Ouch, good burn!  It never occurred to me that someone might bring up the conference thing in this thread but you did it!  Excellent job all around.  You guys should have a good team next year and good teams benefit from playing other good teams, even if they are unwanted mid-majors. 
I'll make an attempt at answering your question even though the whole CR thing is very hard to understand for me and probably most people who aren't directly involved.  I believe if UConn had a stronger football program it might have ended up in a better conference situation but I can't be sure that was the issue.  There is a narrative that BC blocked UConn's inclusion in the ACC but I don't know if that is true or not because I wasn't in those negotiations obviously.  Rutgers athletics is a hot mess and they somehow ended up in the Big 10 I can only guess by the strength of their football at the time.  Or someone erroneously thought they would bring the Big 10 the Northeast market from a television perspective. I think football drives the bus and basketball really has nothing to do with it. But again, I am only guessing and I am not sure.
