Uconn's post-defection antics probably do hurt them and definately cost them consideration this go round, plus I think BC wants them excluded for recruiting reasons, on top of the lawsuit. Don't count them out eventually, they are too viable a choice not to be invited should a couple of ACC schools move on down the road. That's the best they can hope for. Marinatto must take what's left and merge with the B12 now, or the BE FB schools nead to break away entirely and join what's left of the Big 12...ASAP. Too bad for UConn, RU, maybe WV, and the others. Unfortunately, that's the best they can hope for right now, a stategic alliance with BCS programs, and that's not a guarentee a conference of this make-up will thrive or last. Waiting for the B10 to come calling is just too iffy and expansion to 16 on all fronts is too unpredictable. Just glad it's not SU, we've already been down that 'have not' road before.UConn's lead on the lawsuit against the ACC really hurt them. BC and several ACC schools didn't forget that and I believe its why we are going with Pitt. ACC is a basketball league and while Pitt is better in football UConn's 3 NCs are the most since 1999 and they are being passed by the ACC. Any way them and let's go cuse we ACCept the new conference.
