Message: [QUOTE="hank970, post: 5063933, member: 6349"] That's pretty salty, considering that UConn is not yet a member of the B12. Even so, I'm sure the Syracuse folks are relieved to learn of your good will and potential Largesse. You think Syracuse's [I]problem[/I] is that they hold themselves in such high regard that they consider themselves worthy of a B1G invitation? I've read more than a few posts in the Bone Yard which fantasize about UConn being worthy of the same, bloviating about its status as a state flagship, it's USN&WR ranking, its status as a land-grant university, its relative proximity to State College, PA, and so on, while also neglecting to acknowledge UConn's rather unimpressive research portfolio and endowment, its lack of AAU membership*, and other metrics and factors of possible interest to the B1G. *this is a cue for someone to point out that Michigan State was invited to the B1G before achieving AAU status, and/or mention Nebraska's subsequent demotion, blah blah blah.
