What’s your solution?

It's a fairly simple point.

With similar academics, similar hoops and similar pull in NYC, what do you propose was the differentiating factor?

Syracuse had been playing Division 1 football forever.

Well, at the time, UConn and Syracuse were 1A and 1B. It was BC that threw the monkey wrench in!

Agreed. Substituting Pitt was an easy call due to the above as well though. Good academics, good hoops, western PA recruiting and a legitimate D1 football history.

No, it was clearly our football history or lack therof as you so eloquently pointed out. If only Floyd Little stayed in-state we would have had our choice of ACC or Big 10.

How much have you placed on UCF tonight?

It's so great to watch you expose yourself as even more full of than the parody of Ollie you have fabricated.

I really think he should stop playing these childish games sooner or later.

Not if, as it appears, he is taking his cues from the cesspool moderator he emulates.

It's understandable why you've been trying so hard to change the subject.

Not at all. Bring it, littlejohn. I love reading your lies. It's all you have; it's sad, but revealing.

Your true color of Welch purple never shone so brightly.

I didn't realize 8893 was delusional, too. It's too bad because I like him :/

How is he delusional (besides criticizing the conduct of people you agree with)?

Oh, don't kid yourself, I am definitely delusional.

Yeah, just look at whats going on in his avatar's head...crazy, man, crazy.

I'm just giving him a hard time more than anything else. That's what he gets for abandoning the pool

We can argue the past all we want, but it is past. UConn didn't get into the ACC, was never even sniffed at by the Big 10, and the Big 12 chose likely self-destruction over adding UConn. We have our answer on future realignment. UConn is not in the mix for a P5 invitation.

I can stomach a low lever G5 status either in the American as football only or in the MAC, but if that was not viable, then drop football altogether. The football program will never help basketball, so it has to stand on its own, not lose millions of dollars a year and banish UConn to a southern mid-major.

 

[Adios]

Shatel: Rumblings of Sooners could shake Big Ten if realignment resumed; Huskers would likely welcome old rival OU

Waaaa waaaa waaaa! The "P5" is never going to expand again! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Oklahoma's perfect landing would be the SEC, even according to a writer in Nebraska.

Everyone knows Rutgers got into the Big 10 because of their football history, first college football game ever played!

Parke Davis was a liar about the history of football. He pulled a typical college football fan move and created a false narrative that Princeton and Rutgers created the game, so that his school could have more glory than deserved. Yale and Harvard laughed and don't care. They let the smart people figure stuff out, I suppose. The early championships need to be recalculated and re-awarded. Parke Davis' word and championship selections are worthless. It's worse than a Helms championship.

The game of gridiron football was created in New England (Boston [1874 and 1875], then New Haven [1875]), not New Jersey. If I am correct, at least some Princeton delegates saw The Game's first edition being played in 1875 and took news of this new football game back to Princeton.

Creighton AD Bruce Rasmussen commenting in Omaha newspaper.

» One more from Rass, on Big East expansion:

“It’s always on the table. I don’t think there’s a school today that would get the seven votes that it takes. I thought Wichita (State) was one of those, was on the (table) and had a great interest in the league. But there was no way Wichita was getting seven votes.

“UConn is a school that has made a tremendous commitment to football and they have to decide what they’re going to do with football before they can decide upon leaving the conference that they’re in. UConn has been discussed a lot, but the elephant in the room is, what do we do with their football program?”

Shatel: ‘Private club’ tough to crack for the UCFs of the college football world

If you chaps keep playing so nicely with one another, I might have to displace 8893 here too.
