The fall of BC

[B1GEast]

Their program is down

These quotes from the article say everything:

I think it's sad that all of us are from this area and none of us are going to BC. For Massachusetts players, it's kind of something you wouldn’t believe you'd be able to do, going to some of these schools that you see on TV -- Michigan, Notre Dame, Ohio State, all the really big schools no one expects to play for.

Even when I walk around campuses, people are like 'Where are you from?' I tell them I'm from Massachusetts and they're like, 'I didn’t know they play football there.'

Yes BC is down but I'd much rather see an article saying that UCONN is on the rise. We can gloat about BC but it really is beside the point. Our goal is to upgrade UCONN and IMO if BC also progresses, it's not bad for us (as long as we kick their on the field).

No one in the Northeast is going to consistently beat Michigan for players any time soon. That's hardly a realistic standard.

No, but maybe you can beat them for players occasionally by offering a top notch program that rivals most BCS schools (conference affiliation, stadium size, tv exposure).
