Kansas says “hi,” as does a slew of great basketball schools who are awful at football.

Basketball and football are two very different sports. Their basketball program isn’t in its best spot, but the BIG EAST isn’t some backwater conference. It’s very much a power conference, and, whether you like it or not, it’s funded like one. Football is ~80% of a TV contract. Multiple their contract by 5x, and that’s what they’d get paid if they had a football wing as strong as their non-football sports (basketball).

Add in the UConn is in the basketball equivalent to what Alabama is for football.

They aren’t going away unless they continue to burn bridges and make stupid coaching hires. But neither of those have anything to do with either their conference, or whether we play them in football.

So rather than make a vague statement about the virtues of a site that’s legendarily out of touch (“UConn to the B1G”) and more manic than this one, perhaps you should try articulating a coherent argument.
