Message: [QUOTE="Scooch, post: 3844220, member: 628"] I suspect that they can't drop to FCS due to the optics of it. You can't upgrade to FBS, build a new stadium, play in a power conference for a while, make repeated overtures to the ACC and B10... and then drop to FCS. It might make much more financial sense in the here-and-now, but it would (a) be a terrible look institutionally, and (b) end any possible future of playing in a major conference. We know that the latter is incredibly unlikely, but I imagine UConn is going to exist in this FBS purgatory on the off chance there's a seismic shift and they can find a better home. There's always a remote chance that there's unexpected conference realignment, and someone has a desperate need to fill a spot. Really, really unlikely, but UConn has to be prepared for the chance.
