Message: [QUOTE="hardcorehusky, post: 5348905, member: 593"] Saying UConn and UMass in athletics is the ultimate insult to UConn. We had a plan when we moved up from D1. A new stadium, ultimately a great practice facility, etc. UConn did it right until the tectonic plates of Conference Realignment and our reactions to them threw us down the sink hole. UMass decided to upgrade schedule to FBS, but never built infrastructure like UConn did. They have a bubble outside a decrepit Yankee Conference stadium. The fact that Whipple and Brow won as many games there as they did is a testament to them as football lifers. I look at UMass as guilt by association. Their ineptitude somehow seeps onto the casual fan's view of UConn. Instead of putting another $50M into the program, they should go back to FCS for football and put their money into soccer and become the next Vermont. [/QUOTE]
