Message: [QUOTE="BroadwayVa, post: 2957080, member: 6118"] When I started following UC BASKETBALL it wasn't national or even regional, it was local. An NC or 11 (men/women) and MONEY made UC Basketball teams visible. Other sports still were local. How many teams within 90 miles of Storrs are Nationals in football? My poorly stated and uninformed point is: Uconn has historically been as most New England teams --LOCAL. I didn't then nor now think that bad. I accept that Geno has taken Uconn to a status no one would have believed in 1970. Does the former Ag school really require national prominence for all sports? Isn't just one great? Connecticut has exceeded it's national image far beyond it's size, wealth, population might predict. [/QUOTE]
