Austin Bergstrom airport. Add an hour to your travel time.
I can pinch hit for @bags27, as another former professor from an Ivy League institution. Yes, education is what you make of it. The top schools provide access to better resources, and importantly, a peer group that inspires you to succeed. Then you have a network that can help you through life. Same story with UCONN and basketball - better resources, great peer group, a reputation of excellence and a family of former players, many excelling at the very pinnacle of the game. You can still make it from other institutions but ....
It is times like these when I miss @bags27 because as a former college professor at an Ivy league institution he would remind us all that an education is what you make of it. However... the position that there is only a "marginal" difference in education between ND and UCONN (for the general/average student ) is an untenable one. As politically incorrect as this may sound Sedona will be majoring in basketball at which ever school she chooses, therefore UCONN is a superior choice.
UCONN stars go on to do pretty well in WNBA. And the really legendary ones, if you aspire to be so, are now getting jobs in the NBA not to mention broadcasting and coaching in womens game. Great recruiting material.
This pinch hit was a home run!
Bragging rights.
Your response too was out of the ball park. Few arguing over ND, Stanford, Uconn, etc see the point you delivered. College at any institution is as much or as little as YOU make of it. Add to that your 9th inning homer was--(paraphrasing) Basketball players are in these schools to enhance their skill set for Europe or the W. Not too shabby!! Points I wish I used but shall remember.
Rare players ever walk into Geno's studio of artistic excellence as a starter. Z comes readily to mind: Skilled, experienced, div One ready but not exactly as Geno foresaw her play. That goes for 5 new players. If anyone of them starts we will know we have an exceptional player or she's the current best.
Just my ignorant opinion: I suspect if Prince is game ready she will initially split time at the center with ONO In practice they will be developing a High Low game. OnO and Prince will both need some protection from overplaying and fouls until both prove they may play full games without more than 3 fouls. Some thing I prayed for these past 4 seasons.
Unfortunately it is the rare freshman forward indeed that gets an abundance of PT anywhere at a top 10 D1, but at UConn they're Unicorn's. Let's not forget, not only has she not had a freshman year so that she's lacking in experience, but not having played for so long means her conditioning is suspect. That alone will limit her PT anywhere.
I didn't realize the players had to sit in the stands, walk the halls for concessions and bathrooms, park their car and find the right exit. What does matter is 10,000 fans show up in the XL Center to root them to victory and allows their NYC alumni/fans the ability to see them....
I feel we owe it to Rebecca Lobo to also point out that the best post entry passes come from another BIG, so Prince should expect some lovely dimes from Liv as well.

As I pointed out in several earlier posts, ND is not easy to get to either, particularly if you're flying to O'Hare from TX and then driving all the way to South Bend, IN around and through Chicago traffic. If making it easy on family and friends to see her play was a deciding factor, Sedona will remain in TX.
Other than a shorter flight, why do you think Hartford is harder to get to and/or less convenient than say ND? One has an international airport and is the state capital, the other is somewhere on the Indiana-Michigan border.
