Message: [QUOTE="ScottVib, post: 4883072, member: 694"] I don't even know if that's true, if they can stack wins. I think they could go the Liberty route and schedule no one decent, but if they managed to consistently win 9-10 games a year, even as a paper tiger, that would give a conference enough cover to add a "basketball school." Football doesn't have to be dominant or even a top G5, they just have to be credible, in almost every other metric UConn is above (in some cases well above) most of the G5 (and some P5 schools, including some of the recently promoted schools). The problem is the narrative around the football program and the lack of success during Diaco and Edsall's tenure (even if they had stayed in the 5-7/6-6 range of the Pasqualoni era, they'd probably have been good enough to get an invite, before the disaster of the Diaco and Edsall eras).
