Message: [QUOTE="cuse10, post: 2683489, member: 5920"] I'm sure the state of Connecticut pouring as much money and investing into the program set them far apart from other schools on the list. That's a reason the football team will not drop down to FCS or disband as some people suggest. Too much has been put into the program to quit now. Again, I don't have sympathy for Edsall seeing that he bolted after their bowl game without even manning up to his players. It was a great opportunity that was too sweet to pass up. It didn't help that Maryland poisoned their relationship with fans, alumni and boosters by firing Friedgen. Had he stayed at UConn and kept them above .500, they'd likely be an ACC member school today and have the stability they are seeking. [/QUOTE]
