Message: [QUOTE="WoadBlue, post: 5369758, member: 1145"] When UConn decided to leave the AAC and return to the BE, I asked a UConn fan with whom I had talked off and on for years (mostly about why I was totally opposed to the ACC ever giving serious consideration to adding UConn) what he thought about that move. I said it meant that UConn was accepting to never be anything in D1A football, which means UConn football should return to D1AA as it was when BE started its football division. The UConn guy said that what was best for UConn athletics overall was that its basketball be identified with THE top league set in and for the northeast and its basketball fans. And if that meant that UConn football became the worst in D1A or dropped back into D1AA, the important thing was UConn basketball. I told him that was why UConn would hurt the ACC, but I understood what he meant. My guess is he would tell you that you are making the same basic case. [/QUOTE]
