Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 15759, member: 405"] I used to think that, but not any longer. Will UConn still be a desirable brand when Calhoun has retired, and Pasqualoni is done turning them into a mediocre football team? This is where their lack of history hurts them, although you couldn't have told any of their fans that a couple years ago. They are not an automatic TV draw for football. They play a boring style and have never won anything of merit. UConn may get left behind. As for Rutgers, my alma mater for law school, they never have been good at any major sport, and belong in a conference like the Patriot League or the Ivy League., playing schools like Princeton, Seton Hall, Holy Cross, Villanova and Providence. That's their appropriate level. But they will likely be part of a watered down, Conf. USA style of Big East that will survive as a landing place for other universities. [/QUOTE]
