Message: [QUOTE="Carnac, post: 3191668, member: 5798"] I just peeked in on the football board. They're going nuts over there. They're on the verge of going to DEF-CON 4. Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth. The room is definitely divided. With the uncertainty [U]right now[/U] of where/if the FB program will be playing in 2 years looming in the air, most of them are [U]very concerned[/U]. Right now, today, they have no idea where UConn football will call home. Speculation is running rampant. The word "independent" came up a lot. Several posters mentioned the basketball fans once or twice. We're not thought of very highly there. One poster intimated that it seemed as though if this goes through, it will be every man (team) for himself, and BB fans were only interested in how such a move would ultimately help or hurt [U]their[/U] program. Also that the BB fans didn't care that much about the football program, or how a move back to the NBE could leave them on the outside looking in without conference affiliation. One poster said right now UConn is attractive as UTEP and New Mexico St. Everyone from the university president and the board of regents to the ball boys were mentioned. :( Several of them expressed very little faith in the administration to do the right thing. That we were only concerned about how that move would effect "[U]us[/U]." I don't think too many of them took the time drop in to read some of the comments and concerns many posters here have expressed about the FB program, and that do genuinely care about the future of UConn football. [I]"The biggest remaining question surrounds what happens with UConn's football team. The Big East does not have football, [B]and it's unlikely UConn would remain in the American with just football,[/B] sources told ESPN. Sources said the football program is expected to play in the American in 2019, [B]but could go independent[/B] after that or join another conference."[/I] Lots of unanswered questions right now, and they're worried. :confused: [/QUOTE]
