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.

True but UConn was less than 10 years in D1 FB & the BigEast by Domerduck
would have loved to have kept UConn if they would have focused on basketball (men's and women's) as well as the other sports they are great at (soccer, lacrosse, field hockey, etc.). They were one of the original members of the Big East who started with Catholic and non-Catholic schools (UConn, Cuse, Pitt). Currently they have Butler so you don't still need to be Catholic.
It's not like going back to the Big East doesn't make sense for UConn now. The attached article was written a day ago and a day after my post. (Maybe SBNation writers follow the Bench). They would have saved a lot of money if they had made that decision back then, although that certainly is hindsight. I do think they should consider it now and I am sure the Big East would take them.
