It just gets a little frustrating when we do literally everything better than Rutgers (academics, athletics, etc.) and Rutgers gets the golden ticket. They're morons.
Sorry but UConn only became relevant with the creation of the Big East, which was a cozy northeast power conference, which perfectly fit the cozy state of CT. We're now trying to play with the big boys, when we're still a postage stamp market. Rutgers is awful and may always be that way, but they pull in a much larger market than we will ever will.
Sorry, again, but I lived in MA and they could care less about UConn, same with Fairfield County. UConn is really just a Hartford thing and the P5 knows it.
Bash away....
