Message: [QUOTE="History Geek, post: 4455845, member: 4345"] I think UConn has a shot to be in a league like this. No, our academics are not at this level, but we are a highly respected public flagship that competes on the periphery with these schools for students (i.e. UConn is an academic/financial safety for kids whose first choice is one of these -- I teach seniors at a CT public high school, I know). I bet there are enough institutions like this to put together a nice league, maybe enough for an eastern league. Add Wake to that list, and perhaps us, BC, Syracuse, Rutgers (pains me to type), Pitt, Georgia Tech, Miami (I don't think they can compete with the highest football tier anymore). Maybe convince Villanova and Georgetown to invest in football at this level. I'd sign up for that in a heartbeat. [/QUOTE]
