Snubbed And Abandoned: The ACC Keeps Rejecting UConn

UConn nothing more than a relic of fadingBig East​

I thought it was interesting that you found the linked article which was actually just a sidebar to a longer article examining Nova's decision not to upgrade to FBS football.

Villanova and the call of big-time football

Marsh won't say what he thinks on the matter.

Love the masochism. I don't get why so many sports writers seem to blame UConn's upgrading their football to FBS as having destroyed their basketball program and their school. If they had never made the decision to compete on the FBS level they would be in the exact same position they are now. Except that they would probably be tagging along with the Catholic 7. So how would that be better?

I would have much rather seen Rutgers crash and burn, they deserved it. They've never earned any respect in football or men's basketball.

At least UConn has been a very good basketball program during the Calhoun years. They're getting screwed.

The first article hit the nail on the head. When Blumenthal decided to sue the ACC, that left a big black mark on UConn in parts of the ACC. It won't be easily forgotten. I freely admit that is why I HATE them, and, wish theat they rot in obscurity forevermore.

And, Mike Tranghese is one dishonest person. He tried to sell out BE football programs BEFORE the ACC made their move. He tried to sell them out...including Syracuse...and then he scolds the ACC for being dishonest? Pot, meet kettle.

Had UConn been added, both FSU and Clemson would for certain be looking to leave, IMHO.

Louisville at least moves the football meter a bit. Cincinnati would open up a new fertile football recruiting ground for the league.

UConn does neither of those. Basketball-wise, its a no-brainer. Overall, its less certain.

Just my .02 worth...

I had a lot more sympathy for them before they decided to ban me on their forum.
They'd spent alot of time bashing JB, MCW, & the program- but when I introduced the concept of "pot-meet-kettle", suddenly their feelings got hurt.
I still think they'll land on their feet somewhere- but as of now, yes...they can rot!(n)

I tried to warn you.

People feeling sympathetic to their plight need to spend some time on the Boneyard and see how obnoxious they are.


Though it doesn't help that I throw fuel on the fire...

You and Marsh01 need to meet.

UCONN has been punching above its weight for a while. No way do they deserve to be in the ACC or any other major conference.

Tris,
I don't think I've seen or read anyone whose made this point. You are absolutely, positively spot on. Great comment.

Hating UConn forms a bond. Who'd a thunk THAT?

That is some Grade A Hate right there. It exceeds mine easily.
