This was clearly uconn's Superbowl ... and even after their Superbowl W they remain the biggest FBS laughing stock.

I don't agree with this part. There are plenty of horrible football teams who are happy with their conference because they are good at something.

if UConn had committed to staying in the aac...and UConn basketball was getting sweet 16s, maybe a final 4 over the next 5 years in men's basketball as a member, UConn football could have had 1 win a season for the next 5 years, it would mean nothing...UConn football would have chugged right along like Kansas football till you eventually find the right coach

this is my point about the slow death.. in a conference, it's a group package, all sports are weighed as 1 product and the cost of running a business in that conference..you can't move your football to the FCS as an individual sport when in a conference ..unrealistic

as an indy UConn football is valued by itself. UConn could get 3 final 4s as a big east, but if UConn is averaging 2 wins a season, struggling scheduling, few hundred in the stands while running a 20 mill deficit, your admin will legitimately consider dropping to FCS..it has no obligation to stay .. UConn budget is already under attack by the state legislators

Bring on USF!

100% was for the benefit of, primarily, basketball. Pretty clear at this point that UConn believes that the benefits offered to basketball by the Big East outweigh whatever benefits are offered to the football program by the AAC.

I would like, however, for it to be acknowledged that UConn Football likely only has another five or so years at their current rate even if they stay in the AAC. The thing that determines whether the program is salvageable is going to be whether or not they start actually winning some games, and both the AAC and independence present their own sets of challenges.

The thing that will determine whether UConn can survive at the FBS level is talent acquisition.

Example of how you don’t compete:
1) Your new graduate transfer came from someplace called West Florida.
2) UCF’s new grad transfer QB used to start at Notre Dame.
3) SMU’s new grad transfer QB used to start at Texas.

Recruiting wise, UConn has finished last just about every year since it has been in the AAC.

Don’t look at Stars. Look at offers. Even your three star recruits struggled to get good offers.

Example: Justin Moore was in the Dallas area. With the exception of Tech’s offer (probably not committable) and Tulane, all his offers were from MW, CUSA, or Sunbelt level teams. Smu didn’t offer. Houston didn’t offer. Tulsa didn’t offer.

Look at Lundt’s Offer list. It explains why UConn isn’t competitive.

I am a Texas Ex who saw first hand what a terrible coach Charlie Strong is. He is systematically destroying the USF program. He has zero idea how to build an offense and it shows up in their crappy play.

UConn needs all advantages to survive anything. Heck, stole a game from Temple a number of years ago when a fat security guard got in the way of a replay. Clearly a TD. Temple should have gotten that win.
