UConn has to hold out hope that it will eventually, many years down the line, join the ACC.
By leaving the new football schools behind, well.... that's not such a strong signal to send. Doubt Cincy would go along regardless. You'd leave the Boise's and USF's of the world to reform into a conference with much better football than UConn would play, and the only reason UConn would ever make such a decision would be that football is rather unimportant for it.
Which means--you're never going to enter the ACC.
Forget joining the Catholics. UConn is in survival mode.

Adwords based on keyworks in posts. If you see pro or college team mentioned you'll see ads geared towards that team, sometimes. Or for other products...

Dagnabit. I thought it was far more sophisticated...as in the imminent invite. Delany is talking about us and there is some little known Interweb algorithm that tracks peoples thoughts. Alas this is not the Matrix…I don’t think.

is that why ads for zoloft and xanax keep popping up?

I don't see B1G inviting BCU over us. The risk is that we go then go to ACC and undermine the traction that B1G may be seeking in NE. We offer more than BCU in everything that B1G is seeking in membership. However, wouldn't be disappointed if they took both of us to lock down NE.

First of all I cannot stand the ACC
If we go there I might become a Sun Devil Fan
(only kidding)
But we are such a great choice for the B1G .I can't believe we haven't been offered
There are 3,600,000 people in an area smaller than the greater Phoenix.
You can get to a game at the Rent from anywhere in Ct within 90minutes.
Add another 30 minutes and NYC and Boston are easy trips for football.
Yes Virginia you could plan a vacation to NYC, Boston, Newport or just go look at the Autumn leaves and still get to a game.
What other school in the B1G offers that variety.
With Southern Vermont NewHampshire, Rhode Island and even Sourthern Maine a short ride.
Its location will make it the best in league destination for their rabid followers.
Because of our success in BB we have picked up fans in NYC and surrounding New England
I have two grandsons in college one in Providence and the other in Southern New Hampshire.
Last year after a family day visit in RI we went up 95 toward New Hamshire to see the other grandson
We stopped in a huge Outlet complex 30 miles into Mass.(BC fans yes its your home state)
The only local college gear availale was Uconns
We are the only national brand in New England let me repeat We are the ONLY national brand in New England
The fools who say we have nothing to offer the B1G are misinformed or unimaginative.
Our demographics and brand compare favaroably to current B1G schools
with potentential with Rutgers to sew up NYC. with a vicous annual rivaly type game the B1G loves
When Army was a power they played ND in NYC it was the hottest ticket in town.
The NYC was a big college football town.
New York is a big entertainment town that demands the best.
Entertainment comes in all forms.
With both Rutgers and Uconn bringing in teams like OSU,Mich, and Nebraska the buzz will be back.
Geoge Steinbrenner understood this and took a failed franchise from an uninhabitable area. Whose Obit was being written.
(If you saw the South Bronx in 1970's you know what I mean)
and made it into a billion dollar business. Why? Not because its a Pro town but because he provided a great product.
Just because perception is its a pro town. Doesn't mean its a fact.
I seen many perceptions changed in my life .
The one I like most is that cow college in Ct can't attract enough talent to their farm to ever compete with the big boys.
I guess they were right we didn't compete we dominated.
The ACC can't see it because its a Parochial league of good ole boys.

They border Connecticut and we are now "contiguous" with the NYC market that Rutgers theoretically brings. The irony of it!

Well, on one hand adding BCU would make them Northwestern East in the B1G. and the Boston TV market would add more eyeballs than CT.
But on the other hand UConn would be yet another state flagship university - joining Neb. Iowa, Minn. Mich., Wis., Illinois, Indiana, OSU, PSU, Maryland and (ugh) SUNJ. And, unlike the Greater Boston market people in CT would actually watch the network.
speaking of state flagship universities: there are five who have been playing FBS football since at least 2003 who are not in the big boy club: Wyoming, New Mexico, Idaho, Nevada. . . and us. FWIW

That Boston market is valuable. Delany should add BCU, then he should add rodeo as a B1G sport. Lots of advertising dollars with such a strategy. A big hit in Boston.
