Message: [QUOTE="UcMiami, post: 3884740, member: 199"] Seriously - Uconn would love to be in a P5 conference and Geno would be pretty happy with that as well, but P5 is driven by FOOTBALL and it isn't going to happen in the current environment. But ... Uconn has been in the Best women's basketball conference and dominated it for 14 years - 2000-2013. If they had been in any other conference during that time or since, they would have dominated. During that time the BE sent 19 teams to the FF and won 8 NCs. Four different teams Uconn 11/7, ND 4/1, Rutgers 2/0 and Louisville 2/0. The only teams that challenge the rest of the BE 8/1 during that time are TN, LSU, Baylor, and Stanford. Next best conference is the SEC with 12 appearance and 2 titles. Two teams TN 7/2, and LSU 5/0 Big 12 8 appearances and 2 titles. Four teams Baylor 3/2, Oklahoma 3/0, TX 1/0, TA&M 1/1 ACC 6 Appearances 1 title. 3 teams Duke 3/0, UNC 2/0. Maryland 1/1 Pac10/12 6 appearance 0 titles. 2 teams Stanford 5/0, Cal 1/0 Big 10 4 appearances 0 titles. Perdue 1/0, PennSt 1/0, Minnesota 1/0, Michigan St 1/0 Missouri Valley 1 Appearance by Missouri State. If Uconn were in the Big10 it would be just like the old Big East with Rutgers and MD taking the place of ND but who replaces Louisville? If Uconn were in the Big12 it would be just like the old Big East beating up on WV and Baylor taking over for ND but who replaces Louisville? If Uconn were in the ACC they could go back to beating up on Syracuse, Louisville, and ND with NCSt replacing Rutgers. etc. Uconn was bad for basketball before the BE imploded. Would being in one of the P5 really change much? [/QUOTE]
