"UConn’s two national championship basketball teams will be honored in a ceremony next Tuesday at Fenway Park, before the Red Sox-Yankees game.

Details aren’t set yet, the Red Sox say first ball honors have not been determoned, but one imagines Shabazz Napier, as a Bostonian, will get the honor of throwing out a first pitch, as Jim Calhoun did after previous championships.

We’ll provide more details as we get them. Both the Yankees and Mets would also like to have the UConn teams come to be honored in New York the near future, but dates and details are still to be worked out. Kemba Walker, joined by teammates, threw out a first pitch at Yankee Stadium in 2011."

I wish I were still in that area, I would love to go to that. Used to really enjoy going to Fenway anyway and I know that will be a great event because they know how to have some fun up there.

Once again, CONGRATS UCONN!

I hope this trip to Boston is "sustainable" for UConn. I'm not sure where they will get the money to travel this far. :)

Hey, we are New England and NYC's college team after all.

I don't think the ACC or B10 got that memo. You should resend it.

We're trying to get the word out. I didn't say anything about CR though. If nothing else, it's good for the AAC that a member school gets media coverage in NYC and Boston, in addition to our home market.

The sustainability issue isn't about money.

I heard that BC will be holding a rally outside of fenway explaining why there 1 Hockey title 2 years ago is still more important in making them New England's team.

Is it about travel? If it is I don't think the ACC would be a good fit either. UConn would have to travel to Miami.

UConn OWNS all of the Northeast...thats why a P5 conference was so quick to snap you up! Go Huskies!

We're a big deal up here. We are the only northeastern program winning national championships in any revenue sports. Obviously, it hasn't been enough to get an invite to a P5 yet, and maybe never will be. But, I'm not going to complain and I think UConn is right to tout these things.

Someone has dual national championship envy.

that is a standard practice for most sports teams that win a championship.

it's basically saying that going to the white house means DC has a uconn presence

LOL good thing Uconn keeps winning those championships. Geno vists the white house as much as the president does.
