For UConn? We aren't Rutgers. Isn't that worth something?

The problem for us is more: what does Pitt bring that we don't? You and I both know darn well how little the city of Pittsburgh cares about Pitt. You made the same jokes about BC for years that you'd make about Pitt. Now you have the two of them in cities that do not care one iota. Pitt does have the history, I suppose, which helps.

How do you think Jamie Dixon feels about all this? He goes to his president to get TCU in the league- his alma mater, which he loves- his president gets them in, and then conspires to [I]kill his alma mater's relevence, and that of almost all his peers? [/I]If anything good comes from this for UConn, it's that I now know UConn has a snowball's chance of hiring Jamie Dixon in 3 or 4 years when he realizes he can't get anywhere in the ACC.

Can you blame UConn fans for being a [I]little[/I], uh, disappointed? You get the state to buy in, you spend $125,000,000 on facilities alone, you build a fan base from nothing, and then you get the rug pulled out from under you by your two closest friends in the conference, who you have allied more closely with on more things than any other schools in the last 30 years?

It hurts, guys. Should you give a ? Nah. But I'm not going to apologize for feeling hurt.
