Message: [QUOTE="nelsonmuntz, post: 2461823, member: 833"] The P5 strategy has failed. I don't see any realistic path to P5 membership. All we are doing now is damaging our brand and blowing millions of dollars. UConn is in a southern mid-major conference. We are 350 miles from our nearest conference opponent, and most of the league is over 1,000 miles away. We do not fit in this league. Southern recruits aren't going to come north just so they can play Southern opponents in a mid-major league, and northern recruits have lots of options to play close to home in geographically relevant conferences. The Big East is kicking our butt in recruiting. It is just ignorant to argue otherwise. We are one more mediocre coach from being Houston post-Guy Lewis, a former powerhouse that got left behind by conference realignment once the legendary coach retired. At that point, even the AAC will not want us. [/QUOTE]
