Message: [QUOTE="Alsacs, post: 3712621, member: 652"] UConn went to the Big East because their football program was an anchor around basketball. Plain and simple. They went to their safe space. The problem for them is we are gone from the Big East. Calhoun always considered Syracuse their biggest rival. When the Big East basketball did East/West splits Syracuse said just keep us with Georgetown for the rivalry. We didn’t care we lost an annual game with UConn. Calhoun complained about it because he wanted UConn to play us. UConn has their history we have ours. If their football program was valuable enough they wouldn’t be in the Big East either. It’s not so because their fanbase isn’t as loyal or rapid as ours and go to games no matter the opponent they have to play names their fanbase remembers to fill up their arena. [/QUOTE]
