I don't care about Blue Bloods, most of those schools won before transfers and / or before segregation

We're blue collar, and the very best program in the country today

I laugh at those idiot rankings, brings a smile to me face

I've learned that on social media there's a thing called engagement and people make money off of the amount of likes and comments their posts get. I believe that's what's behind most of those ridiculous tweets. They want people to react.

That list also has Gonzaga in the same tier as Temple, so I'm not going to lose much sleep over it lol

How tf is cuse in the same tier as us lmaaooo.

Ignore these pointless lists. They are meant to be controversial for engagement.

UConn is tier 1

 

[Mr. French]

Tiers 3 and 4 are absolutely hilarious to look at closely. I think this “person” just named the first school that came to mind.

 

[businesslawyer]

I’m not surprised that a Duke fan might give us some credit. The last time they’ve beaten us in March was 1991. Thirty five years and 6 UConn championships ago.

 

[Nameless]

In the same tier as Syracuse lollllll

 

[80shusky]

I mean it is a silly list based on who is in what tier anyway but unless I am forgetting something UConn beat every listed "Tier 1" team the last time they played them.

 

[Scoe]

No sense in even getting into a debate or discussion because there isn’t one. If the detractions trip over themselves for looking stupid let them. No one actually believes this even fans of blue blood programs argue in our case.

 

[Mr. French]

BC Wyoming DePaul and Oregon State are def on par or better than Texas Tech, Baylor, Clemson, S Carolina, Iowa state, Miami, SDSU … excellent list we got here.

 

[DCKembaFan]

Ah yes, when I think of the top 70 programs in the country, I always think of Penn

It'd be worth looking into when that visual by Vinnie was created.

Look at placements for Syracuse, Notre Dame, Indiana, Georgetown, and Cincinnati - all too high.

Then look at Gonzaga, Purdue, Houston, Tennessee, Alabama - all too low.

That's out-dated compilation and a bogus reference point. It's as simple as that, and quite obvious.

 

[Jaydumo20]

The more we engage....nevermind

 

[Richmondhsky]

The more we engage....nevermind

Exactly right! Pissing off fan bases l8ke ours is the intent…more impressions and clicks. Dont read this shit

 

[Shabazzkets]

I personally don’t mind if we’re seen as tier 2, but if we are, then it needs to be a much smaller tier with a handful of schools like Louisville, Florida, IU and maybe Michigan. There’s no way we’re level with Cuse, Cincinnati and some of the other schools in that second tier.

 

[jibsey]

Close this now.

 

[Dove]

Putting UCLA in Tier 1 is like saying Corn Flakes is a Top 5 cereal of all time.

 

[EnochRoot]

Jay Bilas set the record straight a few years ago when he said, “Look, if UConn still isn’t considered a ‘blue blood’ then the term ceases to have any meaning.”

 

[Umami Zen]

Old news on Blue Bloods. Turn the page and look at results in the last 27 years

 

[That Guy]

The blue blood term is just stupid in general because by definition it does mean programs who have been great and prominent since the early days of college basketball. Because of this though, it prevents programs like UConn or Florida from being in the discussion because our success has been recent. I wish we could just drop that stupid term altogether and just say "elite programs" or "greatest programs of all time".

 

[MrJama100]

Saying UConn isn't a blue blood is like saying Elon Musk isn't rich because he got all his money in the past 30 years.

I remember the year Uconn won the second of its back to back titles. The following day and for about a week after on all the sport news shows and a lot of the podcasts most of the coverage was about Caitlin Clark?!!! Well here we are and in the days since Michigan won theres podcast after podcast slurping away the wolverines and Dusty May as the greatest things since sliced bread. The funniest things ive heard and seen besides this tier list was one guy proclaiming Michigan is a blue blood and Uconn is a new blood. Another guy saying that Dusty May has now solidified himself as the best coach in the sport, Hist team being the best team of the last 25 years and yet another fool saying this is the beginning of the Michigan era although not exactly in those words. How soon they forget.

This reminds me of a Facebook post I saw a couple days ago that showed a map with China inside a map of Florida. It said most people don't know that China is really a fraction the size of Florida.

The only purpose of the post was to get people to disagree and reply and increase their "brand" (I hate using that term).
