This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

UCONN wanted badly to be part of ACC, but were snubbed by trout

The ACC selected Louisville over UCONN. I think BC was against UCONN

When UCONN decided to go to FBS in football, they made a large investment in the program and 40,000 seat Rentchler field was built in East Hartford. Now with the Big East announcement, the football program is in limbo.

I don’t think UCONN football can survive as an independent and I am not sure where they can go as a football only member. Their options here seem to be Conf. USA or the MAC. Don’t think that will happen in either case.

The AAC was a bad fit for UCONN both geographically and athletically. UCONN’s strength is its basketball programs. The men’s team was beginning to wilt away in the AAC.

With this announcement to join the Big East, I think UCONN decided basketball is more important than football.

It will be interesting to see what happens to the football program now.

The attached article from last January was pretty spot on about the UCONN athletic programs future.
