I’m not saying that at all. I’m simply saying that we are not a G6 program.  If you were a writer, would you refer to UConn as a G6 program, knowing that you were wrong?  I don’t really understand the argument here.

There is absolutely a lot of confusion surrounding UConn.  Average fans don’t really take the time to consider what conference our football program is in.  A high profile, winning season would probably change that but we haven’t had one as an independent yet.  I’ve been amazed that recently people that I talk to around Florida finally seem to be catching on that we are an independent.  They do not seem to think that is a bad deal for us.  We share that space with ND only now. It makes it look a little more appealing than it did before.  Presumably winning a lot of recent basketball championships helps make us look better overall too.

I can assure you, the perception of some sports writer in Texas or Arkansas has no bearing on whether or not we end up in a power conference. I can also assure you, anyone speculating that Texas San Antonio will beat us to the P4 cannot be taken seriously.  That would involve multiple Texas teams in the Big 12 jumping ship in order for that to happen.
