Message: [QUOTE="jdubs30, post: 3042927, member: 1620"] UConn just lost the war. Conference affiliation is 99.999% about football. They want to be the flagship university in the northeast over BC, Cuse, Rutgers, etc. They got overlooked twice. So instead of staying in a conference with solid football schools and trying to build themselves up, they voluntarily remove themselves from the conference only to end up in the MAC or CUSA. Even further diluting any appeal they may have down the line if the P5 expands. All for what? So basketball can play in a private school northeast basketball league that is nothing like it was in the 1990s or 2000s. Oh yeah and FS1! That league holds nostalgia and not much more. This should help Hurley in recruiting, but overall as an athletics department this seems like suicide [/QUOTE]
