Message: [QUOTE="RockyMTblue2, post: 3192214, member: 250"] Column from Mike Anthony this morning I can get behind. "The fuse on the this-is-who-we-are moment had been burning for a long time in advance of Saturday's flash-bang news that shook up the national college basketball picture and set a university's top athletic pursuits back on course. UConn was built on basketball and it had become time for the university to protect at all costs its prized assets, the programs run by Dan Hurley and Geno Auriemma. It is with that priority firmly established in the past handful of months that led UConn out of the American Athletic Conference and into the Big East, a move that is expected to be formalized and announced in the coming days. It’s not often that one can relive part of the past while creating opportunity and potential for the future but that’s where UConn is today, walking back into the right neighborhood with a realistic view on what makes present-day sense.
