its strange, but in many ways, UCONN getting the BCS bid last year has been anything but a positive for them, because it:

1) Cost them over a million dollars to buy unsold tickets.

2) (to a degree) changed their public perception from an up and coming program, to one that "didn't deserve a BCS bid and got boatraced"

3) Catapulted Edsall to a job that he wanted, and took the day AFTER the BCS game.  which was waaaay late to be in the market for a college head coach...which led to...

4) The hire of Coach P.  which is not looking like the best hire of last season...which led to...

5) The public meltdown of Booster Burton, which makes Burton and the school look kind foolish publically...which ultimate leads to...

6) The firing of Jeff Hathaway, which may have been eminent any way. But if there's ever a time you don't want to be without an AD...its now.

7) and because Hathaway was the NCAA chair, and the Big East needs representation, the league is forced to hire Hathaway back to be lobby for the basketball schools.  Which is like being a third wheel and your best friend and ex girlfriend go on a date.

...just sayin..
