While WTIC’s power5 conference shot at UConn may have been driven by sour grapes at losing UConn to IHeart radio, there is an uncomfortable kernel of truth in Phil Zachary’s insult. Uconn’s presence in the AAC has seen its football program become a bad joke and it’s men’s basketball program descend into mediocrity. While Geno’s reputation may for now protect the women’s basketball program, what is our future when the quality of our schedule is measured by out of conference games and our student athletes confront travel schedules that, to be charitable, are burdensome. When Geno departs, do any of us believe that his successor will be able to sell recruits on the AAC?

Since our miserable football program renders membership in either the ACC or Big 10 highly unlikely, perhaps the time has come to abandon grandiose ambition, run an independent football schedule, and try to inveigle an invitation to return to the Big East.

A closing insult: IHeart is in deep financial trouble and I have read speculation that a bankruptcy filing is in the offing.  And for this we increased Benedict’s salary?
