A couple of seasons ago, I [along with a couple of other posters] opined that UConn would slowly descend into mid-major status, that the recruiting advantages they enjoyed as a member of the Big East would eventually decline, and that their recruiting would slip once the "new reality" of their conference affiliation being sunk in, and the Big East days got further and further in the rear view mirror.

That sentiment was greeted with derision from several posters, who vehemently rejected the notion that UConn would ever be a mid major, that their past success would enable them to hang on, etc.

Guess what?  They're a mid major.  The downward spiral was inevitable and predictable.

And it couldn't happen to a nicer fanbase. I hope that they never, under any circumstances, get into a P5 conference.  And now that their lone bargaining chip [success in men's hoops] is a thing of the past, they have ZERO benefit to offer any P5.  Their only chance was to strike when the iron was hot several years ago, but nobody wanted them.
