Welp, ACC stays together with a new agreement (LINK)

You have to ignore the second paragraph of the post you bolded to reach that conclusion. You really are a third rate troll.

I ignored the second paragraph because I know that UConn's proximity to New York and Boston doesn't mean diddly-squat. Storrs is in rural Connecticut, and UConn doesn't hold any more sway with employers in Boston and NYC than any other comparable or better school, many of which, including some genuine heavy hitters, are actually located in those major markets. National universities attract students from every state and numerous foreign countries, and their grads disperse to all manner of places in search of work after earning their degrees. Similarly, important employers cast a wide net when looking for the best and brightest talent. Recruiters don't care if prospects went to school up the street, on the opposite end of the country, or even from what you dismissively refer to as flyover country. Further, many prestigious firms aren't located in the Northeast's urban miasma, and that's part of their appeal to prospective employees.. An insufferable fanboy, your outlook is far too parochial.

You should just post “UConn sucks” at the beginning of every one of your posts to save us the time of reading your drivel. You do realize this is a UConn board, right? What are you doing here if you hate UConn so much and think UConn grads are all idiots?

This is such a bizarre take. Corporations of all sizes naturally recruit from schools in their region and students from any given school are more likely to find a job closer to their school than further away. Of course distance isn't the only factor but it is certainly a major factor for graduates overall.
