Meltdown in Hartford over the demise of the Big East

[OrangeParty]

I work in Hartford with a ton of UConn fans and grads and they are at a loss for words as to what they are going to do with their team now that the Catholic schools have played their hand.

Everything from disbanding the Football program, to blaming Edsell for leaving, to Calhoun being a jerk to everyone in the league for years and of course calling the ACC stupid for not taking UConn over Louisville.

The smile has not left my face watching UConn fans unravel. Its fantastic.

It so nearly could have been us. This is sad to watch, but so good for the future of our program.

It's is kind of sad but funny.

While I acknowledge that it may not last forever, I have to say that it's a sweet, sweet day here in central Connecticut.

I am actually tingling with anticipation at the prospect of seeing Marsh's "" posts descend on the board like a swarm of locusts.

It's SO far from over. The odds are strongly in favor of UConn landing on their feet in some capacity.

I know everyone feels g'town is our biggest rival, but I have to say, there's just a personal feel of satifaction, visiting the boneyard and watching them activate the self-destruct sequence...I mean I shouldn't feel this way if they weren't our rival, but for some reason, I do...now where were we with the count boneyard...9...8...7...

 

[shermstheman]

UConn saw this coming and tried to do something...but couldn't. Cincy in the same boat. I can't imagine any good options for them...that'd please many hear but not me- I hope they land on their feet somewhere soon.

I don't know if Marsh really feels that way. I am looking forward to him giving us a full explanation.

Thats why I couldn't understand why in the world Tubberville would take the HC job at Cincinnati. Makes no sense to me, go to dying conference?

We do agree. I hope people don't get too giddy over this. Everyone thought we had Rutgers pinned to the mat. Now they're in the B1G.

After UConn receives its share of the penalty fees from all the teams leaving the Big East, they will use the money to buy their way into the ACC.

By dissolving the league there will be no penalty fees I would think.

No wonder Louisville, Uconn and Cincy were so aggressive for that final ACC spot after Rutgers left. They probably had a good idea that once one of the teams left, the Basketball onlies controlled everything for about 8 months and that this would happen immediately.

according to one UConn poster UConn didn't want the ACC bid. They have a big 10 offer in their back pocket.

Sorry i am late to the party. Seeing this is the holiday season, this really comes from the heart.

The Big 10 is both an athletic and academic affiliation. Let's not even worry about the issues on the athletic side.

Does UConn (the university) meet the academic standards required of the Big 10? Based on the knowledge of their fans, I think they fall way short.

Uconn is like the kid picked last in gym class to make up teams.

Even the fat stinky kid from Jersey got picked before them.
