Yes, but I can understand their frustration.  They are just as angry with ESPN as they are with the ACC.   There are level headed posters on the UConn board that realize that the conference realignment moves recently have all been about football.  UConn has only been playing FBS football for about a decade, and they have done very well in that short a timeframe.  But, others have been playing longer, built more tradition, and with that a history that is more attractive to the ACC or Big Ten than UConn.  Although the Big Ten threw that logic out the window when they invited Rutgers. 
 
It has to be frustrating to accept that with all the basketball success UConn has had they have been passed over.  It's because the contest is about football.  I will say this, UConn should feel better about their position now than say Villanova or UMass. Schools like these are in a really tough spot for staying relevant on the national stage where had they made some decisions differently 15 years ago, they could be in a better spot today.
