UCONN Time machine

[beerfan]

There is a professor at Uconn that is developing a time machine

It looks like we are taking getting into a P5 to another level. What mis-steps in our past could we have changed to get us out of the problem we are in.

Obvious answers are:

Stopping Blumenthal from suing the ACC
Not hiring Pasquenlony as a Football Coach
Perhaps missing the field goal so we don't get killed in a BCS bowl

What else can could we have done?

Started playing teams like WVU, Cuse Pitt, RU, BC and PSU back in the 60's and moved up to D-1A when the 1A/1AA split came about.

Leave investment instructions, build up the endowment to $120 trillion, and buy a spot in the conference of our choice.

If you had 120 trillion dollars
Who needs a conference?

The Harlem Globetrotters need the Washington Generals. The UConn Trillionaires need some hapless patsies.

Tell the Storrs brothers to create the college in Stamford.

Stop saying it was Blumie's lawsuit. He was just one of many players. And from what I recall, the lawsuit gave the league time to stay intact. Without it, would there have been a league that year?

Well, the league got a waiver from the BCS to play with 7 teams that season. That had nothing to do with Blumie's suit.

However, I will concede, that it was probably Blumie's suit that kept BC in the league for one extra year letting us play with at least 7 after UConn agreed to move into the Big East a year earlier. We were supposed to replace Temple the next season, but once Miami and V-Tech bailed we were accelerated entry.

Could have kept our western lands (Ohio). That would give us enough eyeballs.

I could have sworn that we had this thread a few years ago,.... Perhaps it was a few years from now when I read it.....

3) ?????
4) PROFIT!!!

Sure, but then our state capital would be...Cleveland?
