Message: [QUOTE="Chip, post: 561142, member: 19"] I wouldn't say I'm celebrating their demise, but I also don't really care. How many programs can just upgrade to Division 1A and instantly have access to a BCS bowl? They were a pretty lucky program to be able to pull that off, so if that house of cards came crumbling down, so be it. Certainly helps explain things to me. And if it weren't for that football upgrade, their hoops program would have a happy home in the new C7/Big East. We were always in a better position than them, and that's why we still are. Not to say we're home free, but much closer now, which is where we deserve to be. And as cuseguy pointed out, it's not over for UConn yet. Just what might ultimately end up being a tense period for them while things could continue to shake out. Personally, I hope expansion is done, but how could anyone predict that. [/QUOTE]
