Message: [QUOTE="atom58, post: 1826665, member: 5312"] I just finished reading a newspaper story about UConn's situation in the NY Times (but dated 3/13/2016) and some things they wrote were striking. In reviewing the old Big East, they referred to "Rutgers, which [I]mainly competes for the title of America’s worst-run athletic program[/I]" (my italics). I will link it below and won't quote all of it, but there is also this zinger: "When the Big Ten, which had formed the first all-conference television network in 2007, decided it could increase revenue by breaking into the New York media market, it chose woeful Rutgers over UConn. That is because the Big Ten universities pride themselves on being members of the Association of American Universities, a prestigious, if anachronistic, organization of top research institutions."
