"We often disagree, but I'm 100% with you on this. Anyone who argues we should be in some mid-major conference just has no clue about where UCONN athletics is. Probably never attended any event but a basketball game."'
I said #3 won't happen. But from a purely fan interest point of view, nothing beats sectional rivalries. To say that some of the proposed alignments of the Big Blob provide any sort of sectional rivalry to UConn fans apart from RU is a joke. It is like when the Atlanta Braves were part of the Western Division of the NL. Of course the fans of the team still want to see the FB team win and to play good teams from no matter where and to be eligible to play in major bowls, but the season game by game as a whole is pretty yuck from a rivalry standpoint. I don't like it, but a move to the ACC is the best alternative. Reestablishes regional rivalries and the hoops will be darn good.
