Coach P wants to follow SU

[OrangeOnions]

"Connecticut football coach Paul Pasqualoni says maintaining the school's rivalry with Syracuse should be a "big factor" in UConn's decision on whether to try and join the Orange in leaving the Big East for the Atlantic Coast Conference."

Wow. Surprisingly forthcoming for coach p. I would have figured him as a no comment guy, unless there's some deal that he'll become AD once he retires from coaching.

Um, no? We have played UConn in football since 2004 not much of a football rivalry. The basketball battles for sure, but honestly do people not get it if RU and Uconn are in the BE-B12 merger conference how much of a recruiting advantage SU would have in NY, NJ and PA. Please for the love of all that is good unless the ACC decides to add UConn and/or Rutgers do not root for this. The B1G isn't expanding until 2016 at the earliest when their TV contracts expire, and if anybody thinks RU and/or UConn were highly coveted why did SU and Pitt get asked first?
